đ¨EMERGENCY:MIRAâS SITUATION IS NOW CRITICALđ¨
Yahya Bkheet (@yahyabkheet-blog) did not receive the funds he needed for Miraâs tumor removal surgery and treatment that he requested almost a month ago. She had to be hospitalized two days ago because of high fevers, so there is nothing Yahya can do now but wait.
He is waiting for the Rafah crossing to open so he can take his daughter out of Gaza, and with any luck, get her medical procedure done.The minimum amount required for travel, procedure and treatment is $10,000, yet he is not hopeful that his fundraiser will help at this point, as he has only been getting one or two donations a day.
We are now at âŹ7,394 / âŹ30,000and the last donation was over a day ago.
operation olive branch reporting former volunteers to the FBI?!
Where did you hear about this?
If this is true, this honestly pushes me to believe that my initial reticence towards the OOB - which led me to start doing my own verifications - were somewhat founded even if they were based only on speculation and skepticism.
I learned it from volunteers speaking out on tiktok.
Theyre talking about how a lot of gaslighting and toxic bureaucracy goes on within the core which is keeping aid from actually getting to Palestinians. If you demand accountability for the money and whatâs itâs being used for, youâre isolated, the families you help are not given aid At All in retaliation, or now youâre reported to the FBI I guess.
Tumblr is uploading one of the videos (since I know a lot of people donât have tiktok but still think you should be able to see this) and Iâll be uploading a few more.
Part 2 where the same user reads a statement clarifying they were reported for defamation of the core memberâs reputations among other âcyber crimes.â
Besides that theyâve been speaking out for awhile about the lack of ethics within OOB. so this here is a link to the organized playlist they made of each tiktok they made about it. Itâs 71 parts/videos.
Screenshot of the complaint that ChyGunn posted.
Since the links are bouncing, these are 3 of the 4 ex volunteers where I got my info
Chygunn is reading the complaint and has the OOB playlist. Their videos about being reported to the FBI are also labeled as such and theyâre also recent (within the last day) so you donât have to scroll forever to find them.
This user, acabforcutet, is another ex volunteer who confirms that almost everything chygunn has experienced was also true for her. as well as having a back and forth with someone else which amounts to a clear cut incident of being gaslit by OOB
Faith has posted about the way OOB treated her, families sheâs sponsored, and how OOB refused to address any concerns she brought up. Theyâre the vids with the red labels and yellow marks.
I did post a lot of these videos to my Tumblr for people without tiktok so theyâre all up now under #Operation Olive Branch if anyone wants to see them.
@el-shab-hussein i watched a few videos (thanks for linking them sibeblog side b!!) And Chy says the list of families is legit no matter what. Apparently OOB had donations to the org (?) Or something that they took for themselves but the list of families is separate from that. Hereâs the link where they said that:
Wanted to chime in that Iâve seen a tik tok from @ Clarke.Jones of her discussing the paying directly thing.
But also that OOB may not actually be a non profit organisation as theyâre calling themselves.
She states that as an American born organisation it should be monitored under the IRS (IRS Tax Empt Tool online) like other non profits like Heal Palestine.
She records herself doing the search and OOB isnât there. I just did the search myself and got nothing.
She also commented on one of OOBâs TikTokâs about their lack of nonprofit status and they basically called her a liar.
Iâm not the most knowledgeable about all that but I wanted to share.
She also did say that the list for the families is legit.
Actually, Iâll be the Bitter Black Betty and say it out loud: this isnât just Israelâs cruelty. There were still people with an enslaved Black woman that saw her life as worth so little that when it came down to it, they were willing to take an active role in her death- not just passively abandoning her to the bombs, but locking her in the house. Hawaâs death is not on the Zionist entity alone. Antiblackness in the midst of something so horrible should let you know just how bad it gets.
I was too nervous to say anything, but this has given me some confidence.
In the original french tweet itâs mentioned âelle travaillait comme une esclaveâ, there are a few ways to interpret this but none of them are good and i dont think the english quote tweet emphasises this.
You could either interpret this as âshe worked LIKE a slaveâ or she worked AS a slave", Based on the og tweet, it seems that her âemployersâ may not be the best descriptor of whoever she was working for. These people were cruel enough to leave her to die alone and I dont know why the english tweet chose the word employer im sorry
Quick correction, it states âelle travaillait comme esclaveâ, no âuneâ. There is only one interpretation of that statement. She worked as a slave, not like one. This is the reality of the Kaffala system.
If you are concerned for the rights and well-being of domestic workers in Lebanon, please support This Is Lebanon, an organization run by former domestic workers in Lebanon as well as Lebanese nationals, dedicated to naming and shaming this kind of horrendous mistreatment, and - frequently - anti-black violence.
Hey y'all, Mona posted an update for her mutual aid project on GoFundMe! Right now the priorities are winter clothing and food, please give whatever you can to this initiative!
Individuals fundraisers are still important but mutual aid funds such as these can help reach those who, for a variety of reasons, cannot get that help over the internet.
They’re on Twitter saying romanticizing and sexualizing sexual violence is all that Gothic horror is about and maybe Ellen wanted to be groomed and that it’s actually feminist to say women want to be raped. I fear there is no hope for women.
the assault is the horror, the rape and the ease with which men move and use her body is the horror, the tragedy of being unable to escape her trauma is the horror, giving her body over “consensually” to the monster whose haunted her her entire life is the tragedy and the horror. I think, what if we sat with things not being sexy but with things being horrifying while laced with sensuality. What if.
Now speaking as an Arab born in an Arab country whoâs grown up hearing about Arab politics my entire life, this is far from a good place to land. The military will almost certainly continue their fascist ways and people will still get killed. No talk of womenâs rights, no talk of an end to anti-blackness (which was serious enough for a genocide), no talk of restoring the Internet in these negotiations and discussions. This is still an awful situation for the Sudanese people and they are risking their lives, bodies, and mental health for their rights and their childrenâs rights. Please continue donating to their emergency medical aid gofundme. Itâs been six months and the money still hasnât been fully accumulated to meet their goal.
If you disagree with something I said or have something to add, I would gladly listen if you are Sudanese (particularly Black Sudanese) or come from another Arab and / or African country whoâs experienced something similar.
I posted this 4.5 years ago, beginning of July 2019. Iâm genuinely so fucking heartbroken to see that I was correct. I hate this so much.
If you live in the U.S. or Europe please donate to SAPA (Sudanese-American Physicians Association) since your currencies are some of the strongest.
