News on @fadel-aldani1

Fadel has contacted me again, and he has more information he'd like me to share with all of you:

He was taken to the hospital because of his constant pain and diagnosed with Hepatitis C, on top of his infection. He was prescribed a treatment called Zebeta, but it's not available in pharmacies due to the deteriorated medical system in Gaza. They also advised him to eat honey, but it is extremely expensive at $200, and he can't afford it

Fadel's mental state is in shambles. He is in both physical and psychological pain every single day. This is not normal. This isn't how anyone should live. I am begging you to help by sharing his campaign and donating to it, it's still only at €1,067/€10,000 and it's going very slowly. Please do whatever you can to help. He's an extremely kind person and doesn't deserve any of this anguish

Fadel's campaign has been verified by gazavetters, line 197 on the spreadsheet

"No sugarcoating the Palestinian cause to make it palatable for Westerners. We don’t want peace—we want freedom. We don’t want to live side-by-side, we want the settlers to leave our land. There’s no conversation to be had. The demand is clear—we want to return to our home. We don’t negotiate with terror!sts. Long live the Palestinian revolution. ✌🏼🔻🇵🇸"

Interview with released prisoner and cancer patient Mohammad Aklouk, who had been detained since the start of the war. Mohammad describes the horrific conditions of his detainment, including the small, oppressive cell windows and the inability to see sunlight. The repression units frequently ordered prisoners to drop to the ground and brutally beat them. Mohammad emotionally recalls a fellow prisoner, Mohammad Al-Kahlout from Jabalia, who was struck in the head and died in his arms. Aklouk is one of 70 prisoners who were released on June 11th 2024 through the Zikim crossing west of Beit Lahia currently staying in Kamal Adwan Hospital.

Bisan has called for a global strike this week 1/21-1/28! Offer support in as many ways as you can, but don’t feel bad if you can’t do everything or do it differently than others. We all have a part to play.

As there's a genocide going on, we humans complicate things way beyond necessity. I don't want innocent people to die. As simple as that. Not everything is about politics.

Enough for Me

Enough for me to die on her earth

Be buried in her

To melt and vanish into her soil

Then sprout forth as a flower

Played with by a child from my country.

Enough for me to remain

In my country's embrace

To be in her close as a handful of dust

A spring of grass

A flower.

-- Fadwa Tuqan

I hope, in these days, to share poems or parts of writings of these wonderful people and that this will also encourage you to read and share poetry or small writings - both of writers and your own -.

WRITING IS ALSO A FORM OF PROTEST!

Here's a Palestinian that needs your help. Fadel ( @fadel-aldani1 ) is a 23 year old, currently displaced in Gaza with his family. Before the genocide started, he was a student in Advanced Technology, but his studies have come to a stop because of the tragedy happening in Palestine. I'll be sharing in this post some photos Fadel sent me of what his life is like under the genocide

Because of the Israeli occupation's attack on his land, his house has been destroyed from the bombings. Fadel and his family were injured, and there were very few hospitals that could treat them, since most hospitals have also been reduced to rubble. Fadel is in need of surgery, and it cannot be performed in Gaza due to the lack of resources

Fadel lives in pain every day, with shrapnel inside his body. He urgently needs to be evacuated out of Gaza to receive proper treatment, and the cost of this is very high

On September 19th, he set up a gofundme to cover the costs, but his campaign has been going very slowly, so far raising only €775/€10,000. Please, if you are able to, donate to his campaign, and share it even if you can't donate. His time is running out and he urgently needs our help. We must do everything we can to help the people of Palestine

Fadel's campaign has been verified by gazavetters, line 197 on their spreadsheet

The sadness and despair in those eyes...

There are no innocent soldiers in iof, including the women. I've seen female soldiers laughing and dancing at the misery of Palestinian people and doing heinous acts just like their male counterparts.

keep boycotting. keep protesting. keep talking.

"As Columbia University’s administration threaten the mass suspension of hundreds this afternoon, students and faculty in the Gaza liberation encampment are remaining steadfast and collectively refusing to leave. In their own words, suspension for Gaza is the highest honor. May we all learn from their example." from Palestinian Youth Movement, 30/Apr/2024:

I'm now directing my beadwork fundraiser to Al Nasser Charitable! This charity is #13 on Operation Olive Branch's mutual aid list! Ibrahim has been DM-ing me about this campaign, so I've decided to pitch in and help!
