I feel like ive seen quite a few gfms getting passed around and ive observed that a lot of them have stories of such exceptional people who have achieved so much, or were going to before the genocide cut it off. And i really commend them for it, i really do.
But it breaks my heart that palestinians reaching out to us feel the need to have to prove that they are they are good people who are worth the support, like theyre only worth being supported if they had a good gpa or were exceptional in some way.
They shouldnt have to prove that theyre beneficial to the economy somehow to be worth the support. They shouldnt have to be exceptional to deserve help. Our governments are putting them through this, both in the west and around the world too. They shouldnt have to prove anything. We owe them this
Ok this got a lot of notes unexpectedly so gonna link a few fundraisers here of people who reached out to me.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT VET FUNDRAISERS. I COULDNT EVEN IF I WANTED TO AS I AM NOT PALESTINIAN.
