Watch my daughter’s story as she speaks as a Palestinian child who dreams of living like the children of the world, with a safe life away from bombing, destruction and a sense of danger.
My daughter, Dalin, was deprived of the most basic rights, such as education. She entered school in the first grade for one month, because of the war on Gaza.
Her only wish is for you to stand with us and help us by traveling as quickly as possible, saving her family and all of us going out to live a life without danger or losing any of us.
My daughter is like your children. Help us by donating through the gofundme campaign, and we ask you to save us before it is too late.
Please donate generously before the Israeli army enters Rafah, and share the post so that it reaches the largest number of good people.
Feel for us, my friends, and fulfill Dalin's wish, to live a safe life

sansa exists as a representation of traditional femininity in the sense that she has the personality traits that are considered "feminine" and enjoys all activities that are deemed "for women" in westeros, but also in the sense that femininity is a performance. she is a character that has to constantly overthink her appearance, her behavior and her words to see if they conform to people's expectations of a proper lady and a well behaved hostage, she has to endure horrors while forcing herself to smile and please because expressing her honest self would get her in serious trouble. sansa is traditionally feminine because she is first and foremost a performer whose life depends on looking pretty and pleasant to people who have power over her.

“Americans are paranoiac on the question of homosexuality. I’ve loved a few men and a few women. Love comes in very strange packages. The trick is to say yes to life.”
— James Baldwin, in James Baldwin from Another Place (1973), directed by Sedat Pakay

In the early afternoon of 29 November last year, several Palestinian boys descended on to their street in the occupied West Bank, where they often played together.Minutes later, two of them lay dead from gunshots fired by Israeli soldiers - Basil, 15, and eight-year-old Adam. As part of an investigation into the conduct of Israel's security forces in the West Bank, which has been under military occupation for more than half a century, the BBC has pieced together what happened on the day the two boys were killed. Mobile phone and CCTV footage, information about the movements of Israel's military, witness testimony and detailed investigation of the scene, including taking measurements, combine to reveal evidence suggesting serious human rights violations. The evidence we found has prompted Ben Saul, UN special rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism, to say the death of Adam appears to be a "war crime".Another legal expert, Dr Lawrence Hill-Cawthorne, described the use of lethal force as “indiscriminate”. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the circumstances of the deaths were “under review” but said “live fire is used only in order to remove immediate threats or for arrest purposes, following arrest protocols after exhausting other options”.
Video footage from 29 November shows Basil standing next to a hardware store, its shutters firmly locked down. When Israel's military arrives, shops close quickly in Jenin, a city in the West Bank - Palestinian territory which, unlike Gaza, is not run by Hamas. Witnesses said gunfire had been ringing out from a nearby operation by Israel's army in the Jenin refugee camp. Adam, a football fanatic and massive Lionel Messi fan, stood with his older brother Baha, 14. There were about nine boys on the street in total, all captured on CCTV cameras that provided a nearly 360-degree view of what happened next.

A few hundred metres away, a convoy of at least six armoured Israeli military vehicles turned a corner and began heading towards the boys, who clearly became uneasy. Several of the boys started to move away. At this precise moment, mobile phone footage shows the front door of an armoured vehicle opened. The soldier inside had a direct view of the boys. Basil had darted into the middle of the road, while Adam was 12m further from the soldiers, running away. Then at least 11 gunshots rang out.
Tumblr media
Medical reports obtained by the BBC show that two shots hit Basil in the chest. Another bullet struck eight-year-old Adam in the back of the head as he ran away; his older brother Baha desperately tried to drag him to cover, leaving a trail of blood as he screamed for an ambulance.

Zionists tried to get the police to swat the McGill encampment. Not only was the injunction thrown out, the mayor of the city came out to say that she won't send the swat on a group of peaceful protesters!

At Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center in Abbotsford, B.C., the number of small mammals and birds in need of care is already overwhelming. “We can have 50 in here easily. Baby robins, baby this, baby that,” Elizabeth Melnick, the owner of Elizabeth’s Wildlife Center told Global News. Melnick and other staff never turn animals away and care for injured, orphaned wild birds and small mammals and have done so since 1986. “I don’t even know how many animals we have in here right now and it’s just going to get busier, and busier and busier,” Kristie Johnson, a staff member said. But the ability to pay for added staff and supplies has reached the breaking point.
