Both @Aseelsehwel and @mohshbair are being displaced yet again and forced to move South as Israel continues its genocide and wholesale destruction of Gaza with the complicity of our inhumane governments in the West.

Please keep them in your thoughts.

And please donate to their fundraisers if you can.

You can find both of them on Gaza Verified: https://gaza-verified.org

Since they won’t have Internet access on the road, I don’t know when I’ll hear from them again. And it worries me to no end.

I’ll let you all know when I do hear word – hopefully – that they are safe and sound.

The UK hates antisemitism so much that here they are arresting the daughter of a Holocaust survivor for protesting Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Wait, no that doesn’t make sense… so maybe they don’t hate antisemitism but they love fascism and genocide? I guess that makes more sense given their history of colonialism and slavery.

The account at https://troet.cafe/@m7moodfamily (@m7moodfamily@troet.cafe) is a scam. It’s got hundreds of posts even though it joined yesterday and it links to gaza-verified.org even though we have not verified it.

I’m also seeing copies of the account on troet.cafe and elsewhere. Be careful with any accounts that contain “moodfamily” in the name.

I reported it to troet.cafe yesterday but no action has yet been taken.

If there is a real Mahmoud family account please contact me and we’ll verify you.

If you’re the person running the scam accounts: stop! You are stealing from starving people in Gaza. Shame on you. Have you not an ounce of humanity?

Announcing Gaza Verified

https://gaza-verified.org

I’ve been having video conversations over Signal with people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts on the fediverse in an effort to vouch for their authenticity.

This week, I whipped up a site to formalise this and to enable them to add a verified link to their Mastodon bios. Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of time they need to spend proving that their accounts genuinely belong to a person suffering through genocide and famine in Gaza and help them with their fundraisers.

The first four accounts belong to:

• @Aseelsehwel
• @NouranKhaledGh
• @joynewacc
• @mohshbair

If you want to get on the site, please contact me. See the guide for more information: https://gaza-verified.org/guide

Please share and donate to their fundraisers if you can.

Thank you!

💕

@Aseelsehwel @NouranKhaledGh @mohshbair @palestine A quick announcement that I’m very excited about: @joynewacc and I are going to run Gaza Verified together now and we’ll both be present during the video chats.

I’ll update the site as soon as I can to reflect this.

Thank you so much for volunteering to help in the middle of everything else, Joy. You’re amazing :)

“The gates of hell are now opening” – who said it best, Satan or the Israeli defense minister?

To the morally-vacuous West: these are the monsters you call your friends and allies. Hang your heads in shame, you decaying husks of humanity. This is your genocide every bit as much as Israel’s. And it will haunt you forever.

It's #BandcampFriday, and I want to remind folks that I'm giving away proceeds from this EP to families and individuals in Gaza, thanks to gazafunds.com and now @aral's Gaza Verified project. You can name your price, or you can download for free and give some money to someone in Gaza yourself. 😊 I hope these songs will renew your hope that one day Palestine will be free.
