Hey guys Karam ( @karamrafeek ) reached out to me to share his fundraiser, so pay attention and please don't scroll by

Karam is a software engineer student from Gaza in his last semester. But his dreams of graduating as a successful engineer were shattered when the genocide began in October and his family's home and university were destroyed by Israeli airstrikes.

Now, Karam and his family live in a makeshift tent with insufficient necessities of life. To make matters worse, Karam's mother battles incurable diseases aggravated by the harsh conditions of displacement, extreme cold, and no access to proper care.

Their only ray of hope lies in the possibility of seeking refuge outside the Gaza Strip, where Karam can continue his studies and provide better care for his sick mother.

Please donate and share to help Karam rebuild his life and escape genocide.

While Some Celebrate Christmas 🎄

We’re Drowning in Rain and Cold 🥶

Hello everyone,

My name is Mahmoud Naeem Abu Hatab, a young man displaced from Gaza. While many around the world are celebrating Christmas 🎄, enjoying warm meals and cozy gatherings with loved ones, my family and I are struggling to survive under heartbreaking conditions.

The heavy rain has completely flooded our tent, leaving us shivering in the freezing cold ❄️ without proper shelter, food, or warm clothing. This winter feels like it might be our last if we can’t find help soon.

Our Reality vs. the World’s Joy:

• While homes are lit with decorations and people are exchanging gifts 🎁, we’re battling dampness, hunger, and the biting cold.

• We don’t have blankets, jackets, or even enough food to make it through the day.

• My dream of completing my education and creating a better future is slipping away after losing my laptop during the evacuation.

How You Can Make a Difference:

I’ve started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for:

1. Finding a warm, safe place for my family to stay.

2. Buying food, warm clothing, and blankets.

3. Replacing my lost laptop so I can continue my university studies in software development.

A Final Message From the Heart:

Dear humanity,my supportive friends

🚨A besieged family in Gaza appeals for help to survive🚨

Please consider reading my story

Peace be upon you, I am Hamza from Gaza, Palestine. I am 18 years old. Last July, I finished high school and obtained a grade of 92.6% in the scientific stream. I began my university studies, at the Islamic University of Gaza, specializing in software engineering. I fastened my belts, made my intention, and began the journey. However, with great regret, my journey has not yet begun and has ended quickly before it even started!

How difficult is that word for me. I made plans for my future and was determined to achieve them, but because of the war that is still ongoing today since last October, I lost that dream and I lost my plans and my future that It has become unknown, because of the machine of Zionist arrogance, which left nothing and hadn't left yet.

In the beginning, I lost 3 of my dearest friends, then our house was burned, and warplanes also bombed my university in which I was attached. I wish I could accept that easily, because when you put yourself in my place, perhaps you will feel the horror of the event, because what is gone is My life in short: my room, which I always spent my time in, my simple office, where I spent my best times during my high school studies, and even my recreational time on social networking sites, and my university, where I used to spend the most beautiful times with friends, especially the university cafeteria, where I spent the most enjoyable times, all of this and more. I was deprived of it because of this brutal war. I don't know if you imagined the horror of the situation.

Today, as I am in Deir al-Balah in the south of Gaza due to forced displacement, I wake up every day not knowing how I will spend the time.

There is nothing we can do here except wait, which I cannot describe in reality. Its difficulty. Emptiness is a very bad thing. The feeling of being unable to do anything and waiting for the unknown is truly frightening. Here we are on the 220th day of the war, and its duration is still unknown, and we do not know when it will end. Even if the war ends, we will only have escaped real death, but here we are, dying, Every day, every hour, and every minute, all of that steadfastness in order to meet our beautiful future ,so I write to you these lines that are filled with sadness for our situation here to tell you that we are here and we still have not given up and become complacent, and to also inform you that I created this link asking for helping me to complete my studies outside the walls of my city and country, knowing that the engineering major requires fees of 20,000 US dollars distributed over 5 years of studying.

I also attach pictures of everything mentioned in my story.

Thus, I have no hope left except for this campaign! which I never expected to need, but it is life.

Today, I stand helpless on the abyss, and I await your support to continue my journey, in the hope of meeting the desired hopes and trying to forget the unforgettable pains. I ask you to help in all forms (spreading, donating, moral support,...)

Many thanks and gratitude to you❤️

Hamza

Imagine planning your future with the person you love—your wedding, your home, your life together—only to have it all destroyed in an instant by war.

Imagine losing your home, your job, and your sense of safety, and watching your dreams turn to ashes while you struggle just to survive.

For Yossef, this is his heartbreaking reality.

@yosef-gaza113

Story written by @rumiandroses

Yossef, a 24-year-old from Gaza, once lived a life filled with hope and joy. He had a steady job as an accountant, a warm home, and a bright future planned with his fiancée, Ruba. They were eagerly looking forward to their wedding, set for February 2024—a celebration of love and unity. But the devastating effects of war have shattered all those dreams.

The bombing of Gaza stripped Yossef and his family of everything they held dear. Their home, once a sanctuary, was reduced to rubble. His job, a source of pride and stability, disappeared as the company where he worked ceased operations. Now displaced, Yossef, his family of 12, and his fiancée’s family are struggling to survive in temporary shelters, scattered and unable to reunite easily due to the cost and danger of travel.

Ruba, a bright and ambitious young woman studying software engineering, has also seen her life upended. Her family’s home and all her belongings, including her wedding dress, were destroyed. The cost of her online education, once a beacon of hope, has become an impossible burden. Both she and Yossef are determined to create a better future, but they lack the resources to move forward.

For two years, they’ve clung to the dream of getting married and building a life together, but that dream feels increasingly out of reach. They have no home, no income, and no means to afford Ruba’s education or even basic necessities. Despite all this, they remain steadfast in their hope and are reaching out for help.

Yossef and Ruba’s story is one of resilience and love in the face of unimaginable hardship. They are asking for support to rebuild their lives—support that can help provide shelter, continue Ruba’s education, and restore the future they’ve been fighting to hold onto.

Every donation, no matter how small, is a step toward reuniting this young couple and helping them create a life filled with the love and security they deserve. Please consider donating to their campaign and sharing their story. Together, we can make a difference.

You can donate to Youssef's Chuffed campaign [HERE].

UPDATE (12/25/24):

This morning, I received a message from Youssef. He is just $350 away from being able to evacuate to safety from recent attacks. This is such an attainable goal if we band together! Please consider donating, and if you’re unable to, sharing his story can make all the difference. Thank you! 🙏

DAY 6274

Jalsa, Mumbai Aopr 20, 2025 Sun 11:17 pm

🪔 ,

April 21 .. birthday greetings and happiness to Ef Mousumi Biswas .. and Ef Arijit Bhattacharya from Kolkata .. 🙏🏽❤️🚩.. the wishes from the Ef family continue with warmth .. and love 🌺

The AI debate became the topic of discussion on the dining table ad there were many potent points raised - bith positive and a little indifferent ..

The young acknowledged it with reason and able argument .. some of the mid elders disagreed mildly .. and the end was kind of neutral ..

Blessed be they of the next GEN .. their minds are sorted out well in advance .. and why not .. we shall not be around till time in advance , but they and their progeny shall .. as has been the norm through generations ...

The IPL is now the greatest attraction throughout the day .. particularly on the Sunday, for the two on the day .. and there is never a debate on that ..

🤣

.. and I am most appreciative to read the comments from the Ef on the topic of the day - AI .. appreciative because some of the reactions and texts are valid and interesting to know .. the aspect expressed in all has a legitimate argument and that is most healthy ..

I am happy that we could all react to the Blog contents in the manner they have done .. my gratitude .. such a joy to get different views , valid and meaningful ..

And it is not the end of the day or the debate .. some impressions of the Gen X and some from the just passed Gen .. and some that were never ever the Gen are interesting as well :

The Printing Press (15th Century)

Fear: Scribes, monks, and elites thought it would destroy the value of knowledge, lead to mass misinformation, and eliminate jobs. Reality: It democratized knowledge, spurred the Renaissance and Reformation, and created entirely new industries—publishing, journalism, and education.

⸻

Industrial Revolution (18th–19th Century)

Fear: Machines would replace all human labor. The Luddites famously destroyed machinery in protest. Reality: Some manual labor jobs were displaced, but the economy exploded with new roles in manufacturing, logistics, engineering, and management. Overall employment and productivity soared.

⸻

Automobiles (Early 20th Century)

Fear: People feared job losses for carriage makers, stable hands, and horseshoe smiths. Cities worried about traffic, accidents, and social decay. Reality: The car industry became one of the largest employers in the world. It reshaped economies, enabled suburbia, and created new sectors like travel, road infrastructure, and auto repair.

⸻

Personal Computers (1980s)

Fear: Office workers would be replaced by machines; people worried about becoming obsolete. Reality: Computers made work faster and created entire industries: IT, software development, cybersecurity, and tech support. It transformed how we live and work.

⸻

The Internet (1990s)

Fear: It would destroy jobs in retail, publishing, and communication. Some thought it would unravel social order. Reality: E-commerce, digital marketing, remote work, and the creator economy now thrive. It connected the world and opened new opportunities.

⸻

ATMs (1970s–80s)

Fear: Bank tellers would lose their jobs en masse. Reality: ATMs handled routine tasks, but banks actually hired more tellers for customer service roles as they opened more branches thanks to reduced transaction costs.

⸻

Robotics & Automation (Factory work, 20th century–today)

Fear: Mass unemployment in factories. Reality: While some jobs shifted or ended, others evolved—robot maintenance, programming, design. Productivity gains created new jobs elsewhere.

The fear is not for losing jobs. It is the compromise of intellectual property and use without compensation. This case is slightly different.

I think AI will only make humans smarter. If we use it to our advantage.

That’s been happening for the last 10 years anyway

Not something new

You can’t control that in this day and age

YouTube & User-Generated Content (mid-2000s onward)

Initial Fear: When YouTube exploded, many in the entertainment industry panicked. The fear was that copyrighted material—music, TV clips, movies—would be shared freely without compensation. Creators and rights holders worried their content would be pirated, devalued, and that they’d lose control over distribution.

What Actually Happened: YouTube evolved to protect IP and monetize it through systems like Content ID, which allows rights holders to:

Automatically detect when their content is used

Choose to block, track, or monetize that usage

Earn revenue from ads run on videos using their IP (even when others post it)

Instead of wiping out creators or studios, it became a massive revenue stream—especially for musicians, media companies, and creators. Entire business models emerged around fair use, remixes, and reactions—with compensation built in.

Key Shift: The system went from “piracy risk” to “profit partner,” by embracing tech that recognized and enforced IP rights at scale.

This lead to higher profits and more money for owners and content btw

You just have to restructure the compensation laws and rewrite contracts

It’s only going to benefit artists in the long run ‎

Yes

They can IP it

That is the hope

It’s the spread of your content and material without you putting a penny towards it

Cannot blindly sign off everything in contracts anymore. Has to be a lot more specific.

Yes that’s for sure

“Automation hasn’t erased jobs—it’s changed where human effort goes.”

Another good one is “hard work beats talent when talent stops working hard”

Which has absolutely nothing to with AI right now but 🤣

These ladies and Gentlemen of the Ef jury are various conversational opinions on AI .. I am merely pasting them for a view and an opinion ..

And among all the brouhaha about AI .. we simply forgot the Sunday well wishers .. and so ..

my love and the length be of immense .. pardon

Concerning reports coming out of north Gaza this morning

Resistance News Network claims on Telegram that the occupation supposedly allowed some women and children under the age of 14 to return to their homes in north Gaza via Rashid Street.

However, journalist Hossam Shabat says that the IOF has denounced this as completely false, advising people not to approach the area or try to return to the north, as it is still an active war zone. RNN provides photographic and video evidence, while Hossam directly cites the words of the occupation.

Journalist Anas Al-Sharif reports this on his Telegram channel as well, citing the same evidence.

Meanwhile journalist Saed Al-Zaneen reports on Telegram that some people are trying to return to their homes in the north of their own initiative. Some occupation squads *may* be allowing this in certain areas, but it is not sanctioned by IOF leadership and could change at any time. He warns that the troops may suddenly attack the people trying to return, and that the occupation is not to be trusted.

We will continue monitoring the situation, but advise our followers not to spread word of any return of displaced people to the north right now, at least until circumstances are much more clear

UPDATE AT TIME OF PUBLISHING: Hossam Shabat reports occupation vehicles are now advancing on Al-Rashid Street in Gaza City. Saed Al-Zaneen reports this as well. He now also reports one martyr and one wounded person have arrived at Al-Awda Hospital in north Gaza after they tried to return to the north via Al-Rashid Street. He reports they are being attacked from helicopters and provides documentation. Resistance News Network reports this as well. Journalist Momin Abu Owda also documents this Journalist Ismail Al-Ghoul is at Al-Nabulsi Roundabout on Al-Rashid Street and reports no sign of people being able to return.

The situation is obviously in flux. I need to go to bed, but I will review the situation when I wake up. Please follow the cited sources and use a translation software as needed.

A Cry from Gaza: Save Our Lives Before It's Too Late

I am Belal Abed from Gaza – a man whose future once shone bright with hope and promises. With a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, I dreamed of pursuing further studies and obtaining a Master's degree in Germany, envisioning a life that would uplift my family and community. But the harshness of war tore that dream apart, leaving nothing but despair behind.

Our home, which was once a haven of hope, was mercilessly destroyed by the ongoing conflict. For over a year now, we have been wandering like displaced souls, forced to live in torn, temporary tents that offer only minimal protection from the scorching summer heat or the biting cold of winter nights. Every day, I witness scenes that shatter my heart, as my children – whose eyes reflect a sadness far beyond their years – suffer from the pain of hunger and the agony of thirst. The scant resources we once possessed have evaporated, leaving us clinging only to memories of a life that now seems so distant.

This is our home after the war and destruction

I before the war: Who I was and what I aspired to be

Before the war, I was a young man full of dreams and ambitions, working hard to carve out a bright future for myself and my family, building hopes without limits.

Now, I live in a tent that lacks even the barest of defenses

This is the state of our children: before the war and after

Before the war, our children’s eyes shone with innocence and joy, dreaming of a bright future like all of us.

Our cooking situation

In the quiet hours of the night, sorrow overwhelms me as I weep not only for the loss of our home but also for the future that was cruelly snatched away from us. I beg you, from the depths of my shattered heart, to extend a hand of compassion and support to us. Even the smallest act of kindness can illuminate our darkest moments and offer a fragile glimmer of hope in the face of despair.

I implore you, if at all possible, not to let my family and our innocent children continue to suffer. Every donation is a beacon of hope – a step towards reclaiming our dignity and building a future, however broken, that still carries the promise of healing and renewal.
