Despite the conditions, Gazan university students are still pursuing their degrees via remote learning.
This is particularly tricky due to scarce internet access, insufficient power to operate their devices, as well as unavailability of spaces in which to study.
Mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 is one such student, and he decided to start a campaign to support fellow students in Gaza. It is now live at @isnadgaza.
Isnad (Arabic for “support”) has the following goals:
Cover the rent of a study room for 15 students.
Provide consistent power supply to 15 students.
Obtain any additional necessities, such as stationery.
Mahmoud, whose account is vetted, is personally checking and selecting the beneficiaries to ensure it supports those who have no other means of studying. You can message him if you have any additional questions.
The first goal is to cover the first two months of rent. Please donate here:
some of you care about dunking on individual zionists more than a) challenging Zionism as the violent colonial terrorism it is and b) more than supporting Palestinians. People like Trump, Gal Gadot, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Schumer, Jamie Lee Curtis, and whoever the fuck else - their Zionism isn’t just an excuse to call them losers. It’s a form of terrorism they’re lending their social and political capital to in order to legitimise and further enact that terrorism. Moreover, calling Gal Gadot a shit actor (while incredibly true and accurate) and calling it a day isn’t anti-Zionist enough. Support Palestinians, uplift Palestinians as much as you shit on Zionists otherwise what’s the point. Speaking of which here is a GoFundMe campaign supporting over 80 Palestinian families in Gaza and the West Bank that still hasn’t reached its goal. Support Palestinian art, film, academia, etc too. Read Mohammed El Kurd’s latest book, Perfect Victims. In light of the testimony from survivors of the IOF’s latest massacre Palestinian paramedics, remember Zionism isn’t just something that gives you an excuse to call out celebrities. Zionism is terrorism. Zionism is genocide. May we see and and keep fighting for a free Palestine in our lifetimes.
