Good evening dear friends 🌑
How are you? How’s your health?

Trump announced a “board of peace” for #Gaza, that includes him, Kushner his corrupt son-in-law, Netanyahu, and Blair. No Palestinians are involved. This isn’t a board of peace, this is a board of imperial occupation. Please join your local community of solidarity with #Palestine and fight back.

This is your regular reminder that you can donate to ease the suffering of those in our fediverse family who are enduring settler colonialism, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide at the hands of Israel in Gaza.

I recently watched a video of a #journalist asking a young girl in #gaza abt her dreams. She described how her dreams are distorted; dreams of nothing but shelling, destruction, fear,& #horror

Oh my girl! Even those of us older than u have lost control,& we dream of nothing but pain.
Yesterday, I woke up feeling dizzy after struggling for my life in a dream. Our place had been bombed, I felt myself dying, my body going numb.
I couldn’t catch my breath till I woke up
#genocide #palestine

I haven't posted my own campaign for two months; I was so busy raising funds for Noor's campaign, which we use to pay her medical school fees.
I forgot that I also have to take care of the entire family without exception—from the apartment rent to my brother's engineering tuition, my own university fees, and our food costs.

So please if you have a chance to support me here, then don’t hesitate
I would appreciate it always ❤️❤️

Good evening dear friends. 🌑
How are you? How’s your health?

I’m a little bit hungry.

And I’m a little bit tired. I’m working on university assignments, but at the current rate, I won’t be able to pay the tuition fee for the next term. I pray a miracle happens.

Yesterday, a helicopter manoeuvred just a few meters above my head. It was majestic and terrifying.

I pray for your good health, happiness and wellbeing, my friends.
Please keep me in your hearts.

Report: "The Israeli Knesset has approved in its first reading a bill that would allow Palestinians accused of taking part in the Oct 7 attack to face the death penalty"

"Under the proposed law, a special judicial panel, led by a retired Central Court judge, would have broad powers to hear cases involving crimes such as genocide, violations of state sovereignty, assisting the enemy during wartime, & acts of terrorism."

Adelaide Festival board resigns and Adelaide Writers’ Week cancelled after 180 authors pull out in protest of Zionist board decision to disinvite Palestinian author.

Remember this, if you’re a Zionist: like the Nazis before you, you are committing genocide, you are on the wrong side of history, and – as long as there are people of good moral character and conscience to oppose you – you will not succeed. Your only allies are the MAGAs of the world and those too spineless to stand up to them and to fascism. And your entire movement that conflates support for settler colonialism, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide with being Jewish is fundamentally antisemitic, an affront to Jews who oppose Zionism, and makes Jews everywhere less safe.

I gave up trying to "excerpt" this excellent piece that makes short thrift of whataboutism with ruthless efficiency.

«Why do protesters flood the streets for Gaza but not for Sudan? A question that does not illuminate injustice, but disciplines how solidarity is allowed to appear.

What is framed as “moral inconsistency” reveals far more about those posing the question than about the movements it targets. The comparison rests on a gaze shaped by Europe’s colonial histories and racial hierarchies; a gaze that fragments struggles, isolates suffering, and demands that solidarity be rendered legible, proportional, and politically harmless … From within this logic, empathy appears as a scarce resource to be evenly distributed, as if protest were an accounting exercise rather than a political practice.»

"This video explores how Canaanite, Aramaic, and Hebrew linguistic layers survived within Palestinian Arabic through agriculture, place-names, tools, and daily life. From ancient toponyms to rural vocabulary preserved by farmers, masons, and olive growers; the Palestinian language is a living archive of the land. A multi-layered record of 5,000 years stretching all the way back to Bronze Age Canaan.

The UN human rights office has issued a report detailing what it calls Israel's "systemic discrimination" against Palestinians [..] and said the situation has "drastically deteriorated" over the past three years.

Israeli laws, policies and practices were having an "asphyxiating impact" on every aspect of daily life for Palestinians and violated an international convention against racial discrimination, it said.

Hey everyone,

Gaza Verified is now open again for verification calls in 2026.

The new process for signing up for verification calls uses sign in with Mastodon and should remove the last remaining technical hurdle that was giving some of our friends in Gaza a hard time (adding the verification link to your Mastodon account is not intuitive in the current Mastodon interface). With this new flow, you won’t have to, we do it for you.

gaza-verified.org

Also, please remember that Israel, USA, and Germany are continuing their genocide of the Palestinian people with the complicity of the UK and almost the entire rest of the EU.

And we can help, if only a little. And even if it’s just a drop in the ocean it’s still a meaningful drop for those it helps:

Folks, I’m just putting the finishing touches on an update to the Gaza Verified site that will make signing up for verification as easy as signing in with your Mastodon account (with none of the manual adding of the verification link to your profile that proved to be a stumbling block for many).

I’ll be reopening sign ups today once I’m done with that.

In the meanwhile, please remember that there are folks in Gaza who are suffering through an ongoing genocide at the hands of Israel and its Western allies (US, UK, and the EU) so if you can help, please do:

gaza-verified.org/donate/

None of us are an international agency and we can’t help everyone but you can help improve one person’s life and that of their family and that means something too, especially when the international agencies that should be helping are being prevented from doing so by Israel and the US.
