Wanted to let you guys know that Let’s Talk Palestine has just launched fundsforgaza, an initiative created for the purpose of highlighting families in urgent need of emergency funds. This list highlights families who’re trying to evacuate Gaza, but which aren’t getting enough attention. Please donate if you can—and whether or not you can, spread this to as many people as possible. The delay between this second and the next could make a difference in whether a family gets to live or not.

It's here, It's finally translated!
If you want to know more about Palestine and Israel, and you don't like reading, or you don't want to be informed by strictly Arabic sources, or if you want to know about the countre arguments to zionists ideologies, or you want something lighthearted because God knows we're all too depressed right now,
This will be great for you!
youtube
Al Da7ee7 is basically the Arabian V sauce, but with a mixture of science, history, and more lighthearted.
The episode tells the history of this genocide by both disproving the Israeli myths and using a chronological order of events.
It's one hour long, but it's divided into segments, and you can watch them separately
It has so much information that even if you're an Arab and know this whole story, you should still watch it. It has more information than what an average Arab knows. You can use such information to argue with zionists online.
And it will be great to educate younger generations too, because it's not too bleak.
Just turn on the YouTube subtitles. It's the official subtitles made by the team

“We know of course there’s really no such thing as the ‘voiceless’. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.”

People in Ljubljana, Slovenia, have filled Republic Square, which is right across the street from the parliament building (visible in the first picture), with snow mounds representing Palestinians killed by Israel, and yesterday, they started lighting candles. They noted that in order to light a candle for every Palestinian who's lost their life in Gaza in the last months, they would've needed 25 thousand (way more than they could realistically manage).

A selection of works by Palestinian artist Heba Zagout.
Heba was killed by an Israeli airstrike on her home in Gaza along with 2 of her children, on October 13th, 2023. She was only 39. Her dream was to exhibit her art around the world. We can still make that come true. Would you please help me? Spread Heba's art, tell your friends about her, preserve her legacy.
Heba studied graphic design and had a passion for vibrant colors. She spent her life painting scenery of Palestine, including cities she'd never even been to because she was confined in Gaza. Her work features many symbols of Palestinian culture, such as the Dome of the Rock, olive trees, domed stone houses, adjoining mosque minarets and church spires, red poppies (national flower of Palestine), and tatreez - the unique embroidered patterns traditionally worn by Palestinian women.
This is a small selection of my favorites, but you can find much more on her IG, @zagoutheba.
Rest in power. Free Palestine.

This is the Palestine Film Institute website, it offers free access to multiple shorts, documentaries, films etc, as well as suggestions and a long list of cinematic art made by Palestinians.
This is Aflamuna, a non-profit platform dedicated to sharing independent films from the Arab region with audiences worldwide. Handpicked cult, classic, contemporary, and sometimes unreleased films that are mostly inaccessible to the public are made available free of charge every week. It has one of the most impactful Palestinian movies.
