Hey uhm hot take that shouldn’t be hot:
Traumatizing yourself does not count as awareness for a cause.
Yes, don’t ignore it, but don’t doomscroll and purposely go out of your way to look at literal massacred children or self immolation or other carnage and what-have-you, then do nothing about it except reshare it and gush about how it gave you panic attacks and nightmares for the next week.
You’re not helping. You’re turning a fucking genocide into shock content to fuel your white savior complex.
It could’ve happened to YOU had you been born in the wrong place at the wrong time, too.
Have some respect.
people often cite concerns about aid donations to gaza somehow benefiting hamas. this is why i always recommend donating to anera.
anera addresses this concern on their FAQ page.
how i understand it - anera procures aid and then organizes and distributes it. i mean, if you're concerned about aid distribution in gaza, this is exactly who you should be donating to.
they keep a daily log of all of their activities.
they post videos of their activities
and they are vetted by charity navigator, charity watch, better business bureau, and candid.
I highly recommend checking their gaza faq
and their donation page for gaza.
