Great article by our friend Sarah Clancy, who was kidnapped by apartheid Israel in international waters trying to get aid into Gaza. Our governments' complicity in the genocide of Palestinians compels us to act in all the different ways we can. #FreePalestine www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

13 hours left 🚨 please share! We’ve been able to help SIX FAMILIES flee from siege & bombardment in Gaza City—only because of YOU. But we’re losing momentum, while time runs out for the remaining two families. Don’t break the bank. We chip away and share to reach those who can give. 195/1000 😥

Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday. Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic — & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

Obada has two small kids, he’s not good at marketing and now his internet it terrible so I rarely hear from him www.gofundme.com/f/nrak2-help...

💔

Makes me smile every time I go to this place for a swim - there’s still quite a few of these around Wellington!

Please share: 14 hours left! These families are still with us—don’t take that for granted. Their tomorrow is unwritten. Death is not inevitable. We must invest all hope in their lives Help them escape the invasion of Gaza City. Anything helps. 87/1000

buytickets.at/sdhepress/18... Please join us on 5th October at 7 pm BST! We are reading to raise funds for displaced families in Mawasi. Tickets are free, donations are encouraged and needed. If you can´t donate right now, you are welcome to join! Please share the links❤️ chuffed.org/project/mawa...

Please help if you can!

It’s three kids & their dad. They aren’t part of the giving circle but they’re dear, dear friends of the folks in the giving circle. They need evacuation—about £2,500—but they only get about £50/week. Learn more & give: linktr.ee/ahmadskids

If you have any questions about the transparency of this campaign and others, please just ask The amount that you see was raised over the last 24 months for 11 people and paid out on a regular basis. This is NOT the amount that Mahmoud has at his disposal right now!

Video descr: Annick, a white woman with dark curls, wearing a yellow T-shirt and a colorful kuffiyah, is speaking directly to the camera. Talking points are: there are many ways to vet fundraisers. The amount you see raised is the money raised over almost 24 months, often for large families.

Please watch this. There are still too many misconceptions floating around about personal fundraisers and that is one reason a lot of people aren´t receiving the tangible help that is needed right now. As my friend says: "Gaza is not a charity". These campaigns are to meet basic needs.

255/500 by tonight! Thank you so much to @janeburn.bsky.social for this beautiful painting of two Palestinian sunbirds. And to you, reading this: you can help. Please, please do.

ok i owe you 20 poems and I'm still doing this all week folks! because at midnight we start again on the second half of the evacuation funds... that's right, this is the first half. but we hold tight onto hope and keep trying

🚨 We’re in the final 5 hours 🚨 Our giving circle was never meant to last this long—let alone exist. But this is our project right now: empower several families to flee Gaza City. Every dollar means transportation & shelter (and hope). We try, we try, we try. 4835/5000

In case you were wondering how serious Bluesky is about feedback, they have hidden multiple replies to this post demanding they stop banning Palestinians. Go and sort by replies with the most likes. The top result has hundreds fewer than this one last I checked. bsky.app/profile/cpm5...

Folks, please be part of this. Please come along to this. Please donate to and support this. Please publicise this. Even if you can't attend yourself. 🙏🏼🇵🇸💚

Tomorrow! www.tickettailor.com/events/sdhep... Come and join us, it will be an evening filled with poetry and love. #PoetrySky #Fundraiser

It all feels so cripplingly hopeless. Yet there are things we can do. Like donating to charities doing their best to combat Israeli barbarism by ensuring food, clothing, shelter and essential medical supplies reach those Palestinians most desperately in need (which, at this point, is most of them).

Never thought I'd live to see the days when the world's most powerful nations would decide the best response to an ally's systematic starvation of a neighbouring people is to fully enable this ongoing cruelty by way of political weaselling, resolute inaction, and ceaseless arms sales. #shame

You'll find some fundraising organisations in the invite to @missyerem.bsky.social's evening of poetry readings in support of our Palestinian brothers and sisters. It's this coming Thursday (Aug 14th), and it's free to attend – just book your place! And of course, give generously. 💚🙏🏼🇵🇸 bit.ly/4oeWr8F

The wondrous @missyerem.bsky.social is hosting a birthday fundraiser for Gaza on 14 August - there are some terrific poets involved and it's such an important cause. Please do come if you can www.tickettailor.com/events/sdhep...

By my count this makes 5 out of 12 authors on the Polari First Book longlist who have withdrawn. It's hard to understate the moral courage this involves, esp for folk launching their first book into the world. As so often, those with the most to lose end up showing the most moral fibre. Solidarity x

Awards are only of value when they consider all artists equally. The TERF on the longlist has ruined it for everybody. What the arts world needs right now is more principled people like this. <3

Please help this family, donate if you can, and share!

It´s my birthday today and I pledged some money to this campaign. Please make my wish come true and do the same! chuffed.org/project/mahm...

So pleased to see this letter from MPs in support of students in Gaza with offers at UK universities. It's been signed by over 100 MPs and is a real cross-party effort. I hope now that Starmer will respond to our requests.

I am so looking forward to reading at this event! Come and join us in gathering funds for Gaza! 14th August, 7pm BST #Poetry #Community #Palestine

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hayat. Hayat has three children Hadeel, 10, Mohammed, 8 and Abeer, 5. They lost their home and are in tents. In addition to her children she is whenever she can helping her large family including her parents and seven siblings.

Edinburgh - this Book Fringe chat with Mahmoud & Matthew about Gaza and Palestinian culture is Tuesday 12th, 1pm, and it is FREE, join us! (or watch online! Because yes, it'll be livestreamed like all our Book Fringe gigs!) lighthousebookshop.com/events/stori...

Oh my dearest sister There's no holding We are ashlaa in bodies that know to weep and hearts that beat with words of telling We die A fact of life But we do language that's the miracle of life

not mentioned but mentioned like life with Gaza #GazaStarving #GazaGenocide #KeepTellingofGaza

Mathématiques. Nous avons appris à compter, à mesurer, à estimer. La maîtrise des nombres : la logique, la suite 2, 4, 6… On usurpe les nombres pour quantifier des calories et anéantir un peuple jugé encombrant dans ce pays rebaptisé Riviera. (Suite en message 👇)

We are still telling

I watch my family grow thinner, quieter, more distant by the day. The world says it’s watching. But we are vanishing. Kindly don’t look away. My family is all I have. I entrust them to you. Don’t leave us alone in this. 🙏🏽

Testing the waters here: if I did a spontaneous birthday fundraiser reading for Gaza, would any of you here like to read? Very short notice, as in the week of 11th of August or maybe even the week before. 2 poems each, tickets free, but donations wanted.

Absolutely disgusting. What an insult to the thousands of dedicated care workers who come here to help our elderly population and those most in need. Brexit bollocks.
