I heard someone say recently that they were sick of hearing about Gaza. If you are sick of hearing about Gaza, imagine how sick the Palestinians of Gaza must be feeling, living a life that people can’t bear to hear about.

 

Currently, many in the world are sharing their disgust at the way that Trump spoke to Zelensky. What fascinates me more is why these same people are not sharing outrage at the fact that Trump has never talked to Netanyahu like that especially considering the billions the US sends his way and the fact that he is extending his war on Gaza to Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, the West Bank, Iraq and Iran.  That is of course, because all those nasty Arab countries are all super aggressive and threaten the plan of Great Israel. Always defending themselves, never the aggressor.

 

Meanwhile, all aid to Gaza has been cut and once again an impoverished, malnourished, traumatised population is being collectively punished for existing.

I am not sure when humanity left this world, but it has and for that I am so ashamed.

 

At 21 years of age, my friend Oday shoulders the heavy responsibility of being the sole financial supporter of his beloved family in Gaza. If you could help in any way, it would make a difference and also send a message of kindness.

 

To help Oday and his family the best way is to donate directly to their fundraising accounts:

Oday’s GoFundMe Account supports his whole family and is their only means of support:

 

Oday’s sister Ameera also has a fundraiser for her and Oday’s nephew Amir:

 

You can donate to me at the shop.
