Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Estoy viendo que es el Día de la Salud Mental y un poquito harto de la concienciación la verdad.

Ya no estamos en ese punto, sino en el de exigir.

El de exigir un acceso gratuito, universal y real a los servicios de salud.

De exigir que el fin de la especulación con las necesidades básicas.

One of those days where I feel like I typed the wrong words to help. Mahmoud’s wife has a baby on the way and they have two small kids- they’ve lost literally everything- any help is appreciated

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mahmoud. Mahmoud was a computer engineer doing web development before this. He’s lost his job and home (and many coworkers) and is in a tent with his family including his children Zeina, 6 and Zane, 2. His wife Malak is 7 months pregnant.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
