We need more ships sailing to Gaza, more buses moving, more screaming voices, more pressure from every corner of the world. Please don't turn your eyes away. Please keep pushing before it's too late.

Fam, you know I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important. My best friend, her mum, her elderly gran, and their many many rescued animals are at risk of becoming homeless in the very near future. If you can spare a few bucks, I'd really appreciate it.

The Timeless Beauty of the Palestinian People. The unique beauty of the Palestinian thobe lies in its intricate, handmade craftsmanship by Palestinian women who have trained for years. Embroidering a single thobe can take two years or more. Below are photos captured through my lens, featuring me adorned in the Palestinian thobe and Islamic hijab, alongside my sisters Eman and Tala.

On April 10, 2017, there was a global competition about heritage where each participant had to send 10 photos showcasing their country's heritage. There was a cash prize, and since I had a camera and loved photography, I participated. However, after submitting the photos, I was shocked to receive an email informing me that my country was not internationally recognized.

I am not sad because it was one of the best days of my life. On that day, I went to the far north of Gaza, where Palestinian Bedouins live. As a city dweller, it was a new experience for me and possibly my first visit to this area. I was surprised to find that the people in the outskirts of Gaza still wear the Palestinian thobe and incorporate it into their daily lives. In contrast, we city residents wear it only on special occasions.

As soon as I arrived, everyone knew I was from the city because they literally know everyone in their area! I felt like a stranger until people started approaching me. Some invited me for tea, some wanted me to listen to the flute, and some sang for me. A kind lady introduced me to her grandchildren and sheep. Another woman taught me how to make saj bread, and a man showed me his pottery workshop, teaching me how to make pottery from clay. A construction worker, who was pouring concrete with his team, was overjoyed to know I was an engineer and started asking for my opinion on every corner of the building. There were some people who owned camels, and they gave me one to tour the deserts and take photos. There was also a shy mechanic and a funny butcher who thought I would make him famous with my camera.The children in the north, some play football after school, and others tend to the sheep and help their fathers after school. My people are very simple and love life. You will be surprised, but all this happened in just one day. I was shocked by the hospitality and still cry tears of joy when I remember the beauty of that day.

Entranced by the melodies of a skilled flute player, I felt the soulful rhythm of Palestinian culture.

Warmly welcomed by a Palestinian family, I mastered crafting Palestinian bread—no easy feat, but laughter made it memorable.

The shy mechanic and the kind owner of the pottery workshop depict the quiet strength and warmth of Palestinian craftsmanship.

Standing tall for over three centuries, this ancient tree symbolizes the deep-rooted resilience of the Palestinian people.

The cheerful construction worker and the butcher aspiring for fame.

A simple joy like indulging in ice cream embodies the Palestinian love for life and the pursuit of happiness.

On that day, I got to know my people for the first time. I felt sad because I had never visited before. Today, I am sharing with you the photos from the competition that I did not win, but I won the most beautiful day that I will remember for the rest of my life. Despite their poverty, these people overwhelmed me with their generosity and food.

We are not poor; real poverty is experienced by those with impoverished spirits, not by those with empty wallets. I do not know if those in the photos are still alive, for we Palestinians do not live long. We either die from wars or from injustice. There is a famous saying: Do not fall in love with a Palestinian because they do not live long. Amal Abushammala

Aang is the sole survivor of a (fictional) genocide. The whole horror of ATLA is how the Fire Nation wiped out an entire nation, had all other benders in concentration camps, expanded its borders, killed revolutionaries. I know you all detach yourselves from reality, but that just shows you don't understand or care about its values as much as you claim to be. Like, you missed the whole point of the show? Anyway, I know the fandom doesn't care but:

the show's creators: Bryan posted 2 times(Jan. 24) in 2 years of genocide. Michael has posted nothing. Though, they toured w their composer Jeremy who shared zionist propaganda of beheaded babies and then vague shit about world peace, both sides, and jewish people being prosecuted and o h the horror - Both BryKe have shared more about a certain white country being bombed by russia or a nazi US president making fun of the outfit of (US placed) nazi president of said country :\

FREE PALESTINE. FREE SUDAN. FREE HAWAI'I. FREE CONGO. FREE KURDISTAN. FREE TAIWAN. FREE YEMEN. FREE HAITI. FREE ALL OPRESSED PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD

I drew this such awhile ago for that Twitter awareness post of draw your fav character with a watermelon—just to not do that 🥲

I think based on Aang’s experience alone he’d stand with Palestine. 🇵🇸

My name is Aya, I'm 29 years old. I'm married to Jihad, who is 32, and we have three beautiful children: Abdelrahman (7 years old), Jori (5 years old), and Adam (2 years old). We live in the northern part of Gaza.

Abdelrahman, Adam, and Jori are the heartbeat of my heart and the light of my life.

Abdelrahman: the lion of the house, the helpful and loving boy to his siblings and family.

Jori: my beloved girl, the one closest to my heart, and my little mini-me.

Adam: my little hero and my spoiled child.

Since the onset of the latest war in Gaza, our home has been completely destroyed, forcing us into displacement. We’ve had to move more than thirteen times in search of safety. During this harrowing journey, we faced severe hunger and malnutrition that nearly took my life and the lives of my children. Additionally, we were exposed to numerous contagious diseases and dangerous epidemics.

Before: This is our home, our dream, and our promising future.

My children have to travel long distances just to get water and stand in line for hours to get food. Their mental health has been shattered by the war, their education has come to a halt, and they have suffered from catastrophic hunger that almost claimed their lives.

After: This is our home, built with our sweat and effort, and it has been completely destroyed.

The Right to a Peaceful Life

My children deserve to live a peaceful life free from fear and anxiety. I dream of your help to support my family and escape this genocide. Your assistance means the world to me and my children.

Your donations can be a beacon of hope for us. Every dollar can help save my children's lives and give them a chance to live in peace. Your prayers for us to overcome this ordeal and lift the siege are greatly needed.

I'd like to share how I came to work with @drdarine.

A family in Gaza reached out, asking if I could help illustrate their story. They had seen my art supporting verified fundraisers and hoped I could give a voice to their experience.

The Dawoud family shared a brief but powerful script describing their ordeal a journey of displacement, fear, and survival. Since then, I’ve had the honor of illustrating several of their stories, doing my best to capture both their pain and their resilience. You can see them here:

Love and the Shadow of the Tent

Return to the Shadow of the Tent

Khaled's story

They are #15 on Gazavetters' list. I'm not a vetter myself, but I would also vouch for this family if the world depended on it; they are honest and respectful. I've never felt pressured or misled while working with them.

I'm honored and humbled to work with this family. Their dignity in the face of such hardships has astounded me. I ask you all to read their story and do whatever you can to help.

Support them here ! Remember, no one is free until we are all free.

worst thing in this timeline is the genocidal matrix's ai military/police fascist spyware and its drones/sentinels murdering children (blowing them to pieces, headshot, shot in the heart, ripping their head off) in Palestine while advertising their weapons of mass death with actual footage of the killings with the phrase "right on point". sell stolen homes and land to settlers worldwide.

and all the ai companies who are profiting and getting into the game purely out of sadistic monsterous genocidal desires for innocent blood to spill so they get millions/billions, they talk to advertising people so they re naming all their ai spyware/gun companies, stuff from fantasy novels so the name sounds good.

ISRAHELL & US is out there raping, mass starving, enslaving, organ trafficking, killing w/ dystopian fascist technology, lacing flour "aid" with deadly drugs and naming the operations/guns shit like palantir, narnia, magical world, bring back toy story 6 and shit
