Palestine

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

Shireen and I became friends two or three months ago when I started to help her family and since then we're talking almost daily. She had a lot of problems setting up a campaign on GoFundMe and kissed a lot of doors from charity organizations which gave her no reply, even though she provided all the required documentation (she even sent me her father's passport photo so I don't doubt her honesty).

Because of those obstacles, her family in Gaza received very few donations and relies on humanitarian aid, which is extremely scarse on the north because of the inhumane siege. Her friends and I help as much as we can, but for a young man with Down syndrome, her father that has sepsis and her diabetic mother it's simply not enough.

That's why I'm sharing her campaign she managed to set on SpotFund recently.

Please join me in helping her family. ๐Ÿ™

If you can, share her family's story on your social media accounts as well.

Thank you for your time and generosity.
