Hello, my name is Lama, and I am from Gaza City, specifically in the northern Gaza Strip. I grew up in a loving family of resilience and hope, with my parents working tirelessly to provide us with a life of dignity and opportunity. My father was our steadfast provider, and my mother was the heart of our home. I have two brothers and three sisters, the youngest of whom is just six months old. She is frail and often sick due to the lack of proper food and medicine. My siblings and I have shared dreams of education, careers and a bright future. But life in Gaza is marked by hardship, and when the war began, everything we had built was shattered. My older brother, a kind and a courageous soul, was martyred while trying to secure basic necessities for our survival, my younger sister was gravely injured, and the cost of her treatment weighs more than the universe to us, now the responsibility for my family has fallen on my shoulders.

Our home, once filled with warmth, laughter and memories, has been reduced to rubble. We have been displaced more than thirty times from place to a place with nothing but the clothes on our backs. Each time we returned, we found more destruction, we always clung to the hope of rebuilding, but in the last attack, our home was completely destroyed, we are now homeless, living in unsafe conditions with no shelter to protect us from the cold nights. The loss of our home is not just the loss of a building, it’s the loss of safety, stability, and the place where our dreams were nurtured.

With my father unemployed since the beginning of the war, we have no income to provide even the most basic necessities. Water, food, medicine, warm clothes and blankets-things that many take for granted-are beyond our reach. Every day is a battle for survival, and every night is a reminder of the dangers and struggles we face. I am determined to care for family and give my younger brothers and sisters a chance to grow up with hope. But I cannot do it alone.

I am reaching out to you with a plea for compassion and action. Your support can help us rebuild our lives, restore hope, and secure a future where my family can live in peace and safety. Every donation, no matter how small brings us closer to survival and dignity. Please for the sake of god and humanity, help us in this time of desperate need.

Honestly I don’t know what’s happening anymore.

@noor508’s campaign has been active for over a year and has received little help. Everyday he posts about how he and his family need help and even though his post has thousands of comments, he’s lucky if there’s 5 donations that day. His son isn’t even one year old yet and he is forced to live in the worst conditions imaginable and without any food, water or shelter. What else needs to happen! Do you guys not care? Is it because they’re Palestinian?

It is shameful to see this and heartbreaking to know that the world can watch on without caring about what’s happening

They do not deserve to live like this. They should not live like this. They need help now more than ever.

Please, if you care at all, donate to their campaign as much as you can, and don’t stop talking about them!

Horrifying to think about the impunity of the West. Horrifying to witness Western terrorists dehumanizing whole communities and then audaciously couching it as a necessary stepping stone to peace. A city was continuously bombed and put under seige for over 21 months in the name of Jewish safety, and the West upheld the opinion that this is not a genocide.

bitching about local politics but it is funny when ppl from the next town over talked about how they wanted to disband the nation but their kamisan actions are literally dominated by a stafsus dpr. maybe you should abolish that guy's influence in your one weekly political rallies before talking about the country.

its so fucking evil when you read articles of brand new anti-cancer treatments, new vaccinations, new drugs that can help with various medical ailments previously thought as something you have to live with forever... just new medical innovations in general... and you realize you needed to wait around 10-15 years before its available in your country. also its paywalled.

ok i'm not sure how to best phrase this but in many discussions of ww2 it really seems like some people do not view generalplan ost and in particular the genocidality of operation barbarossa and subsequent events as a central part of this chapter of history. and of course you cannot discuss these events without also discussing the shoah and antisemitism (see: "judeo bolshevism") bc nazi antisemitism, anticommunism, and ideas of colonization were intertwined. imo there is really no way to discuss ww2 without discussing it. afaik americans learn about the holocaust, but it seems they (and not only americans tbqh) have this view of the war between nazi germany and the ussr being just like, a list of battles (which are seen as less central than the western front ones anyway), but this is a really incomplete view. like viewing it as a "typical" war will make any analysis of either state in this time period incorrect and incomplete.

this isn't a full analysis of this phenomenon, nor the best description of what rubs me wrong about it, but just like. tldr it is impossible to try to understand ww2 and especially the soviet perspective of it without fully understanding the nature of the war as a war of extermination

YOU - Face yourself.

ENDURANCE - What was *that*? Did you just *flinch* before your own reflection?

YOU - I did not.

ENDURANCE - Yes, you did. There's no use denying it...

Table: Projected Fatalities by March 2025

"These figures are not speculative—they reflect the grim logic of total siege. Nearly one million Palestinians in Gaza, or 40% of the entire population, may already be dead or dying as a result of this genocide. Over half are children. This is not hyperbole. It is arithmetic backed by epidemiological modeling, humanitarian reports, and the lived reality on the ground.

Some may struggle to accept the scale of this toll. But Gaza has already provided ample evidence. By late 2024, Gaza’s own health officials were warning of “thousands of excess deaths” due to disease outbreaks and untreated conditions. International humanitarian workers described watching children die of dehydration and women die in childbirth with no medical help. In one field survey, over 60% of Palestinians reported losing at least one family member since the genocide began. In families of six to eight people, this means multiple losses in each household. The pain is collective, interwoven into the fabric of survival itself.

And still, many of these deaths go uncounted—not because they are invisible, but because the world has chosen to look away. The elderly man who dies because he cannot access dialysis. The infant who vomits blood from typhoid. The teenager with an infected wound that turns septic in a tent. The entire family who dies of hunger surrounded by fields of food they are not allowed to touch. These are not “indirect” deaths in the moral sense. They are central to the machinery of extermination. They are what make this genocide not just an event—but an ongoing system.

The magnitude of this loss is not always visible in news footage. But it is carved into Gaza’s epidemiological data. It is heard in the final voicemail of a doctor who could no longer treat his patients. It is felt in the testimonies of parents burying child after child. And it is codified in every policy decision that blocks aid, bombs hospitals, and calls starvation “necessary pressure.”

The indirect deaths may be harder to photograph—but they are no less real, no less intentional, and no less worthy of mourning and outrage. They are genocide by other means. They are the slow kill. And they must be counted."

This is bad/good cop routine between the US and Israel. Trump is an actor. If you watch a lot of TV shows you'd know this
