A word to a (very) few of my "followers" from #Gaza:

I'm trying to support as many providers of food and aid as possible. It's never enough, but there is only so much I have to give.

Some of you may believe that hammering a list of 20+ Gaza supporters, day by day, and often multiple times per day, with never-changing posts was a good idea.

It is not. I never wanted to report anybody from Gaza for spamming, out of principle.

But I am VERY close to starting it.

His medication is about to run out, and missing even a single dose could be dangerous for his health.
I need to raise $200 to buy his medicine. Any amount, no matter how small, will help keep him stable.

“We draw, we shape the clay, we colour it, we laugh. Those are the best moments of my day,” says 14-year-old Rital, living in an UNRWA school-turned-shelter with her family in #Gaza.

Like the other 660,000 school-age children in the Gaza Strip, Rital’s childhood has been shaped by grief, repeated displacement and continued disruption of their education.

Through art-based self-expression, UNRWA counsellors begin to address the deep psychological impact of the war by inviting children to play, draw, and talk at their own pace.

"Israel Reopens Kerem Shalom Crossing as of Today"

Unfortunately, anyone reading this headline might think the crisis is over.
But according to the Gaza Crossings and Borders Authority, only 16 trucks entered Gaza yesterday through Kerem Shalom — 2 commercial and 14 humanitarian aid trucks.
This is far from enough for over two million people.

إسرائيل تعيد فتح معبر كرم أبو سالم بدءا من اليوم

أعلن الجيش الإسرائيلي، مساء الاثنين، اعتزامه إعادة فتح تدريجي لمعبر كرم أبو سالم التجاري في غزة، ابتداء من الثلاثاء، بعد إغلاقه السبت الماضي تزامنا مع العدوان الإسرائيلي الأمريكي على إيران.

Breaking | US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington continues efforts to evacuate American nationals from the region, announcing that around 9,000 Americans have already left since the start of the war, while approximately 1,500 others have requested assistance to depart.

Rubio also confirmed that a drone struck a parking area adjacent to the US consulate building in Dubai, sparking a fire at the site.

He added that the United States had prior knowledge that Israel was preparing war against Iran, claiming Tehran was determined to develop a nuclear weapon.

Democracy Now speaks with Israeli analyst Ori Goldberg in Tel Aviv. He says "there is a broad embrace of this attack" among Israelis, bringing together the country's liberal, right-wing, religious and settler groups.

"They all seem to agree, broadly and deeply, that this war is inevitable," says Goldberg, who adds that nobody has articulated a clear strategic vision for the war.

The illegal U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran continues a rampage that has devastated countries and international institutions to eliminate all obstacles to U.S. hegemony. The U.S.-Israel Axis has not succeeded yet, and it is up to the world to stop them.

They are also most likely to describe the Democratic Party as:

* “too beholden to wealthy donors & billionaires" 46%

* “did too much to support Israel in its invasion of Gaza” 44%

Murdering children and watching them die is something the #IDF does as a sport. There are many, many videos that prove this and you kind of get desensitized to it. Remember that the majority of people in #Gaza are actual children - or as #Netenyahu calls them: "human shields", possibly also "target practice".

I think we’ve all noticed that support for our loved ones in #Palestine has taken a hit, whether that’s due to burnout, financial stress, or believing the false claims of “peace” and “reconstruction”, it’s hard to say.

So, I’m here to incentivize people to continue supporting. I mean, who doesn’t want a set of handmade coasters, amiright?

“So you have TikTok just smashing our young people’s brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza … And this is why so many of us can’t have a sane conversation with younger Jews because anything that we try to say to them, they are hearing it through this wall of carnage. So I want to give data and information and facts and arguments and they are just seeing in their minds carnage and I sound obscene.”

“They trust their own eyes and ears instead of what I’m telling them.”

Happy to see that berlin.social has gone above and beyond what is required by German law to suspend an anonymous and antisemitic Zionist account (@hydra4455@berlin.social) that was engaged in harassing people voicing their opposition to Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people on the fediverse.

This account is just one of many following the same tactic of replying to posts with Zionist memes before blocking the original poster (so they can’t reply, etc.) and then unblocking them later so they can continue their harassment. (Rinse, repeat.) They will, no doubt, create new accounts on different servers. Please be vigilant and report + block on sight.

Gotta love Israel, man:

It’s not “we’re settler colonialists”, it’s “coloniser libel”…

It’s not “we’re commiting genocide”, it’s “blood libel”…

Colonise a land, ethnically cleanse the people living there, set up an apartheid state, start commiting genocide and – this is the pièce de résistance – STILL have the fucking gall to paint yourself as the victim.

But utter “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and you’re a terrorist, apparently.

Nice double standards there whiteys. Hey, careful, your inner colonialist is showing.

Hey everyone,

@casey and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• asmaa-mahmoud (@asmaa98)
• Ahmad (@Ahmadfamily)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

Genocide denial and denial of war crimes is illegal in Germany*. Except if it’s Israel commiting them while enriching the German state through weapons sales**. Then it’s sacrosanct.

Isn’t it fascinating to learn about different cultures and what makes them so unique and exciting?

A Palestinian boy has died after waiting 14 months for Israeli authorities to allow his medical evacuation from Gaza, despite having approved papers.

Under the ceasefire agreement, Israel pledged to allow 50 critically ill patients to leave daily through the Rafah crossing, but only a handful have been permitted to exit since October.
