I have a message for you from Cairo.
I know I have been inviting you to support a number of amazing organisations that work in Palestine (and please continue supporting them if you can).
>>> See updates about this fundraiser at the end of the page <<<
Yet now, I would also like to invite you to participate in a direct fundraiser that I myself am organising.
What I mean by that is that I am collecting contributions that I will then pass to my friend who lives in Cairo but has family in Gaza. He is fortunately able to send funds to them without the oftentimes draconian commissions.
His family will then pass the funds to the families who are in the most dire need of support, and who all already live in tents.
I myself will cover any fees incurred while passing your contributions to my friend’s account, so please know it is the full amount of whatever you are willing to send that will reach the families.
I know that, after almost two years of this genocide, initiatives like this one might seem less and less effective. But this is when they are needed the most — let’s not allow any empathy and solidarity fatigue to take over.
Be someone who joins in.
And please know any amount makes a difference.
And let’s remember: we’re not saving or helping anyone.
We are standing in solidarity.
We are sharing what we have with our brothers and sisters.
Because we would like our brothers and sisters around the world to do the same for us.

Alternatively, send me a message on social media or comment on where you see this announcement:
Thank you all for your trust in this process and for choosing to be part of this beautiful and so painfully needed initiative.
PS. Thank you all who have contributed to and spread the word about this fundraiser! We have quickly collected 966 EUR (updated: September 29, 2025), which I have passed to my friend, and his family has passed it to those in most need in Gaza.
I will be back in Egypt in September 2026 and will pass anything I have collected by then to my friend again.
I am also inviting you to contribute to another fundraiser for my friend who evacuated from Gaza and currently lives in Cairo here 🙏🏽
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️

A Must-Watch Interview on Palestinian Armed Resistance and Israel’s Iron Dome
This interview is an absolute must: Jeremy Scahill talks to Senator Ro Khanna about the U.S.’s continuous support for Israel and whether Palestinians, too, have the right to armed resistance. It reveals so much of what we have been seeing: one’s unwillingness to bring full accountability to the Israeli regime.
On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And The BBC’s Irresistible Desire to Quote Israel
We’ve had enough of the propaganda of the occupier being repeated by the legacy media. And when it still gives airtime to unsubstantiated claims by the Israeli government regarding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya even as his life is at risk, we should be enraged.
How to Make (No) Sense of The New Lebanese Agreement with Israel
As the Lebanese government signs an agreement with Israel, seemingly disregarding the leverage Iran is currently granting them, what does this all mean? What does it mean for Hezbollah, Lebanese resistance, and the future of the country itself?
