The war has finally ended after 471 days of pain, death, and suffering, where each day carried a weight equal to years. Today, with trembling hands and a heavy heart, I write: "Survivor of the 2023 Israeli genocide."
But this is not the end. It is the beginning. Today, we start to mend wounds that are not only visible but deeply felt in the soul. We begin to rebuild what was destroyed, not just the stones but the lives that bled and the memories that burned.
We need every helping hand, every heart in solidarity, and every voice to amplify our cause. Reviving life here is not a choice. It is an obligation we all share. Let us come together on this journey of healing and restoring hope.

Anonymous asked:
wait I know why we hate AIPAC but what did ADL do? I thought the anti defamation League was good
The ADL is an Israeli/Zionist advocacy group at its core. It's main priority as an organization is to protect Israel and its mission for a Jewish Ethno-State. This is especially true under Johnathan Greenblatt's leadership who has said "antizionism is antisemitism" It's easy to think that the "Anti Defamation League" has no underlying agenda given its history as a "civil rights organization" but it has constantly used that as a screen for extremely right wing positions on Israel. Some of their greatest hits include: Equating Students for Justice in Palestine, JVP, and CAIR to "white supremacists" simply because they strongly oppose an ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. A leaked ADL memo revealing how ADL plans to "soften" the news to Americans that Israel plans to annex the West Bank. (Source). In this leak Greenblatt recognizes that the annexation is a violation of basic human rights. To me this is a clear indication that they are less concerned with civil rights and more concerned with shaping the public image of Israel, especially in the US. Really urge you all to read this leak! Supported South African Apartheid (surprise surprise) and participated in propaganda against Nelson Mandela and the ANC. They even employed a spy named Roy Bullock to infiltrate the anti-apartheid campaign in the US. They later settled a law suit for this. (Source) That's not even close to the only time they've utilized spies. THIS recent leak of Greenblatt talks about ADL having spies in Jewish Voice for Peace and other organizations. It also talks about how they are having a hard time with the global youth no longer buying into their propaganda. Another source you should give your full attention to. PLEASE listen to that whole thing. It's truly terrifying. You're gonna hear them talk a lot about why Tiktok is a danger to their mission.
HERE is an article about how the ADL has a long history of smearing black activists, working with Police/ICE, and its attempts to demonize the BDS movement. I could go on and on about how terrible and deceitful the ADL is. The sources above are a good start to understanding why we shouldn't trust the ADL but please look into all the other things they've done like working with the FBI to spy on Arab Americans, infiltrating student organizations they find to be a threat to "Israel's image", surveillance, the people who fund/donate to them etc.
The best way to fight orgs like this is to share/spread this info as much as you can. It's clearly working because they're losing global support especially with the youth.
An important time to remember that the ADL's primary objective is to uphold Zionism

People returned to what was left of their homes, but all they found was rubble—scattered stones and memories buried beneath the wreckage. Some searched for their missing children, for the mother who was here before the ceiling collapsed, for a voice that once filled the place with life. Destruction is everywhere, and death has not yet left. It lingers, as if waiting to take more.
470 days of war, yet it has not ended. A new battle has begun—the battle to find shelter amidst the ruins, to find a morsel of food for starving children, to find medicine for those still suffering. Unexploded missiles litter the streets, a haunting reminder that danger is far from over. We live among the wreckage, sleep under the open sky, searching for a moment of safety that remains out of reach.

I want to remind you that there is no ceasefire in Sudan!
Despite the US putting a sanction on Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, who is the general leading the RSF (a paramilitary backed by the UAE), and Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the general for the Sudanese Armed Forced that is backed by Sudan's High Council, the genocide is still ongoing!
We need to do our part: Boycott, protest, and donate!
Please consider extending a helping hand to Eman Abdelrahman, @emiiii980, (#213)! She has been fundraising since January of last year to rebuild her home since the RSF has bombed it. But donations have slowed down significantly. Her fundraiser would stagnate often! In fact, as I write this, it has taken 6 days for her to receive 1 donation! So let's pick up the pace. How about we help her raise the short-term goal of 39K ASAP! 38,689 CHF has been raised. There is 311 CHF ($342 USD) left to go!
You can match me! I have given 5 CHF ($5.50 USD), but you're more than welcome to give more! And make sure to pay attention to the currency exchange. $10 USD = 9 CHF!

Can you imagine this?
Here, in Gaza, every time we find a place to rest, we are forced to flee again and live in tents, starting a new chapter of hardship. We’ve been living this way for over ten months, and the struggles we face daily are beyond words.
Imagine this: could you survive in such conditions? Facing constant challenges with no escape? Can you adapt to a life where every moment is a battle for survival?
"Please do not let us down. Extend a helping hand to support us. We are in desperate need of every bit of assistance from you."🙏🙏🙏

There is a story of Saint Maria of Paris that when, in occupied France, a Nazi solider approached her and asked her if she knew of any Jewish people she replied "Yes" and went and directed the solider to an icon of the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus.
So I think, if a govement officer approches you and asks you if you know of any illegal immigrants you too can do as the saint did then and direct them to an icon of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus.

🫂The story did not end, after a year and a half I was able to sleep a whole night without fear and without terror, me and my children in my small tent,
After a year and a half of killing and hunger, finally calm has prevailed everywhere. I hope the calm continues. We are very tired.
The story did not end, but another story and another war began, the war of returning home and trying to live above the destruction.
I hope you all participate and donate because everything I own has been destroyed and I hope to rebuild it with your help for me and my family. Please do not leave me. ♥️🫂🩹

Many people in the West Bank have been saying that once the bombs stopped dropping on Gaza, the IOF would turn its force onto them (more than it already has). It seems that this is exactly what is happening at this time. Please keep paying attention!

liberals are back to caring about deportations lol. pray tell where was that energy for biden?
ICE interment population doubled during biden's first 3 years. private prison use went from 80% to 90%. the biden administration kept centers open that its own oversight committee recommended for closure due to abusive conditions and safety risks to a lethal degree.
fr where was the 'kids in cages' energy??

On the second day of the ceasefire, I want to say that I’m very grateful to everyone who has helped my friends in Gaza. Nader’s (@abdalsalam2000) fundraiser has reached almost 88,000 euro, and is only 12,000 away from the final goal. He is a seventeen year old boy who is trying to save his family of eight, which includes his one year old niece Iman and his father Ahmed who suffers from cancer which is going untreated because of the genocide. They need to evacuate to get Ahmed the treatment he needs to survive. I’m very emotional and grateful for the help they’ve received, it means the world to their family and all the people who care about them. I think very often of the people who donated €1,000, that money makes more of a difference than I can put into words. I just want to say that your donations and your words matter intensely, you have the power to show these people that the world is listening and that we care and you want to help, and that can help keep hope up. They’ve suffered a lot, and continuing to ask for help is difficult. Please continue to give Nader and his family your support and share this post and donate. Your donations can be what saves them.
Thank you for getting them to 88,000! They now have €88,718 raised, only 1,288 to reach the next goal of 90,000!!❤️

‼️Helping me means helping 5 members of my family..‼️
🥶We're freezing🥶
Hello, I'm Wasim from Gaza, in Al-Mawasi specifically... My family and I were displaced from Rafah after hardship, bombing, displacement, and hunger.😭😔
Now we have been away from our city and our beautiful home for 9 months. We have lost our house that my father built stone by stone and he worked 24/7 to build this house. But the occupation destroyed it, and no house remained in my beautiful city remained intact.😭💔💔
We are now living in a tent or semi-tent, which does not protect us from the cold of winter or the rain. Our lives are very difficult.😔😭
Thanks to your donations, we have been able to buy food and flour, and now I am asking you for help to buy a tent that will protect us from the cold of winter. We do not know what it means to sleep because of the extreme cold.🥶
This is our tent made of fabric and some nylon, not closed on one side. We are freezing from the cold. Help us to buy a new tent. You are our last hope.😭🥶🥶🙏
I also want to ask for help for my mother, who is the most precious thing in my life. Without her, I am nothing...
She has a back cartilage disease and is in great pain. She needs physical therapy, medicine, and vitamins, and I am unable to provide them. Help my mother receive treatment.🙏🙏😭
