i source these links directly from tumblr accounts made by palestinians, all posts have original images of the family and aftermath on them so do not claim with any audacity that these are fake

Just so ya know, others have been collecting long lists of Palestinians in need for years:

https://www.instagram.com/amongtherubblecollective/

https://www.canva.com/design/DAGA5CU...iPYk1Z-Ag/view

The insta account has links to other lists as well. The insta account apparently vets folks being donated to, though I'm unsure about the second link.

Just also be aware that there are a ton of people pretending to be Palestinians in need and setting up fake gofundme pages for their own gain. It's especially easy to do because gofundme doesn't allow Palestinians to setup accounts for transfer of money themselves; all money has to go through a third party and then either trickled to Palestinians through paypal, transported through some european contact, or given to Egyptian customs as a bribe for evacuation. It's extremely tough to know which are legit. Just... be careful.

Is there anything that people who aren't in a position to financially help can do? I think adding that to the thread would be a good idea.

I will be sharing these links within some other internet communities I am a part of and encourage others who aren't in a position to help financially do the same

This is entirely location dependent. A good thing to think about when considering "making an impact" is acting local, hyperlocal if possible. You will have the most impact on the communities around you in your everyday life.

With that in mind, if you live in the US and have picked the genocide of Palestinians as your tragedy of interest, then putting pressure on the US gov to end arms shipments/sales to Israel is going to have a decent impact. This can include electoral efforts like writing to elected officials (senators, governors, house reps). It can include demonstrations to inspire your community to go out and do these things. It can include direct action... which I won't elaborate on. There are probably local orgs and groups you can get involved with. Look for ones which center Palestinians of course (like BDS), though there are leftist and anti-zionist jewish orgs (like JVP) which do similar work.

If you don't live in the US or all of the above feel like more effort than you have in you, boycotting Israeli goods can be helpful. Do research into where products come from, be vocal about zionist companies and shipping lines and inspire others to boycott those as well.

There's not much else that can be done unfortunately. Most of us live quite far from the situation. Those that live closeby are either helping in-person, dying, or gearing up for war.

Lastly, I wanna mention that it can be easy to get stuck thinking about what is going to have the biggest impact. A lot of folks who have been organizing against these large, complex systems for a long time will tell you that "diversity of tactics" is incredibly important. There are a lot of humans out there. A lot of people doing this kind of work, taking it from just about every angle imaginable. All methods have their merits and if only one or two were picked, they'd be easier for 'opponents' to dismantle. Whatever you do will be helpful and will contribute to the overall goal; don't let decision paralysis stop you.

This is my biggest take away from this, thank you. I'll be able to boycott anything that puts profits into the wrong hands with a bit of simple research and another thing is music is a huge passion of mine and fairly soon I will be doing street performances with my partner meaning that if I am ever able to generate an audience I can use this as well for a positive influence, thank you for the inspiration
