As someone living through this genocide in Gaza, I ask you to understand that people here do not send many mentions or messages because they want to. They do it because it is often the last way we have left to survive. When the world is silent and aid becomes scarce, asking for help becomes our last hope.
Many families here have lost everything: homes, work, safety, and even food.

@nada_eid_88 Yes, I understand that. Others do not and you are right to explain your situation to them.
I never block Palestinians, precisely because of what you say. They didn't choose their situation and they have no other choice.
With my previous post, I'm trying to speak to those who would block you. I do this to help Palestinians, to increase your reach.
On Bluesky and other hostile social media, your accounts were deleted. But Mastodon is friendly to Palestinians. Here we build initiatives like #GazaVerified and https://gaza-verified.org/donate and thus mentioning people is no longer your only choice to reach people. We who support Palestine are working on solutions so that you no longer need to say "we have no other choice but to mass-mention people". Together we can build a better future for Palestine, but for that we need that the people in the West place their trust in us and what we build. And if that trust is undermined, we need to explain that to Palestinians and work with them, so that we can effectively help them survive the genocide. Your survival is our primary goal.
