Motaz posted a 22 minute video and here’s the takeaways:

- north Gaza is being heavily bombed. There are estimates say one person is killed every five (5) minutes.

- new massacre in jabalia, many killed with no media coverage (2 journalists were injured this morning.)

- no connection or food in the north, no food, only aid since the last pause

- Motaz has not showered for six days and others haven’t showered for weeks

- in two days, one Israeli drone came to Motaz’s home (and other houses) and it was able to kill and shoot

- there’s no food

- “you are waiting to die. This is what Gazans still alive now do. You are waiting to be killed,”

- everyday it gets worse

- aid does enter Gaza, but it is not enough. Israel won’t let a large amount enter.

- “you can’t help us, I’m sorry you can’t help us, you can’t do anything”

- he denied an interview from CNN since he does not want to be judged by people.

- “if you are human, you will share the videos, but don’t tell us you did something for us.”

- he works for UNRWAUSA, and those are the only people he trusts.

- people have been blaming him for not “doing enough/sharing enough”

- one thing in Arabic he says is “The death of Palestinians is easier than drinking water.”

I’m in the process of organizing a gofundme for a family to get out of Gaza and into Egypt. If anyone with a big following on Twitter can help me spread it there, please let me know.

I’m really, deadly serious about this. Please do contact me if you or someone you know could help. If some tumblr blogs with significant followings can volunteer to spread it when it’s ready, too, please send me a message and I’ll send you a post with the link as soon as it’s ready

Help Ahmed and His Family Escape Gaza, organized by H A
To introduce myself, I’m a Palestinian-American who has been to the West Bank many times. R… H A needs your support for Help Ahmed and His
gofundme.com

Here we go. This fundraiser is for @90-ghost and I’ve had it set up on his behalf because gofundme isn’t available in Palestine. I’m collaborating with a DC-based organization to help spread this on Facebook, but it’s been put together on short notice and the reach is limited, so we need your help: the need for someone to help spread it on Twitter still stands.

In case anyone is suspicious, I hate to have to do this, but I’ve reverse-searched Ahmed’s images (featured in the gofundme), checked his posts to see that he does use authentic Palestinian Arabic to the best of my knowledge (my family is from the West Bank and I’ve been there a lot), checked the story of his sister from 2021 and found confirmation of her murder, etc. If you have questions about me, well, Ahmed will vouch for me, and you can see from looking at my blog that this is a cause that has been near and dear to me for a long time; I’m Palestinian and would sooner die than do wrong by a fellow Palestinian fleeing death itself. Please help Ahmed by donating and/or spreading far and wide!

Hello there! Your artwork is absolutely gorgeous. I know your commissions are closed right now, but I just had a question for when they are open again. You say in your rules you won't do real people, i'm wondering if that applies to like, if i wanted to commission art of myself/my partner? i know some people just won't do art of like, celebrities, but i wasn't sure if it was that, or not wanting to capture a physical likeness. No worries either way, and thank you for taking the time to read this!

More than 100 Gaza heritage sites have been damaged or destroyed by Israeli attacks
The nonprofit group Heritage for Peace's preliminary findings show 104 historic religious buildings, museums and archaeological sites have b
NPR
In the weeks since Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip have killed more than 15,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's health ministry, and destroyed thousands of homes in the territory.
And there have also been tremendous losses to the region's ancient and globally significant cultural heritage. The region was a hub for commerce and culture under Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Byzantine rule. It remained influential for centuries thereafter.
A recent survey by the group Heritage for Peace details the damage done so far to more than 100 of these landmarks in Gaza since the start of the present conflict.
The casualties include the Great Omari Mosque, one of the most important and ancient mosques in historical Palestine; the Church of Saint Porphyrius, thought to be the third oldest church in the entire world; a 2,000-year-old Roman cemetery in northern Gaza excavated only last year; and the Rafah Museum, a space in southern Gaza which was dedicated to teaching about the territory's long and multi-layered heritage — until it was hammered by airstrikes early on in the conflict. (...)
"If this heritage be no more in Gaza, it will be a big loss of the identity of the people in Gaza," said Isber Sabrine, president of Heritage for Peace, in an interview with NPR. (...)
"The people in Gaza, they have the right to keep and to save this heritage, to tell the history, the importance of this land," he said.
The 1954 Hague Convention, agreed to by Palestinians and Israelis, is supposed to safeguard landmarks from the ravages of war. But landmarks in Gaza have been destroyed by Israeli strikes in earlier rounds of fighting. Dozens of sites, including the now-obliterated Great Omari Mosque, suffered damage in 2014. A report by UNESCO, the United Nations body that designates and protects World Heritage sites, cites further destruction to cultural and historic sites in Gaza in 2021. (...)

Destruction of historical sites and other cultural sites is part of genocide, it's the destruction of the proof of a people's relationship to the land and a horrible emotional blow at the community. UNESCO must act immediately against Israel's destruction of Palestinian heritage, and every country and international organism must expel Israel and impose sanctions to make the genocide and apartheid end.

dskjhfksjdhf im genuinely obsessed w how this is phrased

yes i have a work commitment i am not going to tomorrow, personally it is quite easy for me, but i understand those for whom it is not as easy, which is why there are multiple options for what you can do instead

and of course as always above everything just raise awareness. talk about palestine, send your emails, call your representatives, etc
