1990 - Nelson Mandela speaks about the ANC's support for the Palestinian fight for freedom from the Israeli occupation.

"As far as Yasser Arafat is concerned, I explained to Mr. Siegman that we identify with the PLO, because just like ourselves, they are fighting for the right of self-determination."

This interview was held a few months after Mandela was released from prison, where he had been locked away by the South African government for 27 years, for being one of the leaders of uMkhonto we Sizwe, the paramilitary wing of the ANC, which violently fought against the South African apartheid government.

Also consider Mikinakoos' as they're extending support beyond their traditional service areas due to the scale of this emergency!

Donations for Whitesand First Nation:

We’ve fought so hard to get this far, and now only $358 stands between my mother and the urgent heart procedure she needs 😔

If just 14 kind people donate $25, my mother can finally get one step closer to the urgent heart procedure she needs

I keep refreshing the fundraiser, hoping to see another donation, but nothing changes. Meanwhile, I return to the hospital and see my mother still waiting, still in pain, still asking me with her eyes for hope that I struggle to give.💔😔

I’m begging you with all my heart , Please… don’t tell yourself, “Someone else will donate.” What if everyone thinks the same way?

Be one of those 14 people. Your $25 may feel small to you, but to me, it could mean one step closer to hearing the words, “Your mother can finally have her procedure.”

Please don’t let our hope fade when we are so close. If you can’t donate, please share our story. Every act of kindness brings my mother closer to the treatment she desperately needs. 💔🙏

Please… be the reason I can tell my mother, “You’re finally going to get your operation.” 💔

It has been 3 years of genocide in Gaza, and people like my friend @mohdayesh are still trapped in Gaza with no escape from their treacherous daily life.

Mohammed's wife is pregnant and to this day dealing with the pain of having a bullet lodged in her chest. And Mohammed is bearing the responsibility of trying to keep his family taken care of to the best of his abilities with the limited resources he can get his hands on.

Mohammad and I often spoke of his desires to start a life for himself and his wife outside of the war zone, away from the genocide, where they can finally have a taste of safety and security. There is nothing more that I want than the ability to snap a finger and help him achieve their dreams, but unfortunately that's not within my power. All I can do is plead with you to help.

Mod'd is my friend and someone I've been working with for the past 3 years to ensure that you can trust where your money is going and weed out harmful actors taking advantage of the crisis in Gaza. And he has worked tirelessly to that end. He often doesn't ask for help for himself because he wants to see others thrive, but now he has a wife and a child on the way and he can't sit and watch as they suffer in this genocide.

He is trying to reach a preliminary goal of £3,000 on his gofundme, and has reached £2,046/£3,000 up until the time I'm writing this post.

But you can also help via his paypal!

And please share this post!!
