safety, health, liberation for the people of palestine……that is the goal. everything else is just noise.
it is easy to let ourselves fall into despair when reading these latest messages from bisan, from motaz, from saleh….the grief and hopelessness in their words is unfathomable, but it only means that the rest of us have to keep doing everything we can.
i saw someone talk about this on twt as well but once u engage with organizers offline it is clear that the movement is alive and well, that the fight will continue on…..let this grief sit with you and will us all into action, please.
Bisan's recent post. I think it's important for you to read it. Tonight 03.12.23, journalists in gaza share their last messages. There are no words to describe the horrors unfolding in gaza right now.
I no longer have any hope of survival like I had at the beginning of this genocide, and I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days. I have been sick with severe viral infection for days and cannot move from the mattress!
I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream.
I live in a world other than the one I claimed to be building! I am a community activist who lived on the fantasy that the world was free and just, and I sought to bring rights not only to my people, but to many men and women in third world countries!
I was shocked that I was not from the third world! Indeed, we are the most humane and moral! Yes, because the world approves, supports, and finances the genocide we are being subjected to, legislates it, and gives reasons for for 58 days! While we are a people who have been living on occupied land for 75 years and are still searching for our rights and communicating our voice to the world!
My message to the world: You are not innocent of what is happening to us, you as governments or peoples that support Israel’s annihilation of my people. We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget .
A Message to friends: Thank you and the supporters around the world. You have been compassionate and very strong. We ask you not to lose hope, even if the world seems completely unfair and your efforts have not yet resulted in a ceasefire.
Good morning people! The world unpaused their favorite genocide today.
DO NOT STOP SPEAKING FOR PALESTINE.
Hey y’all take 5 minutes to call your house representative and senate and call for an immediate d escalation and ceasefire in Israel and Gaza. I’m so serious. Number matter The app and website 5 calls gives you the list for your area and even a script
The people of Gaza have asked us to use our voices and now you can literally do that. Pls call!
There were only 3 in my district it literally does all the work for you and tells you exactly what to say. You can even prerecord your audio if you have trouble talking on the phone.
"donate to gaza" "humanitarian aid to gaza" "raise money for gaza" and egypt, gaza's neighbor that has the only border through which aid can get through, cannot currently get aid through to gaza because israel is refusing to let the trucks pass. the gate was supposed to open three hours ago in a deal struck between egypt and the US to let foreign gaza nationals out and humanitarian aid in. now israel is denying it. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement: "There is currently no truce and humanitarian aid in Gaza in exchange for getting foreigners out." and this is after israel bombed the border crossing three times in the past week. this is the reality that's happening right now. the tonnes of aid that countries are donating, the money the EU is promising, all of this is NOT GETTING THROUGH TO GAZA. if egyptians cannot get through to gaza, nobody can!!!!! the only fucking way this happens is through international pressure to hold israel accountable and that is currently not happening!!!
this is genocide. israel is a fascist state with genocidal maniacs in charge, and they want gazans obliterated, they want gaza gone. this is genocide happening right in front of us. and the entire first world has sanctioned it.

not affiliated with aid but your local community may be doing a solidarity protest tomorrow listed here
Anera is one of the few orgs able to work directly in Gaza, delivering food, blood, and medical supplies, in addition to their regular activities in economic and agricultural sustainability and sovereignty. I’ve worked with them before and highly recommend.
PCRF also works in Gaza, their HQ was bombed in a previous attack. They do good work, especially with kids.
wanted to also add a crowdfund for a mother of two sick children in gaza. her friend is also accepting donations for her through her p*ypal (ayaghanameh)
and gaza mutual aid is now currently overwhelmed with all the donations they received and have closed their inbox. thank you everyone who donated!
doctors without borders is treating patients in gaza right now and accepts donations. they’ve reported all hospitals are currently overwhelmed from injuries
