this is a non exhaustive resource. violence, oppression and genocide towards minority groups is widespread and ongoing, and not limited to these groups or resources. remaining uneducated is a choice, and an inexcusable one to make. the same systems used to oppress and kill ethnic groups across the world can be used on you, too.

if i have misspoken or added something that should not be here or is problematic, please let me know in the notes. please also feel free to make your own additions to this post.

2. @riding-with-the-wild-hunt HERE.

3. My latest blog titled "Traumatized in Ireland While my Family is Facing Death and Starvation in Gaza" shared widely HERE

The short video will give you a quick glimpse of my story: 1. A young university lecturer in Gaza

2. Then displaced with my family and losing our house

3. Then traveled to Ireland to study and try to support and evacuate my family.

Every night I sleep in Ireland while my family sleeps under bombardment face starvation, fear and the cold of winter in tents.

People sleep to rest. I sleep to see nightmares.

Every night feels like a horror movie I must live, not watch. I wake up tired, shaken, and broken by the images my mind creates.

I had an amazing stable life with my family in Gaza before the war turned our world upside down.

I was a young, ambitious lecturer at the Islamic University of Gaza, teaching English and linguistics. I loved to motivate and empower my students so they can reach their full potential.

When the war broke out, I was displacement with my family multiple times in places I did not know existed in the Gaza Strip. Sometimes we literally ran for our lives under heavy bombardment and learned what a near-death experience actually meant.

Five months into the war, my Irish university managed to get me out of Gaza. Ever since I evacuated and left my entire family in Gaza (parents, siblings, nephews, nieces), I woke up every day so tired from horrible horrible horrible nightmares, wishing to end my life.

But then I remember: If I give up, who will help my family survive? Who will help me get them out when the crossing opens again?

I saw the constant bombardment every day live in the news, and my family was dispersed in different places in the Gaza Strip, running for their lives, struggling to survive.

The misery and suffering continue until today after we lost our house and the cold of winter if freezing them all, especially my elderly parents and young nephews and nieces.

HOWEVER...

Hard times do not only create strong people; they also reveal the goodness and humanity in others. And Gaza needs the world’s goodness now more than ever.

My family lost their home. They now live in tents, shivering in the cold. Rainwater enters every time it rains. They have no electricity, no clean water, no cooking gas, and no safety. Survival itself has become a battle.

I have been dedicating all my efforts to helping my family survive in the current situation in Gaza and apply for reunification visas with the support of my college and friends here in Ireland.

Every single member of my family counts the seconds until the day we all reunify in Ireland and live a safe, normal life like we have been dreaming for more than two years

This can only be possible with your kindness, support and humanity.

Please consider donating if you can, share our story, reblog our post, and amplify our voice. You have no idea how much you can help in getting my family out of the living hell of Gaza to safety.

When the world becomes numb to Palestinian suffering, please choose not to turn away.

Please 'follow' me to stay updated!

Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring.

My family in Gaza lives in fear every day. They’ve lost their home, their safety, almost everything — but not their hope.

There may finally be a way out through Egypt, a chance to survive and reunite with me in Ireland. We are so close.

All we want is to be safe together. If you can donate or share, you are helping turn hope into escape. Thank you 🤍

Vetting and donation Rewards!

Abdallah has been trying for over a year to raise funds needed to survive in Gaza, and has had many setbacks. He has been verified by multiple trusted sources:

He was vetted by MohAyesh, the vetter for gaza-evacuation-funds. You will find his gogetfunding campaign and PayPal linked on their spreadsheet at #315. Here is a link to a post by Abdallah sharing those two links, proving the verification is legit.

He was vetted by 90-ghost, who shared his post with the gogetfunding campaign and PayPal link, his post with his ko-fi link and gfm campaign (a post that can also still be found on Abdallah's profile), and lastly, one of his recent posts with the chuffed link he is now asking us to donate to

Abdallah is still in need of help, because food is still extremely expensive in Gaza. Please, if you are able, donate to either his ko-fi or his chuffed campaign; and share this post!

Donation Rewards I keep an updated list of raffles and commission offers here

Art and other rewards being offered for those who have proof of donation (such as a screenshot of receipt, probably with personal information blacked out) to the well-known vetting lists and a few other. I have collected an up-to-date list here. There is also links to other lists: for such as flowerpawarts's spreadsheet, you should make sure they accept the vetting list or are not just funding for a specific family

Volunteer your time (under the cut)

ICE agents are cruising areas with immigrant-owned businesses, and kidnapping patrons and employees alike. Yesterday they abducted two US citizen employees at a suburban Target, one who was begging them to allow him to go get his passport to show them.

ICE is going door to door in immigrant-heavy neighborhoods, asking residents where their immigrant neighbors live. Read that again. If it sounds like something out of your high school history textbook, that’s because it is.

ICE is targeting schools and school buses. They pepper sprayed teenagers and abducted two school staff members at the high school up the street from me on Wednesday. Police are literally escorting school buses to ensure children can get to school and home safely. The Minneapolis Public Schools have moved to virtual learning for the next 4 weeks because it’s unsafe for children or teachers to physically come to school.

They are targeting hospitals and clinics. Patients are scared and are cancelling their appointments or just not showing up. Kids are missing their checkups and vaccines, folks aren’t getting their cancer care, etc.

They are smashing windows in cars and homes.

ICE is increasingly picking up Native Americans—again, targeting folks based on skin color alone.

They are arresting and beating legal observers. A friend of a friend had her arm broken yesterday. Folks are showing up at local hospitals, brought in in ICE custody, with severe injuries that are absolutely inconsistent with mechanism of injury reported by ICE. (Think: patient appears to have been beaten unconscious, while ICE agent says he slipped and fell.) I can’t emphasize enough that these ICE agents do not have warrants. There are 2,000+ agents here and they are simply hunting for anyone that’s not white. It doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen or a green card holder, they will kidnap you first and ask questions later. But the community is fighting back.

Protests are happening every day.

Community groups have been leading know-your-rights sessions for months, often to packed venues.

Whistles are being distributed by the thousands, carried on keychains and worn on coat zippers, always at the ready to be blown in warning if ICE is spotted.

Drivers are following ICE vehicles, blaring their horns in warning.

Businesses are locking their doors even while open to keep employees and customers safe. As I type this, I’m standing guard at the locked door of our neighborhood burrito joint while I wait for my takeout order, so the employees can focus on their jobs. The place is packed with neighbors supporting this small business.

Anti-ICE signs are posted everywhere. The community is making it crystal clear that ICE is not welcome here.

Parents and neighbors are standing guard outside schools, organizing carpools, and escorting kids to and from school on foot.

Parents of kids in Spanish-immersion daycare (there are a LOT of these daycares here!) are keeping their kids home so the teachers don’t have to take the risk of coming to work.

Churches and community groups are holding fundraisers to buy and deliver groceries to families who don’t feel safe leaving home.

His bleeding wound tells a story of pain that no heart can bear, yet we have only raised $390 out of $40,000 to save him, Jan 5, 2025.

Have children's lives become this cheap?

These are not just numbers... This is a child's life, a family's hope, and a cry for help waiting to be answered.

Please... help Ibrahim get the treatment he desperately needs.

Donate today and be the reason for bringing hope and a smile to his innocent face.

I am Mohammad Alkhadi, Preparing for New Life Amid Hardship

In Gaza, where life is harsh and conditions are tough, we cling to any glimpse of hope that restores a taste of happiness. Amid our daily struggles with cold and hunger, I received news that changed my life and brought a mix of joy and fear. My wife, my partner in this ongoing battle, is pregnant!

When she told me, I felt a whirlwind of emotions. There was overwhelming happiness—a new child will come to fill our lives with fresh hope. His small laughs might ease the weight of our pain. At the same time, fear gripped me. How can I protect this new life? How can I provide a decent life for him when I can barely shield my other children?

Every night, I sit next to my wife, watching her belly grow, imagining this child. I see him laughing, playing, calling me "Dad." Yet, amidst these beautiful images, reality reminds me of my struggles: our tent battered by the wind, rain seeping through, and the cold freezing us to the bone. What kind of beginning will this child have in such a harsh world?

Despite everything, I decided to hold on to hope. My children see me as their pillar of strength, and my wife needs my support now more than ever. I try to appear strong for them, but inside, I am searching for a helping hand, a beacon of hope that assures me tomorrow will be better.

That is why I reach out to you today—to those with compassionate hearts, to those who believe humanity knows no borders. We need your help to welcome this new child. We need a tent to shelter us, warm clothes to protect us from the cold, and food to nourish our bodies, weary from hunger.

My upcoming child carries new hope within, and I want to welcome him with dignity. I want him to see that the world isn’t all harshness and that there are those who extend their hands to the weak. You are our hope; you are the ones who can ease our lives and restore the safety we desperately need.

Help us welcome this child with dignity and be part of this story that we pray will have a happy ending.

Dear kind-hearted donors,

We are reaching out to you with an urgent plea for help. My family and I, living in Gaza, are facing an unbearable winter. Our tent, the only shelter we had, has been destroyed by the harsh winds and relentless rain. We are now exposed to the freezing cold, struggling to keep our children warm and safe.

With a new baby on the way, our situation has become even more desperate. We are in dire need of a new tent, warm clothes, and basic necessities to survive this harsh season.

Your generosity could be the difference between life and unimaginable suffering for us. Please, take a moment to read our story and extend your support. Even the smallest contribution can bring warmth, hope, and dignity to our family.

Together, we can face this hardship and keep hope alive.

Very recently Ayah has had to remake their fundraiser, which they've been relying on to afford food and supplies to survive this harsh year of genocide. Going into the winter, Ayah needs your help!~

Having to remake the fundraiser means that now they are very low on funds. They are receiving hardly any donations on their fundraiser, and their lives are depending on it.

Not only this, but during this year, Ayah and her family have not been able to save any money to leave through the border once it opens. They have had to use every cent on food and supplies.

It's so important to reblog and donate what you can to support this family. If even half of my followers were able to donate just a small amount to this fundraiser, we could reach €2000! Please consider donating if you can, and if you cannot, please make sure this reaches someone who can donate to this family!

Help me advocate for Ayah's family. Please follow @ayo0osh and engage with her posts, talk about her family on your own blogs. Every bit can help.

in the last 24h the fundraiser gained €130. Please let's keep that momentum and try to get Ayahs fundraiser to €2000!
