What You Didn't Know You Didn't Know

This doesn't mean the tide is turning on public perception. Instead, it just means that the specific aim of propaganda used to justify these conditions is shifting.

Netanyahu denies outright the widespread starvation, and Trump meanwhile acknowledges starvation but blames Palestinians and argues for more US "food centers" in Gaza. These two discourses are happening concurrently while the the US and Israel are working together to block actual aid from reaching Gazans and funneling everyone into GHF death traps.

GHF is run by a longtime agent of US imperialism and a prominent evangelical christian zionist, and these "aid" sites are staffed by privately contracted mercenaries. They are located near Israeli military posts. Every single day these sites are used to massacre starving people.

Pay attention. There is no real disagreement happening. There are many forms of genocide denial, and many forms of genocidal propaganda.

If someone claims to be opposing Israel's genocide of Palestine but they do not oppose the colonization of Palestine, they do not support a free Palestine. If people will argue for aid and ceasefire, but will not argue for the right to return and for the abolition of Israel as a settler-colonial state, they do not support a free Palestine.

Messaging that objects to the current moment without recognition of the structural context is normalizing propaganda. This functions as an international pressure valve, allowing the global north to maintain an illusion of moral authority and to scale back to tactics of genocide just beneath whatever drew international attention. They present themselves to the "solution" of the atrocities produced by their control.

One cannot sincerely oppose genocide without opposing settler-colonialism. Settler-colonialism is inseparable from genocide in its goals, practices, and ideological justifications.

Yesterday the occupation cut off the water to his entire area. The global humanitarian nutrition advisor for CARE, an international humanitarian organization fighting global poverty and hunger explained: "We have seen, from case studies of starvation, that it takes up to 60 days before the body fully shuts down if the person has access to water. If you don’t have access to water, you can die as quickly as three to five days."

Israel bombed the infrastructure center and the sewage and wastewater destroyed their family's already dilapidated tent. They desperately need to buy a new tent and to get access to water as soon as possible.

Adding insult to injury, tumblr recently deleted Ahmed's blog. His new blog is @ahmedaldaniii and his fundraiser has been vetted by @gazavetters, number 198 on the list.

Please, this is an urgent request! Donate to Ahmed's family.

To anyone who has ever felt sorrow upon hearing about hunger, or seeing a child with no food —

I write to you with a heavy heart, full of sadness and helplessness.

The last donation I received was four days ago — only $20. Since then, nothing has come.

The situation is unbearable. Prices are still burning high, and the markets are almost empty. Even when food is available, it’s far beyond what we can afford.

It’s been four days now — four long, painful days — that my family and I (my mother, my father, all of us) have gone without any real food.

We try to stay strong, to convince our hunger that we’re tougher than it… but hunger wins every time.

Can anyone truly imagine what this feels like?

To see your loved ones hungry?

To look into your mother’s eyes and know you have nothing to offer her — not even a piece of bread?

I didn’t write this to seek pity, but to cry out with a voice that often goes unheard:

We are still here… but slowly, we are disappearing.

Please, don’t forget us. Don’t turn your back on those who still cling to their humanity.

If you’re able to donate, your help could mean survival for us.

And if you can’t, please share my story on your pages — maybe it will reach someone who can make a difference.

I lost about 25 kilos of my weight due to lack of food and malnutrition in our bodies ‼️😔

The famine is real. The suffering is deep.

Please help him by donating to his family's fundraiser, so that they can buy food when it arrives on the market. Thank you. ❤️

I understood why he wasn’t eating.

Stop the genocide. Lift the siege. Feed the hungry. Shelter the unhoused. Heal the hurt and ill.

End the occupation.

These past days have been harsh, but it is dignity and patience that have truly kept me going. Hardship has not broken me and by God’s grace, it never will.

This cannot go on. This needs to end, so the people in Gaza can have peace, food, water, housing, and their health and dignity back.

Pressure your governments, share fundraisers, donate when you can.

In what world is it normal for a person to have to go for 7 days without food? Please, please, please support them in this incredibly difficult time!

You can get a postcard after you donate!

The about-face you're seeing right now is calculated. Liberal Zionists are seeing the mainstream media (finally, after almost 2 years) put out the pictures of starving children that they were happy to ignore last year.

Children were starving to death in Gaza in 2023 and 2024. If these people cared, they would have spoken up then.

These people were nowhere to be found on October 8 and they still wouldn't be here if the tide hadn't shifted in the liberal west.

عائلتي وأطفالي من أربع ايام لم نأكل أي طعام، واقوم بخلط الملح بالماء واشربهم لكي ما يموتوا، حسوا بنا وساعدونا عبر الباي بال رجاءا اقفوا معنا.

Oh people, oh Muslims, to everyone who reads my message, we are dying of hunger and there is no food, and if there is, it is very expensive, and I do not have money to buy food.

My family and children haven't eaten anything for four days. I mix salt with water and give them water to drink so they don't die. Please feel for us and help us via PayPal. Please stand with us.

@el-shab-hussein

I wish I could wish him a happy birthday without it sounding hollow, because right now, there is no way for him to have a happy birthday -- that was taken from him by the occupation and the genocide and the blockade.

Instead I can only wish for things to get better, and that his next birthday is somewhere safe, where he can feel unburdened and happy.

It would mean the world if you could please check out his fundraiser and donate if you can. Consider it a birthday gift to him. And if you could also reblog and wish him well, I'm sure it would also mean a lot to him to see so many people's positivity and love.

My mother lost 27 kilos of weight due to starvation as well.

Help Nour's family

Help Karim's family

Your donation in an urgent form gives me a day of patience for hunger 😔💔

All the days of Gaza are difficult, but today is exceptionally difficult, famine and the Zakim massacre, both remind us, with the twig of our hearts, how this world with all its components dares to be satisfied and accepted to leave this fate so simply‼️

Here I am going with my feet and I know that I am 90% of my chances, me and my family, that I will not return home in peace, but the bitter hunger that eats me, my family and everyone in general, we can't sit idly by in the lack of food and money to feed children. I hope every free and honorable person understands the matter. I go to this trap of death and hunger to embarrass me from asking for help, but I don't know if your conscience will wake up after seeing me and I want to execute myself in this death trap.

This is the second Ramadan that comes upon us when we are no longer who we used to be. Our lives are no longer the same, and we no longer feel the desire to celebrate as we once did.

But we have not lost hope and never will. We will reclaim our lives, regain our happiness, and once again celebrate Ramadan, Eid, and all the beautiful occasions.

Ramadan is an opportunity for solidarity, support, and doing good. Support us as much as you can during this blessed month. Support us so we can heal and rise again.

Not long ago, I lost my father, Yousef AlHajjar, who was killed in an airstrike by the occupation.

He spent his life trying to protect us and provide for us, despite the extremely harsh conditions.

He was a strong, kind man. But in this war, no one is truly safe and now, he is gone.

Since that painful day, I became fully responsible for my mother and younger siblings.

Life in Gaza has become almost impossible. There’s no work, no safety, and at times, not even a piece of bread to eat.

I’m a young man, just starting my life, and I used to have dreams like any other person.

I loved roller skating and I dreamed of becoming good at it, maybe even joining competitions.

But the war stopped everything even dreams.

Today, my only concern is how to feed my family and help them survive with dignity.

I have no job, no income, no home nothing but my faith in God, and hope in your kind hearts.

After more than 600 days of war, patience, and pain, I finally decided to ask for help.

I’m not asking for much just the basics to survive.

Even a small donation could make a difference in our lives.

And if you can’t donate, please share my story. Maybe it will reach someone who can help.

I am Hamed, the son of the martyr Yousef AlHajjar…

And I’m still standing for my family, and for the dreams that still live inside me.

protests are no longer effective. there must be a loud, consistent, and coordinated response to the continued policy of collective punishment. because 85% of Gazzans are malnourished. these people will die if we don’t take real action NOW.

what is also important is to keep assisting palestinians in gaza via donating to their campaign. the $ is still used in various ways whether that be for sourcing scarce medical supplies, water, future evacuation, etc. support @blackeagleplog’s, my dear friend mohammed who’s become his family’s sole provider at 23 years old, campaign here. he’s been severely weakened by hunger & told me today he’s only ate lentils once.

Mohammed is a vetter for @/gaza-evacuation-funds, who has also worked on this list for them

A family consisting of 11 people 3 days without food ‼️

I am Mahmoud Zaatar.

I live in a small tent with my family: my mother, my father, my little sister, my brother Mohammed with his wife and daughter, and my brother Hussein with his wife and three children.

We are ten souls who share the pain of life under a roof of cloth that does not protect us from cold or heat.

I am writing to you now, my heart is burdened with hunger, and my body is exhausted from lack of food.

We haven't eaten anything for three days except water and salt...

Yes, only water and salt.

My mother's weak voice, my father's silent moaning, my little sister's crying, and the children's hunger...

They are all voices that penetrate the heart, but they can't find anyone to hear them.

Today I stand on the verge of helplessness, not because we don't want to work, but because we don't even have the price of a loaf.

The price of a bag of flour reached £500 before the commission, which is a distant dream for us.

I don't ask for anything much, just give us a hand that helps us, saves us from hunger, and keep us alive.

Every donation, no matter how simple, may save an entire family from hunger

Help us. Don't be late.

We can't tand it anymore
