Bisan brings up an excellent point about disabled Palestinians. Palestinian liberation is a climate, racism all problems. It is everyone’s business.
Video transcription (includes sign language part):
[Text says "People with disabilities in the Bombing"]
Bisan: Hey everyone. Have you ever thought about the people with disabilities in Gaza? I mean those people with disability in the hearing. How can they hear the bombings and just escape? Those who cannot move, those who cannot see the road in front of them, how can they escape? How can they just survive this? Okay, so during the past few days, I've been hearing more and more stories. One of them was on X (Twitter) and a girl was talking about an old woman. She was blind and she was killed during a bombing on the neighbourhood that they're living in. And another friend yesterday --he's deaf-- and he was talking about those people who were killed. Some of his neighbours were killed because they did not hear the soldiers, the Israeli soldiers, warning them. So, yeah. No one is safe in Gaza. You can just see the video of this friend, and I'll be translating his signs.
[Video cuts to a man speaking in sign language.]
Hello everyone. Hope you're doing well. I know people from the deaf community. They were displaced at to Khaleefa school in Jabalia - North of Gaza. They were three - and they were all killed! The Israeli soldiers told them to stop while they were escaping! But they didn't hear, so they shot and killed them! [Man shows his phone with a picture of the three boys in it on the right.
There's arabic text on the left that translates to
"The deaf martyrs, may God have mercy on them,
Lord of Paradise
(translated with Google
Translate) and below the text is a bia

"Please tag the feminists and feminist institutions in this story."
The martyr May Gamal Mustafa, 35 years old.
May was a feminist researcher who worked on various issues concerning women in Egypt, providing support to them throughout her artistic career in the fields of feminism and social work.
May attempted to return to Egypt through the Rafah crossing but was unsuccessful.
On November 2, 2023, the house where May and her family resided in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza was targeted in an Israeli airstrike, leading to her martyrdom along with her family.
Her colleagues mourned her on social media platforms, saying, "Today, we lost an impactful individual in this cruel world. From her, we witnessed nothing but respect, appreciation, and love for everyone."
"Farewell, May, farewell to humanity."

getting in touch with student unions and holding protests to cut ties with universities in isr*el is a great way to take action for anyone in college!
whenever i try to tell my friends to do things they always say “oh well i’m sure someone else will get around to it”. THEY ARENT RIGHT NOW! DO SOMETHING!
talk to your student unions and hold a walkout at your school! put up flyers! ask your family and friends to donate! tell your friends what’s happening even if it’s uncomfortable! speak up, anything and everything counts!
the fact that Israel can precisely target ONE apartment in an entire residential block in BEIRUT to kill two hamas leaders, proves once again that they CHOSE to carpet-bomb Gaza and murder 31.000 Palestinians to "defend themselves" against Hamas. Israel CHOSE to kill civilians, they CHOSE to bomb every hospital, every school, every refugee camp, every residential block. israel does NOTHING to spare the lives of palestinians, they want to thin out the population of gaza so they'd be able to settle their citizens there.
this is a genocide it's an ethnical cleansing PLEASE WAKE UP don't stop talking about Palestine it is not a trend, people are still dying, Israel has no plan to stop if WE don't force it to, through public pressure and protesting and boycotting. it's the least we can do.
Isreal is trying to force the world to move on from its disproven atrocity propaganda, and we should never allow it to do so.
Keep reminding the world.
Name the lairs.

“Israel murdered a bunch of helpless civilians today, but don’t worry. They managed to destroy a Hamas leader’s apartment in the process.”
Absolutely sickening how the mainstream media is normalizing a literal genocide.

PSA for fellow USAmericans: Congress is vital for freeing Palestine! Call your reps and spread the word!
here in the us we tend to think that the president is the end-all be-all of executive power, but the truth is congress holds a LOT of power, and it’s even called the “most important branch”. congressional elections are often overlooked in favor of presidential elections but its vital to vote in them and call your reps!

I'm sorry if you're tired of thinking about ofmd and that whole mess but goddamn... it's incredibly painful to see so many people trying to set up fundraisers to get their families out of gaza and the sudan and desperately trying to get their loved ones to safety, I've seen so many and everyday I check to see how much progress they've made, most of them still haven't hit their goal. It hurts to see people rally around a tv show and raise all this money for a billboard, and it's very frustrating to see how people have reacted to this criticism. Like bro tv shows get canceled sometimes there's more important stuff going on
Someone else said it better but to see a fundraiser for tv show renewal advertisements raise $20,000 in less than a day while it takes days/weeks/months/years/never for fundraisers for actual causes that help real people in need reach a goal of less is absolutely dystopian and shameful
donating to big charities often means your donations get lost. direct donations to people on the ground often has a lot more tangible impact!!
There's one charity that I haven't seen shared here personally, and that's Care for Gaza.
They're shared a lot on twitter as a reputable on-the-ground relief source. You can donate to their gofundme to help their efforts here.
The strike is up but we're not done until Palestine is free

^ Care for Gaza are a small on-the-ground team that provides direct aid! i’d most recommend donating to them because big charities often can’t get donations to directly reach affected areas
Israel has bombed—and completely demolished—the Great Omari Mosque in Gaza, which is the second oldest mosque in Palestine. There was no purpose to bombing it. There was no advantage to targeting it. Israel simply destroyed it to make a statement: that Palestinian religion and culture not only mean nothing to them, but are something they’re actively working on wiping out. This was one of Palestine’s most sacred cultural sites. Now it’ll forever serve as proof of the horrifying death and destruction the world has allowed to befall Palestine.
