Update!
The guy in this photo is called A'aed Abu Amro. Shortly after this image went viral, he was shot by Israeli Army but someone close to him said he was fine. I couldnāt find anything else about him, not even ways to support him directly. So Iām adding some relevant links to help as many people as we can:
You can find more links to support organizations here!
Please, if you canāt donate, consider taking 5 to 10 minutes to learn about the situation. I know is hard, but you donāt have to do it all at once.
Do you remember Mohammed El-Kurd? His interview with CNN went viral recently. His instagram is linked and you can find ways to support Sheik Jarrah through his linktree. Hereās a direct link for donations.
You wonderful people have helped Shahed and Fadi raise 1k already since I posted this! Please keep donating! They need to reach 12.5k$ to register for evacuation!!
If people were too mean to you when you were growing up, a newborn animal will materialize inside your brain and it’s so so scared and shivering and it will stay there for years. Decades, even. And whenever you say something kind of weird but true to your heart the animal will tell you “Noo! You can’t say that! If you say that, everyone will hate you!”. The animal means well. It’s so so small and everything is so scary for them and it’s just trying to protect you. But listen to me. Listen to me. Whenever this happens, you can’t do what the animal says. You can’t. If you do, you’ll become as scared as the animal. You have to keep saying weird shit. You have to keep doing things the animal wouldn’t approve of. If you do enough things that scare the animal, maybe one day it’ll go to sleep.
Itās really heartening how much people on this site came together to help Ahmed @90-ghost. Heās in Egypt now with his younger brother waiting on his mom and older brother to join them. The issue now is living expenses. Life is extremely difficult for displaced people, and the future is uncertain. If youāve ever wondered how you can help a Palestinian displaced by the genocide, hereās one way to do so.
