Tahseen Tawfiq is trying to raise enough money to evacuate his family (consisting of multiple very young children) from Gaza. Unfortunately they're still far from their goal, but remember that even a little counts!
Excerpt from Gofundme:
Now, we are find ourselves in a constant state of fear and uncertainty, living in cramped quarters, struggling to make ends meet, and haunted by the memories of what we are endured. But amidst the darkness, we are refuse to lose hope. we are cling to our dreams, however distant they may seem, and strive to create a better future for our children.
Celebrities boycotting campaign made a lot of celebs who were silent finally speak up, but we all can see how tacky and slipshod a lot of their posts are, they disgustingly show how careless they are and how they don't have a corn of honour inside of them.
First of all, it is great that this campaign happened so that you finally remember to open your mouth and to use your damn power and so that you remember who you are and what made you.
Second of all, when you talk about it use the words 'palestine, Gaza, Rafah, Israel genocide' and so on, I mean how would we know it is Palestine you are talking about when your post is blurry and cracky and it's sort of far away from talking exactly about Palestine, thanks to the hashtag you put in the end of the post otherwise your lame way of talking about this wouldn't be understood.
And, third of all, "praying for Palestine" is not the only thing we can do, no you can't convince us with such stupidity, you have a massive power in your hands, when you talk people listen, where you point people see, so you definitely must do something with this power. Adding to the money you can donate, you are so fucking rich that you can save various families at once and your wealth will not be touched so do it, donate to the fundraising campaigns and stop acting so lame as if you don't have money enough to take you to space. (Maybe you can even talk about how disgusting it is that a person needs that amount of money to escape with his life).
the fact that Israel can precisely target ONE apartment in an entire residential block in BEIRUT to kill two hamas leaders, proves once again that they CHOSE to carpet-bomb Gaza and murder 31.000 Palestinians to "defend themselves" against Hamas. Israel CHOSE to kill civilians, they CHOSE to bomb every hospital, every school, every refugee camp, every residential block. israel does NOTHING to spare the lives of palestinians, they want to thin out the population of gaza so they'd be able to settle their citizens there.
this is a genocide it's an ethnical cleansing PLEASE WAKE UP don't stop talking about Palestine it is not a trend, people are still dying, Israel has no plan to stop if WE don't force it to, through public pressure and protesting and boycotting. it's the least we can do.
it is so incredibly sad to constantly see kids on instagram and tiktok who are younger than my brother have to literally beg for shelter, food, water, medicine, and their right to exist as human beings
i mean, this young girl is only ten years old, yet she is essentially responsible for convincing random people scrolling through instagram that her and her family’s life are worth fighting for
on top of that, their gofundme is not even 10% funded and time is running out, please if you can’t donate, just share
I feel I should specify when I talk about the vast majority of Israelis supporting this genocide it's not to call for violence of them or even to demonise them. It's to call attention to Israel having a genocidal education system which dehumanises Palestinians from the moment Israelis start school. Ilan Pappé did a study in 1994 of the Israeli education system and raised the alarm that it would raise a generation who are even worse than those who first colonised Palestine in 1948. We're seeing the truth of that now.
I raise this point because we're seeing this attempt by politicians and the media to claim that it's just Netanyahu who is to blame for this genocide and not a systematic problem that requires boycotting, divestments and sanctions to push them to correct. This lie is being pushed because they do not want to change the status quo which allows for Israel to steal Palestinian land and homes and keep Palestinians under military occupation.
