I Want You To Imagine Yourself, Fifty Years From Now, Sitting With Your Grandchildren. Imagine Them Asking

I want you to imagine yourself, fifty years from now, sitting with your grandchildren. Imagine them asking you “what did you do during the Gazan Genocide?” What will you say? Will you say “I did nothing?” Will you say “I did what I could?” By donating to this fundraiser, you will be able to say “I saved a man from cancer.” I’m sure many of you have seen the fundraiser for @mohiy-gaza2 . What you might not know is that Mohiy himself is very sick. He told me himself that he recently had an MRI to diagnose a tumor in his pancreas, and now needs surgery to remove his spleen. Dealing with these illnesses is difficult enough for those of us lucky enough to live in peaceful countries; in a warzone Mohiy’s task is nothing short of horrific. I know pancreatic cancer is a difficult disease, but with our help, I believe Mohiy can beat it.

I know there are other fundraisers on your dash. I’m sure your bank accounts are already low from the donations you’ve already made. All I can do is beg you, from the bottom of my heart: help Mohiy and his family. I’ve already donated; please find it in your heart to donate whatever you can. To quote Mohiy himself:

Thank you for reading this. I know Mohiy and his family are grateful for anything you can give.

It was actually vetted by BBC (yes I know we don't like BBC) and they've also done a few pieces about him and his family in 2021, after Israel bombed Gaza for 11 days straight.

hi! i want to take a moment today to spotlight the campaign of another friend who's been so gracious as to share his story with me.

Hazem Tannera (@hazemfromgaza) was able to evacuate to Egypt several months ago, but in a heartbreaking decision prompted by lack of funds, he was forced to leave his beloved family of ten behind in devastated Gaza. facing constant danger and deprivation, they are now struggling to survive, as well as provide for three young children.

Hazem is doing all he can to collect enough money (£80,000) for them to join him in Egypt, but his campaign is progressing slowly, and he has only managed to raise a little over £6,000. this is barely enough to evacuate one adult, and he is responsible for seven, plus three children. The crossing fees alone for the whole group amount to ~£43,500, and it's likely that this estimate is on the lower side, given that it was made before the border closed and prices have almost certainly increased since then.

on top of all this, Hazem recently found out that he is suffering from a tumor on his pituitary gland and will have to undergo treatment to remove it. he is afraid that if anything goes wrong, his family will be left stranded without a lifeline or hope of escape from the genocide.

"I do not want my life to end without my family's help," Hazem said to me over messages the other day. during this difficult time, he should be able to focus on recovering and not fear that his family will be killed, once again face displacement, or be left alone without support.

if you have the means, please donate to help Hazem save his family. if this isn't something you can do (or even if it is), then please share this post or one of Hazem's instead and encourage others to do the same. let's get Hazem and the rest of the Tannera family to their goal as quickly as possible!

award-winning palestinian children's illustrator baraa awoor writes:

"what use is it to be an illustrator of children's books when the world has sentenced the children of your country to the death penalty, to vanish, to genocide?"

some of baraa's illustrations:

this is an illustration for youssef, whose mother is remembered running desperately into the hospital asking if anyone had seen a "small white boy with beautiful curly hair, his name is youssef," a description which was remembered by millions when she finally identified his body:

this illustration is for young omar, who was hugging his little brother and teaching him how to repeat the shahada after him (a prayer spoken by muslims before their death) as he lay on his hospital bed:

"we want a new year that doesn't kill us or our children, we want it a year without blood, without screaming, without pain, we want a new attempt to get our lives back, or something that resembled our life, even if life is a lie we still cling to it, return life to us—a new year's card unlike any other year:"

Lmao they deleted it

it's been a while since since I first saw Ola's fundraiser circulating on the dash. it's been a while, too, since I spoke to Ola for the first time, and a while since I last made a post to bring attention to her fundraiser. in the last post I wrote for Ola I spoke of my dismay at the ratio of notes on one of her most widely circulating fundraising posts to donations her fundraiser has received (the former being disturbingly higher than the latter).

I'm having a version of that experience again now. I'm looking at Ola's gofundme page in something like disbelief. Ola's fundraiser should be further along than it is. we're approaching the point where it will have been a year of constant bombardment and displacement and threat of every imaginable kind to Ola and her family, and her fundraiser isn't far beyond the halfway point.

Ola and her family need money not only to escape this situation, but also to survive it. the weather is growing worse, food prices are still sky high, and there is danger every moment. i watched a video the other day which made the point that solidarity is not supposed to be easy - it's not just one click (though that one click is also vital in situations like these) but rather a commitment to go out of your way to help when necessary. your help is necessary here. share Ola's fundraiser as much as you possibly can, but please also remember to give whatever you have the means to give.

here's a link to Ola's gofundme / here's a link to Ola's verification (line 205).
