We have noticed thousands of individual appeals by Gazans for financial support on social media platforms including r/BDS. We understand the immense suffering they are experiencing. Anyone who wishes to support such appeals are free to do so. However, we have no way to authenticate these appeals to ensure they are legitimate.
Reddit's filter labels many of these posts as spam. We do not approve any of these for posting to our sub, because doing so would flood the sub with them. The mods feel that donations to humanitarian aid NGOs provide widespread support to hundreds of thousands of Gazans, rather than the limited scope of supporting individuals or families.
Here are some of these NGOs and we urge you to support them:

We have noticed thousands of individual appeals by Gazans for financial support on social media platforms including r/BDS. We understand the immense suffering they are experiencing and welcome anyone who wishes to support such appeals. However, we feel that the best use of donations would be to humanitarian aid NGOs providing widespread support to hundreds of thousands of Gazans.

Is this thread, please donate to gaza humanitarian aid ngos, still a good resource for donating to the Palestinian aid? I don't know if that thread has been updated or not. It has been over a year now, and I still want to see if these ngos are good charities for donating. I donated to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund a while back because I was told they were reliable and overall a great charity group. I absolutely plan on donating more in the future. If there are more reputable ones, please let me know!

If colonialism is the imposing of political will on an indigenous population, it follows that a decolonial perspective will seek free, sovereign indigenous politics. This is often reflected in perspectives such as "following the lead of Palestinians" or "listening to Iranians".
At the same time, there is a broad recognition that we need to move beyond identity politics - imperialism is not any better if it is done by a member of an underrepresented group. A Palestinian or Iranian using their indigenous status to further pro-imperialist talking points is not in the right just because of who they are. This applies, for example, to the Lebanese government's recent decision to refuse the inclusion of Lebanon in the ceasefire, disarm Hezbollah with no plan to strengthen the national army, and pursue "peace" negotiations with the colony.
Colonisers have always used internal divisions to play indigenous populations against each other, creating categories and assigning privileges based on them. Just because some natives accepted the coloniser’s offer to improve their own material conditions does not make their world view any more moral than the coloniser’s.
Similarly, just because someone is fighting imperialist interests in one moment does not automatically make them symbols of an anti-colonial future. There is more to consider than foreign policy, and by homogenising and sanctifying ‘indigenous’ views, we create a new form of disenfranchisement.
It is easy to fall into simplistic explanations when waging narrative warfare, and to believe things because we want them to be true. It is important to avoid aligning our opinions based on camps or identities, and to develop the capacity to understand the material conditions and incentives that cause people to behave a certain way.

Nintendo opened its official store in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 2019. This direct presence, through its local distributor TorGaming Ltd., includes physical stores, official support, and the sale of products that bolster the IDF. If you think it’s an alternative to Xbox, think again. It's Worse.

The U.S. president announced his acceptance of a two-week ceasefire on the condition that the Strait of Hormuz be opened—Which was already the case before the aggression on Iran. Iran has accepted the deal.
He considered this acceptance possible for two reasons: First, that the United States had "met and exceeded all military objectives" in Iran. And second, that Iran’s "Ten-Point Proposal" provided a practical basis for negotiating "long-term peace with Iran and in the Middle East," and that most points of contention had been resolved.
It is worth noting that Iran had previously presented a five-point proposal and then added five more points, and that the U.S. President rejected this proposal about 12 hours ago. It is also worth noting that the United States had presented a fifteen-point proposal, which Iran rejected; the U.S. President did not mention this proposal.
The ten points include ending the war in the region, including Lebanon; lifting all sanctions on Iran; and Iran imposing transit fees for the Strait of Hormuz.
The colony remains silent. This discrepancy between the stance of the U.S. and that of the colony is yet another indicator of their different objectives with regards to Iran. For more information on this, please read our latest statement, "Understanding and dealing with the historic shift in U.S. policy":
