Vetted Palestinian Fundraisers

I read hers and her brother story when I was in middle school. I cried, till I had no more tears.

During that time we also had class discussions, homework, personal studies and thesis on books like “The White Rose” ( a book about Sophie and Christofer School and their movement, wrote by their family ), “A Bag full of Marbles” (the autobiography of a French Jewish kid escaping the nazi persecution), “If this is a Man” (the autobiography of a Italian Jewish man slaving in a concentration camp) and so many others.

Little me red this books so many times, striving to be the person that would have helped in those moments, believing that all the adults had also learned this lesson and that collectively we were striving for a better, more united future. All of that, NEVER AGAIN.

But now I see all of these people, those ““adults”” whom should know better, being the worst possibile insults to humanity I have ever seen.

But I still strive to be the person that will help. The one that will help student protest, that will help children despite different backgrounds, that will help men and women who are persecuted.

And they will never take this from me. Because I learned. Because I see.

And because I promise myself that it would never happen again.

Her beautiful, extraordinary diary is available on Internet Archive. It was a transformative read for me, and her legacy has inspired my activism so much. Reading it, you can't help but be stunned by the brilliance and ferocity of her mind, and moved by the photos of her and her friends, all so earnest and wise beyond their years.

I would be remiss if I let today go by without trying to make some good out of it. I carried this sign at the Boston rally yesterday in the hopes more people would be directed to mutual aid efforts for Gaza. The bottom Linktree is mine, linked below, and if you can afford to donate I entreat you to find an organization or family to support on a recurring basis. Thank you!

i don't wanna sound hopeless but i feel like so many of you don't care or have stopped caring about palestine.

the news of hospitals being bombed, children being massacred, people dying from the cold, and the famine spreading in gaza does not seem enough to grab attention or make people care.

what new tragedy needs to befall gaza for you to start talking about it? the occupation kills a child every few minutes. people are cold and are starving. refugee camps are being bombed with bombs that can level city blocks.

this all happens because of all of us. we are complicit in this genocide because our governments use the taxes we pay to send weapons to the occupation. weapons that are used to kill children and impose a blockade that is starving 2 million people.

the very fact that we're still going about our days when all of this is going on breaks my heart. especially because we have failed to stop our governments from using our money to arm israel.

i urge you, please be generous and donate to suad and her baby khaled. he is just six months old and suad is unable to find any formula for him. if she finds anything, it is extremely expensive. the baby also needs warm clothes and is suffering from a respiratory problem and needs a nebulizer.

please help suad and her baby boy
