I need everyone to pay attention and take this seriously. My Palestinian friend Nader, like many others, has had his tumblr account terminated six times in the span of only a couple of days. This is deliberate behavior by staff and its racist userbase who have spread the lie that Palestinian users are scammers, bots, and thieves "taking advantage" of "real suffering" despite years of verification and documentation from other Palestinian users on here. To say that this behavior is vile is an understatement.

I have been in correspondence with Nader for a couple of years now through WhatsApp and I can confirm that he is a real person in desperate need of support. WhatsApp has been vital to keeping us connected and informed, especially after this most recent wave of deletions. He is sadly, once again, fallen into despair because of staff's treatment of him. I made a promise to continue helping him and I don't want to let him down. He is a good, kind soul who only wants to do right by his loved ones and escape this hellish genocide. He is not asking for luxury.

For more detail, it is imperative to know that Nader is one of eight family members struggling to survive. Like many young Palestinians, he wanted to pursue higher education and the October 2023 attacks stopped this from happening. His father, Ahmed, is in desperate need of treatment for bladder cancer. This struck a cord with me because my mother is a bladder cancer survivor who is only alive today thanks to access to the appropriate medical care. Ahmed and the rest of Nader's family must be transported out of the country if there is any hope of survival.

Many tumblr users, both well-meaning and malicious and everything in between, have become indifferent to the ongoing situation in Gaza. Many feel helpless on how to help and are floundering for solutions. Others have thrown their hands in the air entirely. For some, they've taken it upon themselves to join in the ban waves and report Palestinians personally for the "crime" of tagging them too many times in posts.

I want to continue to be someone who helps even when it's hard and everything seems hopeless. For Palestinians, their continued survival depends on the kindness of strangers. There is no longer an infrastructure in place to help them. This is by design. It is up to us to do the very best we can to ease their suffering with coordinated donations and word of mouth.

I hope that there are still users on this site who want to do the right thing. I believe there are. I have seen it myself firsthand. Help me help Nader get the resources he needs to survive. I don't want to let him down.

You can still find his intact gofundme links as well as verification below.
