The situation in Palestine in both Gaza and the West Bank is catastrophic. Two days ago, the Israeli Newspaper Haaretz reported that Israel had just committed “the largest child massacre in its history”. (That is in its actual 77-year history not its purported since-time-began history.) Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day with direct support from the US, UK, other Western Governments including our own and zero outrage from Western Media. In the last 96 hours over 900 men, women and children have been murdered.
Obviously, we don’t have any concept of the enormity of the battle to stay alive that is faced by the people of Palestine every day because if we did, we would all be screaming for accountability from our governments and the media both of whom have revealed themselves to be nothing but mouthpieces for sale.
Oday is my friend, and his family needs our help as they are currently in the most desperate fight for survival.
At 22 years of age, my friend Oday shoulders the heavy responsibility of being the sole financial supporter of his beloved family in Gaza.
To help Oday and his family the best way is to donate directly to Oday’s GoFundMe Account which supports his whole family and is their only means of support:
You can also help Oday’s sister and nephew Ameera and Amir directly here:
