i'd like to draw attention to a fundraising campaign for Hossam Bardaweel. Hossam's immediate family, his parents and his siblings, has been martyred. he's currently living in a tent with his neices and nephews and his campaign is still a long way from its goal.
this campaign was shared with me through direct contact with a palestinian whose campaign has been vetted and reached its goal alhamdulillah, and i trust its legitimacy. please donate any amount that you can spare!

he has been fundraising since April and has only been able to collect €10,555/€100,000.
he needs to evacuate his family (8 adults) from gaza. there are rumors that the rafah crossing might open this month and he is far from his goal.
please donate to his gfm if you can, share it if you can't. it has been vetted by @/el-shab-hussein.
he also graciously shared his paypal. please feel free to donate to that if you can.

now that i have your attention! mohammed ayesh (@ayeshjourney) vets campaigns on the ground for people trapped in gaza. he helps run the blog @/gaza-evacuation-funds and vets campaigns for @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein. he does an incredible amount of work to help so many people and now he and his family need our help.
mohammed has launched a gofundme campaign to help his younger brother yasser, who has a cochlear implant that needs repairing. their campaign is very low on funds. the current short-term goal is £5,000 and they have raised £2,492. please consider donating even £5 if it's within your means and please share this post! i hope we can work together to help mohammed and his family!

I hope western leftists know that standing for a free Palestine is not the end of decolonization. I've seen far too many white leftists who proudly stand for freeing Palestine which is good but then get nervous and apprehensive at the idea of decolonizing the very land they are on. Norway will recognize Palestine but actively tear down Sámi liberation. Liberation for one people means it for us all. If you support Palestinian liberation but deny it for the Indigenous people of the land you're on then you didn't stand for Palestinians or any of us to begin with.
