It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.
decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years
UK citizens can email their MP asking for a ceasefire
US citizens can call/email their local government officials asking for a ceasefire
Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests
Donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund
Donate to Medical Aid for Palestine
Donate to help get food and hygiene kits to Gaza
Hi! I'm Lemon and I'm currently in a little predicament. My father is nearing kicking me out and taking things he pays for with him, such as my phone and PC. Because of this I wont have access to my support lines if I get endangered (its common in this house) and I wont be able to access the job listings Ive applied for, as well as the study resources I have to get my degree in these upcoming months.
I take Ko-Fi, Paypal, and Cashapp for comms. Even a little cash would help me try and get out, or even just get some small busted laptop.
Cashapp is $lemmoonnss
