@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotDear everyone
Ghada Elkhalili is an orphan, the eldest surviving member of her family. She is supporting six other family members in a tent close to the yellow line in northern #Gaza. I have been in touch with her for some months; other people in Gaza whom I'm in touch with and who know her have verified her story.
She is receiving very little support; in the past month she's had …
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotFriends in #Gaza, I am not able to send money to all of you. I am personally making gifts mainly to single parents, who are living in tents, and who are verified by the @… team.
If you are verified, I will boost your posts, even if I cannot afford to give t…

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotToday, I made gifts to some people in need in #Gaza, as I try to do every Wednesday. None of the people I gave to today had received anything at all since my last gift.
What I can afford to give is nowhere near enough to keep a single person alive, let alone a family.
And, of course, there are many other people begging me for aid, whom I can't afford to give to.
The situation in…

@aral@mastodon.ar.alSo a Palestinian facing genocide autocompletes a hashtag incorrectly by mistake (#doctor -> #doctorWho) and you jump down her throat?
How about you get some fucking perspective, Angela?

@Life_is@no-pony.farm @life_is@no-pony.farm @simon_brooke@mastodon.scotIt's worth saying that the reason I am able to be generous to friends in #Gaza is that other friends are generous to me. And the gift of the ability to be generous is a very great gift indeed.
You know who you are. Thanks!
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotDear people in #Gaza
I know your situation is very bad, but there are many thousands of you.
I can afford to make only three gifts each week, and those will inevitably mostly go to people I already know. So no, I almost certainly cannot support you by sending you money.
If you send me private appeals, I can't share them. I am now receiving so many private appeals that I cannot…
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scot @aral@mastodon.ar.al @simon_brooke@mastodon.scotFriends in #Gaza, I am already giving money to as many families as I can. I cannot give to anyone new.
What I can and will do is boost public appeals which you make which mention me, but only if your account is verified by @…
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotI gave two of the three gifts I can afford to give this week to #Gaza, to people I already know and regularly communicate with; I woke up this morning thinking I knew who I would give the third gift to.
But I've just learned of a young unmarried woman living in a tent, caring for younger siblings (and I think some other people, I'm not yet fully clear). She appears to have no support at…

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotAre there any immigration lawyers in the house? What's the situation just now with getting Palestinians from #Gaza refugee status in the UK? You'd think, for people suffering #GazaGenocide, it ought to be pretty much automatic, but given our xenophobic, pro-Israeli government, it wouldn't …
