Right now Israel's bombing Rafah, the last refuge for a million Palestinians, where they were previously ORDERED to evacuate to and are now trapped in while the US news cycle is dominated by Big Football Game And Celebrities In Attendance (at which Israel also aired a million dollar propaganda video). I wish I could say this is unbelievable.

free Palestine, but remember something
young chinese cambodian , says something important. If there is a true ceasefire, and the genocide against the gazan people ends, dont do that white people advocacy thing, and instantly stop paying attention to palestine. Rehabilitate please! After a genocide, the economy, education, the landscape is changed for so much worse. Notice how they bomb things like hospitals, schools, and universities? its to make recovering from this harder for gaza. Its happened before for people who've suffered from genocide, for once dont let it happen again. I hope that soon, gaza can escape literal hell, brought by israel

![[ID: If the olive trees knew the hands that planted them, their oil would become tears"
The olive tree has deep historical and cultural roots in Palestine, and its branches have been associated with peace and prosperity for centuries.
The hardy trees can handle drought, subzero temperatures, frost and even fire. They are symbolic of Palestinian resilience against Israeli occupation and their connection to the land.
Olive cultivation plays a crucial role in the Palestinian economy through olive oil, table olives and soap production.
About 80,000 to 100,000 Palestinian families rely on the olive harvest for their income, which takes place every year between October and November. Traditionally, the harvest season is a time of festivities and joy, but tight Israeli restrictions and settler attacks overshadow it.

![[ID: In 1948, Zionist military forces expelled at least 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands in what became known as the Nakba (βcatastropheβ in Arabic). Those people took their keys with them, sure they would return.
Many Palestinians still hold onto the keys to their original homes as a symbol of their hope and determination to return one day. These keys have been passed down several generations and are kept as a symbol of Palestiniansβ right to return β a principle enshrined in international law that grants individuals the right go back to their homes of origin.
During Israelβs latest offensive in Gaza, at least 1.5 million Palestinians have been driven out of their homes, double the number of those displaced during Nakba in 1948. For Palestinians, Nakba is not a discrete historical event. It is an ongoing process of displacement that has never stopped.

![[ID: Handala is a cartoon character created by Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali that reflects his own childhood refugee experience and the ongoing plight of Palestinians displaced by the Nakba.
The first version of the cartoon appeared in a Kuwaiti newspaper in 1969 and was drawn facing the viewer. However, in 1973 following the October War, al-Ali started drawing Handala with his back turned to reflect how the world had itself turned its back on the Palestinians.
Handala is barefoot and wears ragged clothes like the refugee camp children al-Ali remembers when he was forced to leave his village as a 10-year-old boy.
Handala is named after the βhandhalβ, a bitter fruit that grows in the dry areas of Palestine. It grows back when cut and has deep roots.
In 1987, Naji al-Ali was assassinated in London. No one has been charged with his murder. END ID]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1bd0a008be03cff84baa078bbf303806/68d6ff8b90c60403-0b/s640x960/a23206804bf5eabf3db32ad401db82528206c94e.jpg)

Welcome, My name is Janeursular from Gaza, It is with great sadness that I am reaching out to you today to help get my family members out of Gaza to Egypt. I will talk briefly about my family: During the war, my family was evacuated from Khan Yunis to Rafah. They became homeless and were evacuated more than five times. They are now living on the streets, and have nowhere to live. We have lost everything. Our home, our dream and our future have been destroyed and now I am trying to get my family out of Gaza, but unfortunately we do not have the financial capacity left to pay the costs of leaving Gaza. Each person needs between 5,000 and 7,000 US dollars to leave Gaza.

PLEASE DONATE AND SHARE, HELP ME GET INSULIN INJECTION (HUMALOG)
I hope everyone can donate and share my story
I'm Masoud Alfaat, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, a condition that demanded a precise balance of insulin a precious commodity in my war-torn homeland of Gaza.
I find myself in a relentless struggle to secure the insulin vital for my survival. With medical resources scarce and hospitals overwhelmed, obtaining medication became a daily battle fraught with peril.
My condition worsened when the bombs drew perilously close to my home, and my insulin supply dwindled to nothing. With pharmacies shuttered and aid unable to penetrate our besieged area, I confronted a dire predicament. Without insulin, my blood sugar levels surged, threatening to plunge me into a coma.
I ask for your support, your assistance could mean the difference between life and death for me. Please, help me obtain the insulin I so desperately need.
