#tagging this with gaza for a reason

[khaire-traveler]

Hello, I am from Gaza, due to the shortage of medicine in Gaza, my mother who is a type 1 diabetic and was supposed to undergo urgent eye surgery, has not been able to get insulin or any medical care for the past three months. . Some members of my family fled to the southernmost part of Gaza (Rafah) in tents. But my parents and sisters have nowhere else to stay. They are forced to stay in the Nuseirat refugee camp, which has been bombed since the beginning of Christmas. "I am on my knees asking for your donations. Please help me. where you can.

Goal: $700

**"DO NOT DONATE TO THIS PERSON; THEY ARE MOST LIKELY A SCAMMER!!! DO DONATE TO ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE PALESTINE CHILDREN'S RELIEF FUND!!!***

All the casual readers need to know is do not donate to this person; they are almost certainly a scammer (I say this after looking into it further). Scammer, please, by all means, continue reading. I'd love to hear your defense. c:

Let's dissect this, friends. One incorrect piece of information at a time.

List of Scammer Red Flags Within This Ask

This account has quite a few posts, but all of them are reblogs dated only up to three days ago. The only original post is their pinned post, and even that was posted three days ago. They even reblogged sending this very same ask to another person who asked for a link, as they did not give one. This, too, was dated three days ago. This is fishy to me.

After looking into your claims about having a Type 1 Diabetic mother who needed "urgent eye surgery" without any access to insulin for supposedly three months, I doubt the validity of your statement. It sounds like your mother has pretty severe diabetes, seeing that she needed urgent eye surgery. Sounds like she's reached the criticality of risking blindness as a complication. That's pretty intense, and I highly doubt she would last three months without insulin. "Without insulin, people with T1D will die from hyperglycemia within days or weeks." She is no longer with us. Why does she need money for treatment if she is deceased?

This is a very real article discussing the very real consequences of the fall of Gaza's healthcare system. There is no healthcare system in place currently - nothing substantial or official. There are freelance doctors providing support where they can, humanitarian organizations with their limited authority and ability attempting to provide aid, and medical professionals of all kinds trying their damnedest to put their skills to use in ways they've never had to before. So I ask you, where the fuck is this money going? Are you going to pay ANERA $700 for your deceased mother's insulin?

Seems you have done your research on these tent and refugee camp locations. However, there was an unfortunate airstrike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in early March. From my understanding, it may no longer be standing at all. Even if it is, I doubt, very much so, that you are there. I'm not sure where you are, but I feel it is not there. And where are you posting from, if I may ask? I'm curious how you've gotten internet access. Although I'm aware it's possible, from my understanding, it's extremely difficult to come by.

The Internet thing leads us into our fifth point. How will you access this money? If you were to say, run out of Internet connection, where would this $700 go? How will you get it out of your PayPal account? From your local refugee camp ATM?

PayPal does not work in Palestine, dumbass. You are as bright as a black hole and twice as dense.

-

If you need genuine help, I'm sorry, but this isn't the right way to ask for it. I wish I could do more for you. I wish I could go there myself and give you the relief that you need. I'm not sure what money could do for you in Gaza, especially when medical care is literally impossible to find with many doctors having, unfortunately, passed away and many more fleeing the country, but if you're real, I hope you receive the care that you need. I hope you find somewhere safe to reside.

But I do not think you need help. I think you are someone preying on the kindness of others, taking advantage of a goddamn genocide to earn some extra money. Your money is soaked in the blood of innocents. Innocents who could've used it themselves. Scammer, you disgust me. Children have fucking died while you were busy trying to earn some extra cash, profiting from their suffering. Fuck you, truly. There's a special place in the deep, deep depths of the afterlife, waiting to drag you kicking and screaming to the consequences of your actions. I hope you regret this scam. I hope it haunts you.

[autisticshadowthehedgehog]

wait what did paramount do?

ok gonna be fully honest i dont watch the superbowl cause im too pretty but apparently they put up a "stop being mean to israel :(" message on there. they also sent funds to them last october at least

anyway yesterday they found the bodies of a six-year-old palestinian girl, her whole family, and the two ambulance workers sent to retrieve them, all killed by israeli army gunfire. she had called for help beforehand, hence the ambulance, and her call is recorded. the iof was told ahead of time that the ambulance was coming and approved it, then destroyed the van on purpose. their bodies were left there for two weeks. they are part of around 600,000 casualties among the palestinian civilians.

sorry to dampen my fun lil sonic blog with this sort of heavy shit, i'll try to tag it appropriately, but what the actual fuck is wrong with people.

Been thinking about this quote from Mira Furlan's autobiography (For context, Mira Furlan was an actress, known by many as Delenn on Babylon 5, who fled Yugoslavia during the Yugoslav wars in the 90s and narrowly escaped to the U.S.) "Why does an emigrant continually make mental lists of those "special people" who helped him in times of distress? Why does this not occur so prominently in lives that are "normal," unbroken? Is it because the vulnerability of your situation puts you in a place where you suddenly NEED help? From your comfortable life, you're abruptly launched into a void where nothing and nobody awaits you. It's like being suddenly stripped naked in the midst of a crowd. It's like losing your voice in the middle of a theatre production. It's like everyone dear to you dropping dead at once and leaving you alone, surrounded only by foreign, indifferent faces. Sudden change from somebody to nobody sharpens your senses so that those rare good, compassionate people almost glow in the darkness of your new, bleak world. That's why the emigrant experience is so valuable in the end, despite all its hardship. It makes you see more clearly. It makes you recognize without a doubt the good people around you. And those have been and will always be very few, even in "normal" circumstances. The only difference is that now, in this new life of yours, you KNOW this with absolute certainty." . . . "In general, though, people in America would "help" by making one or two phone calls and disappearing from our lives if those phone calls didn't produce a result. In general, people were indifferent to our "situation." Americans prefer simple stories with clear separation between the "good guys" and the "bad guys." Where did "our story" fit? A new history was being created. Nationalism in Croatia was dismissed as a necessary by-product of Serbian aggression. We, the victims of the fascist tendencies of the "good guys," were just too complicated to even try to understand. Not only America, but the world needs simple stories. And to create those, truth is most often sacrificed." - Mira Furlan, Love Me More Than Anything In The World

Hello, I'm from Gaza City because of the war,my house was destroyed. We lost everything,my family and I did not have anything left. We left our homes in search of a safe place and we were displaced three times to different places to survive, but unfortunately there's no safe place in Gaza. My mother is very sick and she's a kidney failure patient in need of treatment outside. She suffers from LS. Help me and my family to survive. Please, your small donation can make a huge difference. A friend outside Gaza has come in to help me run the donation program so that my mother can be evacuated

Me when I make an account to exploit the kindness of those who don't like genocide. You are the 14th person this year to come into my inbox as a stranger, asking me to donate to your sick mother or siblings or pets from a fairly new account. 14th. At least half of you have told me you are experiencing a genocide from the comfort of your own homes with your Cheeto dust covered keyboards. I am tired.

Have you seen how emaciated civilians are becoming? Do you know what that's like, to die of starvation and dehydration? For all of your organs to slowly shut down, might even take months if you're getting enough scraps of food and water here and there to keep you alive. You ever wake up from a charley horse because you're kind of dehydrated? Now imagine feeling those painful spasms through your body while your kidneys shut down followed by the rest of your organs. Your family must watch this happen to you and you watch it happening to them too, btw.

Have you ever seen children with their heads off of their bodies? Or being eaten by cats? Shot by snipers? I'm sure you have, we all have at this point. if you didn't know the severity you wouldn't be scamming people with this. And for you to know how bad the genocide is and use that level of destruction and death and tragedy for your own selfish gain is genuinely evil and cringe. I'm not trying to appeal to what little humanity you might have left because I think you're too far gone. There's nothing there, that must feel so empty and hollow. But I just think it's worth emphasizing how fucked in the head you have to be to do what you're doing.

Fucking kys. I can DM you some suggestions if you need them.

Hey guys, in case KOSA does end up being passed (which I doubt but it's best to be safe rather than sorry), if you have Discord and are a mutual of mine/interested in being a mutual of mine, just hit me up in Dms to exchange usernames!! Love y'all!

i think it's CRAZY that ppl from gaza are randomly in-boxing people to ask for donations. it's been coming through my main blog only, so im assuming they're going through peoples likes on posts. im NOT interacting with anything relating to gaza on my main tumblr. im following stuff through twitter only.

i cant doom scroll on every single app, so sue me if your pissed im not interacting with every post i see on every single app.

but like. your spamming me. i've gotten 3 in 24 hours. you are spamming me more often than bots, if you arent bots yourself. it's NOT helping the cause to harass people. TWO OF THE THREE WERE ACTUALLY VERIFIED DONATION ACCOUNTS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING. i know i cant possibly be the only person they are doing this too, because im avoiding stuff on tumblr hardcore. so they're doing this through the interactions of unrelated posts. It's spam. you are spamming people. it doesnt matter for what reason.

It Is Spam.

Today, the Palestine tag is trending on Tumblr — and among the posts is a photo of my daughter, Ronza. A fragile little girl suffering from severe malnutrition, whose story I shared, pleading for help. Her image is now reaching millions of people... but sadly, only a few have responded.

We are not okay. We are not safe. We are living in unimaginable conditions — and tomorrow is Eid al-Adha, a holiday that should bring joy, new clothes, laughter, and celebration to children. But how can my children celebrate when there is no food, no water, no medicine? How can they smile in new clothes when their weak bodies can barely stand?

We are in Gaza — trapped, starving, broken. Every day is a battle for survival.

I am begging you, before it’s too late —Please donate to help Ronza. Her life depends on it. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make the difference between life and death.

Please share this message. Let Ronza’s face be more than just a trending image — let it be a call to action. A reason to save a life.

I would like to inform you that my campaign is documented and approved.

Gazavetters #213 , el-shab-hussein&nabulsi # 264
