This is beyond heartbreaking. There is a Facebook page called “native Palestinians”. The postings are genuine and sadly profound. Some of us Americans have connected with Palestinian individuals who post there, create personal connections with them through WhatsApp for personal support and love, and/or to send them funds directly. (You need to vet of course since some folx dishonesty try to raise $ this way.) I’ve been in touch personally with a woman there for a long time and it means a lot to her. Her husband was taken away a year ago and she’s left with three young children 3,5 and 7, to care for. They are cold and wet and starving. She asks for prayers. I raise money for this family and actually 12 other families, through donations from my circles. You might want to check out this opportunity. ❤️🩹
Time to make the Holy Land holy again. The best thing Pope Francis could ever do is to make his stand in Gaza, or Bethlehem. He has an opportunity that is unequalled, to say "no" to genocide. If Gaza is no longer an option, thanks to the total blockade by Israel. He could even go to the West Bank, Beirut, or even Teheran.
May it be his road to Damascus moment, and say, “Not in our name, not on our watch.”
I appreciate that dropsite news won't let Gaza go. So many other outlets have moved on in the news cycle, it's hard to fault them. Everything covering Gaza is heartbreaking. One part of this story that I would like to know more about is how Hamas particularly the military interacts with the people of Gaza. The Israeli's are always reporting on how they steal aid from the people. I don't necessarily, believe that but I have see nothing I can use to refute it. I am curious. Having that would give me a more complete picture of what is going on.
Thank you for your reporting on Gaza…so many have moved on. I also go to Electronic Intifada every day for postings and they have a livestream every Wednesday on YouTube at noon Eastern standard time and Mondoweiss is another good site.
And Anti-war News has a daily 25 minute podcast on YouTube and many articles to read on their website.The mask is completely off the US govt and will never recover…but is clear they do not care.
