ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help

this is an incomplete thought but it’s pretty weird when people veer into an almost noble savage conception of indigeneity with regard to palestine because palestine was very much a fast industrializing class society in the early 20th century and in fact the betrayals of the palestinian bourgeoisie are largely why early resistance to colonization failed. like i understand rhetorically why people are drawn to do this but class contradictions in palestinian society have helped kneecap the struggle for national liberation at almost every stage with horrific results

for those unaware.. the soviet union is why all my dad's brothers were able to go to college for free through their extensive scholarship program for global south students, and enabled all of them to go from a life of total poverty to being doctors and lawyers. this is the case for countless men and women of their generation. I think every day of how if the soviet union had not been undemocratically destroyed, America would not have been able to impose a total thirty year reign of terror on our region. if you are sympathetic to socialism and oppose American imperialism but still have a reflexive opposition to the history and legacy of actual state socialism, start there

if it makes any of my fellow arabs (especially those living in the levant and adjacent areas) feel better: greater israel is fundamentally an impossible thing to achieve. israel cannot not take on all the different forces working against it and especially not while holding the public opinion in their favour.

this is not wishful thinking. to achieve this, they would have to defeat: palestinian resistance, lebanese resistance (alongside the lebanese army), hezbollah, syrian opposition militias, syrian regime armies, turkish militias, russian forces, iranian forces, & (their biggest threats) kurdish and bedouin forces. not to mention they would be threatening the safety of jordan, iraq, egypt, and turkey in the process, so their armies are likely to mobilise at the very least (alongside the fact that fighting turkish militias would be fighting a nato member).

don't let zionist propaganda or a nihilist mentality make you think they're some unstoppable force; they're already experiencing losses in the ground invasion of lebanon against hezbollah (separate from the lebanese army, btw). they're not invincible, don't let them convince you that they are.

keep hope, and support your arab friends wherever you can. we will win this, for freer homelands and our liberation. i love you all who share my struggles, and those who don't just sit back and watch.
