If you want to read one article to understand what has happened on the ground in Gaza in the past 14 months, this is it.

Experts say the series of Israeli attacks that violently dismantled a UN-backed humanitarian effort shows “a pattern of apparent war crimes”.

Is a tent really $1000+? (Not a fundraiser)

Hi everyone, I've been looking through past posts on this, and I understand there's in crazy inflation and it's debated why, that's not my question. Someone in Gaza got in touch with me asking for aid and trying to figure out what I'm capable of. I'm not trying to figure out if they're real or not that's not the issue, I'm just trying to understand what is going on with prices for tents. Is it really 1000+ now?? I just want to have a realistic understanding of how much I could possibly help. Thanks so much all. God bless anyone trying to help suffering helpless people..

(Mods Not a fundraiser) What you need to know about fundraisers. If you don’t know already then you are not talking to people in Gaza & should save your opinions on Gaza until those opinions are informed by talking & listening to the people in Gaza

“I read something about: Some people deny us asking for help through GoFundMe campaigns (mutual aid is love)

I will clarify something regarding the GoFundMe campaign:

We are not beggars and have never been. We are educated people who are successful in our lives. For example: I am a pharmacist, my brother is a teacher, my second brother is an engineer, and my sister is an engineer

Each of us had our jobs and was successful in our work, but it is the curse of war that forced us to create the campaign.

And we asked for help after we lost everything, our work was our source of income, 9 months without a source of income, without food, without water

We have the right to obtain the most basic requirements of life. We have the right to obtain food and clean water. It is not our fault that we buy safety at a price. We have the right to ask for help after all Arab and Western governments participated in our destruction with the Zionist occupation.

There is no shame in asking for help, and the whole world has a responsibility towards us. The genocide is still going on and we still need you. When the genocide ends, we will not stop building ourselves again.

We will succeed again. We will continue and remain stronger and we will depend on ourselves. This is a promise from us, but stop the genocide now”

The disgust and anger I feel towards my government which is The United States is overwhelming.

Every single day for over a year I have watched children die and be ripped apart. I have protested and raised awareness and written letters to my representatives.

If you are a Palestinian please know that as an American I do not stand with my country I stand with Palestine. There are many like me as well and we will continue to fight for your freedom.

If you’ve ever wondered why there is such a lack of Gazan voices on Reddit, my friend Dina in Gaza may offer some insight… unfortunately I must share her voice here because she no longer can

Since the beginning of the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, we have been exposed to the most severe crimes and genocides, including forced displacement, destruction of our homes and facilities protected by international law, the killing of children and women, violations of all human rights and principles of international law, arrests, and famines at the hands of the brutal criminal occupation.

It did not stop there. The occupation also targeted Palestinian content in an attempt to weaken our narrative before the world. They worked to cut off the internet and communication networks to conceal their crimes of genocide against defenseless civilians. Additionally, they imposed censorship on Palestinian content and deleted thousands of posts on various platforms. This was achieved through a request sent by the Israeli Attorney General to Meta to remove content related to the crimes of the occupation.

In light of the ongoing escalation and increasing violations to which Palestinians are subjected, Palestinian digital content on various communication platforms, including Reddit, faces immense pressure aimed at restricting and blocking it. This leads to the isolation of our narrative from the world. The ban has also disproportionately affected individual accounts.

For example, in my personal experience, I created a Reddit account to share Palestinian content, interact with others, and raise awareness about the Palestinian cause. As a student of law, this platform was crucial for me to amplify my voice to the world, shedding light on the genocides we are enduring, the suffering we experience while living in tents, and the violations and injustices inflicted upon us by the occupation.

I was asking for help from people because we are in dire need of assistance in light of these difficult circumstances. The exorbitant prices, lack of resources, and absence of a stable income have worsened the situation—especially since my father, besieged by the occupation, lost his job when the war began. However, I was quickly banned on Reddit simply because I am from Gaza and was asking for support, assistance, and interaction with Palestinian content.

Here in Gaza, we are subjected to the most severe forms of injustice in all its shapes and forms.

The question remains: is there anyone who will take responsibility for this ongoing electronic suppression of content that supports Palestine and Gaza in particular?

Ceasefire Between Israel and Hezbollah Brings Hope as Focus Moves to Gaza

The Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, brokered by the US and France, is holding steady. As global leaders call it 'the first ray of hope,' attention is shifting to Gaza. Can this truce lead to lasting peace in the region?

Poland-Palestine relations. Is Netanyahu Polish? 

Hello! I don't know if anyone will be interested, but lately I keep seeing some crazy posts against Poles on social media. Of course, it is mainly connected to Zionists who were born in Poland or come from old Jewish families from Poland. I just want you to understand that Poles are not enemies of Palestine and never have been—our relations have been very good since the 70s. Since the 80s we have had an open Palestinian embassy in Poland, which also allows Palestinians not only to travel to our country, but there are also many students here. We are also not enemies of Jews, but of those real Jews who live according to the Torah, not Zionism.

Our people are constantly called antisemitic by Israel because of our past; they accuse us of the Holocaust, and I have the impression that they hate Poles as much as Palestinians. This is probably the nature of Zionists; they want to exploit the inhabitants of a given country/region, and then when you do a lot of good for them, they call you a rat, an anti-Semite, and a murderer. My family was also in the camp; they were taken to Germany and treated as subhumans—they were not only Jews, but the Israelites did not believe me.

I think what I want to convey with this post is simply not to believe all the accusations thrown at Poland, that we are as bad as the Zionists in Israel. We are not; most normal people support Palestine, and our government (I think) feels bad about the suffering of Palestine but is afraid to be called an anti-Semite again because they know what power Israel has over the US and the rest of the world. But I still think they are cowards—if there is genocide, they should take a clear stance. Especially since in our country for the last 200 years there have been such crimes that our land is certainly soaked in blood.

And maybe it doesn't matter, but these rumours that Netanyahu is Polish are not true either. His father was born in Poland only because Netanyahu's grandfather worked in Warsaw. In reality, he was a Russian Zionist, and his wife was from Lithuania. None of them had Polish ancestors; they did not speak Polish; they did not assimilate into Polish society because they looked at them as "worse people" as they were not Jews; and MILEIKOWSKY IS A RUSSIAN/BELARUSIAN SURNAME, NOT POLISH (In Poland it would be Milejkowski). They left for Palestine when all their children were small, so Netanyahu's father spent over 90 years there. In Poland only 10.

Anyway, we don't want Zionists, murderers, and people who hate Poland here, so stop writing that they should go back to Poland, to which they have no rights, just like to Palestine. I have also read many times in Zionist sources that Poland has always been their land—not true. Our king allowed them to live on our lands, without which they would not have been able to enter here when they were expelled from Spain.

So we don't want these murderers here, and I don't think other countries in Europe would like that either. Our grandparents have already seen too much suffering and war. Since the Germans caused such hell for the Jews and now they regret it very much and send them weapons, they should invite them to live in their country then.

Free Palestine! 🇵🇸
