I love that whenever a middle eastern country is in peril the united shithole states of fucking america suddenly becomes a bastion of lgbt rights that all other countries must live up to or they deserve being bombed
the united shithole states of fucking america where the homeless population is half LGBT youth
Hey guys so if anyone is interested in donating for the Palestinian cause as all of you know Israel has cut off the internet on Gaza for the past few days, Palestinians sometimes get internet connections & sometimes they don’t.
Elon Musk won’t give Palestinians Starlink internet like he did with Ukraine & Taiwan (I won’t get into this), Egyptian communication companies are trying their best at putting towers on the borders but still too far away from the Palestinians to get connection let alone Israel can bomb them whenever they want and call it a mistake “wink wink”.
So a group of Egyptians have decided to gather E-sims for Palestinians, I honestly don’t know how E-sims work cause we don’t use them here in Egypt but the group does, one of them is the owner of the twitter account in this post Merna El Helbawi, she’s an Egyptian writer & also one of the people who went to the borders to urge aid to pass to Palestine.
At the moment her & others are trying to gather E-sims for Palestinians, they’re 100% given to Palestinians for free, if you can participate, even with one E-sim, you would’ve done your part in helping Palestinians document to the world the evil of Israel & also connected displaced family members with eachothers.
Hope you guys can help.
Also this is how E-sims work since most of us in the middle east are discovering them now, this was posted by Speak Now a feminist entity in Egypt who are also helping in the gathering of the E-sims.
An important update:
If anybody knows any other way we can give connection to Palestinians now that we can’t give new E-sims, you’re very welcome to help.
They’re using Simly and another E-sim till now as Nomad stopped activating in Palestine.
So I haven’t talked about this on main before, but the situation in South Gaza has gotten so horrifying that I’m p much throwing caution to the wind to desperately plead for eyes on this. I’m raising awareness about stories from activists in Gaza right now, including one of our own.
My lovely, wonderful friend Swin (aka tumblr user @combaticon) was deployed as a volunteer medic to a Gaza hospital on the 9th.
When the bloodshed started, she heard they needed extra hands in Gaza, she spoke Arabic and had the training, and she went.
I’ve been in contact with her throughout. She’s so incredibly brave it takes my breath away. My heart bleeds for these children she’s taking care of and how resilient they are is… astonishing.
Swin and these poor people have been under siege for so long, and they’re in desperate need of critical supplies. They have to filter water through their clothes, and it’s getting dangerously cold. Foods finally been getting through, but there’s not enough blankets and jackets to go around and there’s no fuel for the generators.
Their comrades in the West Bank have been completely pushed out by settler thugs. It’s incredibly unsafe to even be doing humanitarian work for Palestinians. Remember this the next time a Zionist tells you they’re doing this to ‘feel safe’. The IOF is arming lynch mobs.
On a personal note, this has been the most gut-wrenching week of my life. Every day when I wake up without a text from her I feel so much fear. I fight back the grief but I don’t know how to help or what to do. It’s terrifying.
Swin has asked for nothing, absolutely nothing other than something it can show the people around it to make them feel like they’re not going to be abandoned. To make sure they’re not forgotten in some pit praying Rafah opens before Israel decides to slaughter them all.
Today was a bad day. She’s alive but beyond worrying about her privacy now; she’s asked me to share this and to beg that we not lose steam and forget about them. Please share this, and please keep being fucking annoying and loud and digging your heels in with fury because we cannot let these people die silently.
Yeah no, I’m sure the country using tiktok thirst traps to legitimize it’s military has nothing nefarious to hide.
A casual reminder that while Israel is pumping out propaganda through tweets and tiktoks, they have simultaneously been killing journalists at an unprecedented rate. The IDF has killed over 25 (most likely an underestimate) Journalists since Oct 7th 2023 (Source).
