Connecting Gaza

Urgent: Gaza is Drowning — Your Help is Needed Now open.substack.com/pub/connecting… “We are shivering from the cold. The tents are flooded. My children and I are drowning.” These are the real-time messages from families in Gaza as devastating storms bring devastation.

“Here we are, the people of Palestine, distinguished by chivalry, dignity, pride, and steadfastness. We are the stubborn people who refuse to be broken in the face of the might of the war machine and starvation.”—Maryam from Gaza open.substack.com/pub/connecting…

Welcome to our newsletter! For over two years, the families we serve have endured siege, starvation, and relentless violence. Yet their defiance—and your solidarity—has forged lifelines where governments fail. This newsletter is our shared act of witness.open.substack.com/pub/connecting…

"This is what my husband bought for food. There are no vegetables or meat."—T, a Palestinian mother displaced in Egypt with her two daughters. The children’s father is still in Gaza. Visit ConnectingGaza.org/Donate to support Palestinian families.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the modern state of Israel is not what’s in the Bible. It’s not a screen for you to project your religious fantasies onto. Real people live there and are suffering horribly because of your delusions.

@Mo7ammed_jawad6 Free Palestine! 🇵🇸

Unfortunately I had to cancel all my upcoming events in the United States as I felt unsafe traveling, especially after watching students and university professors abducted on the street just in front of other people. I had 16 events scheduled for the next five weeks (at Stanford, Columbia, NYU, and Cornell among other places). You cannot imagine how much I was waiting to meet you all, friends and others. But canceling events is not more heartbreaking than watching Israel’s brutal canceling of my people’s lives in Gaza. I even don’t feel safe going out to pick up my kids from school. These threats made online against me and my family are vile. And the serious threats and actions against free speech are even more vile.
