Did You Know: While usually vicious predators, nix-hounds are well-known to be affectionate, attentive, and faithful pets?
Hello, I am Reem. I live with my husband and my two lovely children, Malik and Hassan. They deserve to live in safety and security, like other children in the world,,
We had a beautiful house. We lived in it with our bodies and our souls lived in it with all love and peace...
We have many beautiful memories ther
But the Zionist occupation does not care about all the humanity we live in..
He bombed our house on the evening of the second day of December 2023 while we were sleeping.
In an instant... life was turned upside down... a huge explosion... and complete darkness... and screaming and panic from everyone... and choking dust... and fire... and the flying of stones, windows, doors and glass... those of us who died died, and those who were injured were injured and those who survived... Survived by the amazing kindness of God..
We left everything behind and all that remained were memories and nostalgia,
In light of these difficult circumstances...
My husband lost his job as a psychological counselor due to the disruption of his educational career.
In addition, he aspires to continue his studies
Completing a doctoral degree abroad.
After completing his master's degree in Gaza years ago
As for me, because of my faith in God, I have overcome some of this traumatic event, but I see in my children some of the symptoms of psychological trauma.
I try to do everything I can to make things easier so that our lives are no longer as they were.
Now, for six months, we have been suffering the bitterness of this life
We live with the difficulties of living
There is no shelter, no healthy food, no healthy water, and no electricity.
We are exposed to danger. There is no safety or reassurance in Gaza.
We feel afraid as a result of the continuous bombing and the loud sounds of explosions.
Finally, I ask you to help and support me and my small family in traveling to find a decent, stable life away from this Zionist crime and genocide, after we have no place left to shelter..
Of course, it is very difficult to leave your homeland, but we are forced to do so due to the bad conditions here.
Note that travel costs are far beyond our capacity, as the Egyptian government at the Rafah crossing... takes travel coordination costs of between 5,000 and 8,000 dollars per person, whether young or old... Thank you very much.

Here are 10 tips to transform your white social justice movement or center:
1) Never tolerate racism in any form. This includes racist jokes among the whites, harassing POC, covering up racist incidents [no matter how miniscule]. We cannot allow racist culture to take over an organization, it makes hypocrites of all white activists in social justice and Left radical tendencies. Such people have to be challenged and expelled from the movement.
2) Make sure all POC inside your organizations have a full voice, and internal organization of their own, and assure them that the anti-racist whites have got their back.
3) Make sure that there is an independent anti-racist movement inside the organization which can put maximum pressure on the leaders of the organization to make major changes, or else close down shop.
4) Never back away or withdraw from a racist group, you have the absolute duty to stay and fight within a racist structure to transform it, or smash it in the internal fight over racism. You must organize others to work with you, both whites and POC, and build a powerful caucus which can check the leaders and racist members of the board.
5) Force the group to deal with anti-racism/anti-colonialism as the core concern of the group, no matter what else is on the agenda.
6) Make the group unite with the political agenda of POC, and their liberation movements, and force the group to provide these POC organizations with material and political support, without any preconditions.
7) Make the white social justice group raise issues that effect communities of color, and not just a white rights agenda.
8) Make sure that when a broad-based social change movement or project is being created, that the group contacts and attempts to bring in POC groups at the planning stages, so it can be known if racism is a problem from the very beginning, and to give them a voice.
9) Use your white privilege and build an anti-racist liberation support movement, accountable to POC communities and organizations.
10) Do not hire, or allow the group to hire Black and other POCs just for window dressing in social change movement, but give them the power and room to do their jobs without interference from jealous or racist members of the group. Make sure that they have all the support and backing of the group, and do not have to demean or prostitute themselves to keep the job. Do not allow them to be fired without any support or struggle.
These are not infallible suggestions for either nonprofit progressive groups or white radical organizations, and they are certainly not the answer in every situation you will encounter. You may not even be able to reform or transform your group into an actual anti-racist organization, and if not, you must work to smash it, rather than let it stay alive and continue to commit crimes against the people.
Sometimes that is the only thing to be done, and if it is, brace yourself and fight. What you cannot do is just give up, or run away in a cowardly fashion. It seems too many white activists do this first, and take off without resolving any conflict. This kind of disgusting performance does no one any good. You didn’t stand up, and you did not have the courage of your convictions. You left the racist mess intact, and played the role that the other whites in control expect out of you, you surrendered to racism. They can smugly know that you can’t handle confrontation, and do not really support POC when it comes down to it. It’s just an act or mind game you play with yourself and others. It does not have to be this way at all, of course, in fact now you have the chance to prove them all wrong. Fight racism and colonialism!
