🍉 This is a signal boost for Mohammed Hijazi! 🍉

vetted by 90-ghost here vetted by northgazaupdates here

Folks, this is Mohammed. He is 30 years old, and he is currently displaced in Gaza with his elderly parents. They are trying to promote their fundraiser to evacuate, but they are still very low on funds. To date, they have raised only €2,106 of their €20,000 goal.

In Mohammed's words:

With each step I take, I carry the weight of my lost home and the dreams I once held dear. But I refuse to let despair consume me. I'm fueled by the unwavering belief that there is hope beyond the horizon, a place where I can find safety and sanctuary.

They are relying on the compassion of strangers to see them to safety. Can you be that hope?

I encourage you to read and reblog his posts, as well as follow him at @savemohammedfamily. Your support will mean the world to them -> if you cannot afford to make a donation yourself, your reblog might bring their story to the attention of someone who can.

Any contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference.

🔴help me 🙏😢

This is part of the suffering of the tent. The tents during this period are like an oven due to the intense heat. Please help me

Dear friends,

My family in Gaza is enduring extremely harsh conditions. For over 9 months, they have been living in Jabalia Camp under severe hunger and thirst, completely isolated from the outside world. They wait for hours in long lines to secure water and food, with no shelter or safe place to stay, and their homes have been destroyed under the scorching summer heat. Civilians and the defenseless in their tents are being targeted randomly, adding to their daily suffering.

Every day, I wonder how long this situation will continue. Will it end, and will they survive? If they survive the bombings, will my family survive the hunger and thirst in northern Gaza? Will I see them after 7 years of being apart? Will the Rafah crossing be opened for them? Will they become just numbers on TV screens?

After months of deep reflection, I decided to create a fundraising campaign to help my family leave Gaza and secure a better future. Please, help me take care of them and keep them safe until they have the chance to evacuate.

Your donations and help in spreading this campaign can make a significant difference in my family’s life. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us a step closer to achieving this urgent humanitarian goal.

Thank you very much for your support and generosity

Feeling left out

[tootiredtoname]

this happened 7 years ago, the people were only trying to help a girl who was bleeding from a shot wound.

Watch the video yourself, you can see the people who gathered were not posing as a threat, they were only concerned about the girl. Yet an officer felt it necessary to harass a man in a wheelchair?

There is no neutrality. There is nothing complex about it once you open your eyes and realise the people of palestine have been dealing with an oppressive force for years

After the hospital bombing, I finally heard back from my grandmother and confirmed that several of my relatives were murdered by Israeli bombing. Seven of them, to be precise. Three are still going, including her. We've been talking constantly ever since.

Asked if it was possible to head south, and was told they did but were also bombed there. So they decided to go back home, in Zeitoun. Their home was bombed and they were pulled out of the rumble, then driven by ambulances to the al-Ahli Arab Hospital. There were people in every corner. Gazans sheltering, sleeping on the floor. Gazans dying on the floor, waiting for beds.

Four were declared dead on arrival, three were in need of surgery and other three were just bandaged. Then, a bomb was dropped in the parking lot that made parts of the ceiling collapse, like Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah reported in that horrific conference/interview. Those in need of surgery died.

By the way, just in case you didn't know: the Church of Saint Porphyrius, the third oldest in history, bombed by Israel a few days back, was located near the hospital.

When looking for new shelter, they saw schools with signs hanging outside, "We can't take any more families." They met families, sympathetic but already sheltering too many people. They're now staying in an apartment building they found empty. Sleeping in the corner of the living room. If the family comes back, they'll apologize and leave.

Told me she was saving her phone battery for when the bombing stopped, and she had to ask for help to rebuilt the neighborhood. But she doesn't think it's gonna stop anymore. The ones still with her are mute most of the time, like they're saving energy, but she feels lonely and wanted to talk. There's no internet and to connect to WhatsApp, people are buying "a card from the supermarket, there's a password and username." Not sure what she meant. Still, the internet is inconsistent and won't load neither videos or images nor pages, so she doesn't know what's happening on the outside world.

Told her there were a lot of people protesting to stop the genocide, she replied, "The bombings are getting worse by the day." The bombing yesterday was the worst she ever witnessed. The entire neighborhood is infested with the smell of death, of decomposing bodies. Bodies are piling up in the streets and she's not sure if it's because they ran out of places to store them, but most of them are in bags. The smoke of the bombings hide the blue sky—she hasn't seen the clouds for a while.

Asked if I could share their pictures, names and dreams with people and was told, of which I partly agree, "they're not entertainment." If anyone genuinely cared, they would be alive—I'd argue there are people who do care, but I'm not gonna lecture her pain. And they don't deserve to be used to fulfill someone's sick fantasy. Told me to remember what some Israelis do with pictures of dead Palestinians. And I do.

For those of you who are not familiar, many times before settlers got together to celebrate the murder of Palestinians. For one, in 2015, Israeli settlers set a house in Duma, West Bank on fire. An 18-month old baby, Ali Dawbsheh, was burnt alive. Both parents later died of wounds and only a 5-year-old, Ahmad, survived, although severely injured.

Two celebrations of their murder are widely known, one at a wedding and others outside the court in which two were indicted for the terrorist attack. In the wedding, guests stabbed a photo of the toddler, Ali, while others waved guns, knives and Molotov cocktails. Israel's Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, was present.

That's what happens in an apartheid. Palestinians are so abused by authorities that their "innocent civilians" come to accept the brutality as necessary or are desensitized by our suffering. After all, it's been 75 years—get used to it!

So I won't risk the image of my loved ones, in fear they are used in these kinds of depravity. I will say, though, the world lost a young footballer. Lost a female writer and an aspiring ballerina. Lost a kind father, who was also a great cook, and a loving mother that enjoyed sewing and other types of handicraft art. Lost a math teacher and a child that wanted to become one.

People think Israel is testing new weapons on them. There's civilians arriving at the hospital with severe burns, which they thought was from white phosphorus, but apparently the pattern is different from the one caused by white phosphorus. It's widely believed Israel tests weapons in Palestinians.

Jeff Halper, author of War Against the People, a book on Israel's arms and surveillance technology industries, said: "Israel has kept the occupation because it's a laboratory for weapons."

They've ran out of drinkable water and the "aid" Biden sent was only for the South of Gaza and no fuel, for hospitals, was allowed in. Many shelves in the supermarket are empty. She said many are convinced that if they don't die from the bombing, they'll die from starvation or dehydration, or whatever disease will develop from the dirty water they're drinking.

Told me all people do now is pray, cry and die. Told me she hopes West Bank is spared. Told her Israel bombed a mosque in West Bank and dozens of Palestinians in West Bank are being murdered by settlers, so she bided me goodbye.

This is for people of Israel/anyone who supports Israel/anyone who wants to stay "neutral" about this genocide, remember that this is how your fav "defenders/heroes/government servants are supposed to be responsible" are talking about innocent Palestinians civilians:

If you choose not to speak on this matter, if you choose to not speak up for Palestinians, then be well assured, 100% guaranteed that what's happening in Palestine can (and will if you let Israel get away with MASS MURDER) also just as easily happen to you, and then there will be other people who would stay "neutral" and silent on this matter.

If you think that the reason you're not taking sides is because you don't really know the situation that well, then EDUCATE yourself. It is your responsibility, as a fucking human, to do your research to stop and prevent such atrocities from being committed.

(I know, I FUCKING KNOW I have at least a few dozen followers from Israel/support Israel/ZIONISTS who are reading this and I know that your eyes may be blind, but your hearts aren't. Don't be a hypocrite, and don't be ignorant)

Whenever something good happens to me, all that goes through my head is ...'do I even deserve this?'

[tootiredtoname]

I'm a failure even at trying to love myself.

[tootiredtoname]

I'm starting to hate myself for what I'm doing to me..
