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).
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.
If you are able and willing to contribute, please submit this form and I will send you what is needed to do so safely and securely.
New addition:
You can also use this link to make a card payment.
(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.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️

What, According to My Government, Other Countries Can Learn from Israel
This is the most straightforward way I can put it: just like there are countries in history known for their collaboration with the Nazi regime, my country, Lithuania, has inscribed itself as one of the staunchest supporters of Israel, no matter the scale, depravity, or geography of its crimes. See if my rage resonates with…

What Israel’s Destruction of Lebanon Is Showing Us Painfully Clearly
When Israel shows only contempt for what its greater ally wants, we need no more proof is there’s anything above Israel’s colonial expansionist ambitions.
