I saw your post on reddit. I promoted some campaigns for Gazans here, hope yours will gain attraction here since you personally posted it. ๐
My heart is devastated for what you are going through. I'm every day on call with my Gazan families I help to and I live your suffering with you, but no one can understand the complexity of horrors you're going through but you yourself. Watching videos and photos is not being there and I really hope more and more people will start to donate directly to families while this crime against Palestinian people continues. Because what you're going through is surreal apocalyptic horror and you need our support.
Save as much clothes as you can. What you can't take, give to people in need. I know there's no safe space in Gaza, but stay safe. I'm very worried about all of you. Oh, and if you have any medicine left in the house, take it.
I pray for you, even though I'm an atheist. I pray for this to end, every day. May Allah continue to watch over you, give you strength and courage. Stay safe, sister.
The rest of the readers: PLEASE, DONATE. ๐๐
Harsh winter is coming, if you can, please help.
I'm constantly pointing out that the main problem of the USA and civil war is that bad people have weapons and good ones think they don't need it. That's why I wish you don't go to civil war. Too many good people would die and USA would become true redneck fascist state. We need and want good Americans on the planet. Who will solve this shit if not USA? But yes, my friends, arm yourself, your neighbors have tons of guns.
Oh, I've read just a title and left my wisdom in comments because I wanted to.
Balkan perspective here. You see, when you're 18, you can work. If you mean to be an adult and live with your parents, you should contribute. If you're a lazy fuck, your parents should kick you out, they're not responsible for you anymore. Me and my brother didn't pay rent, but as soon we hit adulthood and started to work, we started to financially help our mom to support her and we do it even now when we don't live with her anymore. I don't see anything wrong with this. In the end, this is just one of the ways you learn how to adult.
Those videos do look like a MK Ultra designed. Fake bullshit, created to make you stupid and convinced you have an enemy, while becoming someones.
Their bots on telegram are dm-ing fake videos of Hamas killing Palestinians, like, "they're animals, argh, see" and then you see the same person posting "Israel will fuck your mother and your children and I'm proud of it!". They're hitting on all the fronts.

I'm trying my best to spread the word, please, share it wherever you can.
Probably because all the organizators are from first or second world countries. They provide their own bank accounts and then send the money accordingly to the agreement they have with the families.
Thank you for sharing. โค๏ธ

Beautiful introduction to the discussion.
I would like to remind everyone of donating directly to the families in Gaza. Many, many of them have GoFundMe and similar campaigns where they ask us for help. They need money. Try to imagine being starved and trying to run for your life. Sick, injured and on top of that starved and to be under constant bombing running for your life or what's left of it. Money we send them is used for basic necessities us free people (as resistance calls us) don't even think about. So please, please, consider "adopting" a family and help them survive this hell.
There's a lot of discussion on how they even receive that money. They do, through merchants (war dogs) who have the cash, so they're also a money exchange, since they receive it from the sender (usually campaign organizer) on their bank account and pay out cash to the receivers, with very high provisions, 15-30%.
Aid by organisations, unfortunately, get stuck. I don't even want to go into the depths of corruption during the war, but every war is like that, brings out the worse in those who can use the situation to their benefit. Also, let's not forget that the criminal IOF is attacking aid trucks. A lot of Gazans told me most of the aid just doesn't come through. That's why direct donations are the best way to help.
I've just sent an eSIM to these kids https://youtube.com/@ahmed-and-mahmoud-days, so, where is a will, there's a way.
Hope you will join many of us and donate.
