how do i get it back?

My friend Sami has a large, wonderful family with several young children trying to survive in the strip -- which becomes more and more frightening as winter approaches. Please, please consider donating to their fundraiser here. Their original fundraiser was taken down, and they desperately need the help. If you can't, I ask you share their link around. Thank you so, so much.

Please pray for him.

So many people from the global north on this website (including the ones who quickly distanced themselves from liberals like ContraPoints), still cling to this unfounded belief in their own supposed powerlessness.

You are not powerless. Your decisions matter and have tangible impact on other people. You are in this world with the rest of us. Whether you want to accept responsibility for your behavior or not, it still meaningfully influences other people's lives.

Take stock of your actual, current impact. What are you already spending your days doing? How can you use your daily life to oppose genocide in Palestine?

Do you realize how much that tangibly improved his life last week?

He told me that he was able to buy flour and eat bread after previously having none for over a week. He was able to get painkillers and experience some small relief from his constant pain.

Your decision whether or not to donate (or whether or not to encourage other people to donate) is power. You are actually very powerful, and your decisions have a big influence on his family's life. You are deciding how to use that power right now.

It is a blessing that we have the ability to relieve others' pain.

Send some money to Fadel and know you are using what power you have to help someone. You are a lifeline.

Her poor mother has lost 27 kilos due to starvation and her father has lost more than 15 due to the famine. Osteoporosis treatment requires a healthy diet, and the Balousha family can not eat.

@mahrahpalestine is her url for vetting proof!!

I am hosting this campaign! The funds you donate are transferred directly to the Balousha family by myself and an irl coworker. Thank you!

They don't care if you're a child.

They don't care if you're running for food.

They don't care if you're standing in your own home.

We count bodies. You scroll past.

donations for marah have significantly slowed down! the balousha family is famished, exhausted, depressed, and desperate. i care about them deeply and i hope that you're able to share this post and spare a dollar or two! :)

I am hosting this campaign !! The money you have all helped raise for this family has kept them alive through this nightmare - please continue to share and donate if you can!
