A few days ago Noor Hammad, a young woman in Gaza I've been speaking to for more than a year, asked me to interview her. We spoke about life in Mawasi, how Gazans are trying to help each other, her hopes for the future, and her daughter. substack.com/home/post/p-16…
I've been raising money for Noor Hammad and her family in Gaza for over a year. In more than a year of genocide, the situation for them has never been as bad as it is right now. Please donate if you have something to spare. gofundme.com/f/help-noor-ha…

Remember when Alex Ryvchin told Al Jazeera that Elon Musk's "Roman salute" was just him "gesturing appreciatively to the crowd"
