This is a public service announcement for all the dollar-store Sherlock Holmes’s out there who clearly have nothing better to do than to concoct conspiracy theories about people from Gaza on the fediverse who are faced with genocide and famine:
Stop.
Have some humanity.
Case in point, do not do what Daniel (@helmet91@mastodon.social) is doing here:
https://mastodon.social/@helmet91/115158104880965232
Here’s someone going out of their way to discredit Nouran and her brother Yousef ( @NouranKhaledGh). I’ve spoken with Nouran and Yousef over video on Signal and we’ve verified them on:
They are real. They are from Gaza. I’m in touch with them daily. They haven’t been able to evacuate yet.
They need your help.
And what is Daniel doing? Examining bloody shadows in video footage like some tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorist attempting to disprove that the moon landings ever happened.
And writing blog posts about it:
https://helmet91.com/post/how-not-to-get-scammed
Stop it, Daniel. Stop and think about what you’re doing.
This isn’t some computer game.
These are real people. Who are in danger. And need our help. And you’re not helping.
PS. You can show your love and support for Nouran, her brother Yousef, and their whole family by following her here: @NouranKhaledGh, sending some words of solidarity, donating to their fundraiser, and sharing it so others can help too.

Good morning everyone.
One million people are facing imminent death and destruction at the hands of Israel in Gaza.¹
Israel has issued evacuation orders for one million people. These are people who have been displaced over and over again in Israel’s ongoing genocide. They have nowhere left to go. To move South costs thousands of dollars to rent land, a tent, and sanitation due to war-time profiteering.² That’s if they can get someone outside of Palestine to host their fundraiser and if they can keep their social media accounts from being shut down by mainstream Big Tech platforms and after paying half the donation amount or more in commission while withdrawing the funds that are sent to them.
Things are desperate.
Mastodon and the fediverse are the last lifeline for people from Gaza. It’s their last chance of reaching us in the outside world so that we might help them survive the genocide and famine being wrought out by Israel.
@joynewacc and I are having video conversations with people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts every day to verify them in hopes that this will help them raise funds to live.
You can find the verified accounts on Gaza Verified:
I hope you will follow them on the fediverse, perhaps send them a few words of love and solidarity so they know they’re not alone but that there are some of us that see, hear, love and support them.
And, if you can, please support their fundraisers, boost their posts, and share their accounts.
Thank you in advance for making our friends from Gaza who are facing unspeakable horrors welcome on the fediverse and for showing that humanity is not entirely dead in the rest of the world.
💕
PS. Please note that many Palestinians use automated translation tools, including AI-based ones so you might notice issues with translation or even transliteration (so, for example, a name is written Eman in one place but Iman in another). Also, not everyone is social media or technically savvy. These are everyday people trying to survive a genocide and a famine so please understand that there might be issues with the accounts. That doesn’t mean that they’re not genuine. If you have any concerns, you can talk to me. (Furthermore, there are concerted efforts by some groups to spread FUD about Palestinian accounts with the goal of getting them all shut down. If you notice any such behaviour, please also alert me. To server admins: closing their accounts is tantamount to handing out a death sentence. We’re here to help if you need it.)
PPS. If you know of any people from Gaza with Mastodon accounts who are not on Gaza Verified, please tell them about it. You can give them a link to https://gaza-verified.org/guide-arabic/ with further information. The guide also includes a list of Mastodon servers whose admins have publicly stated that their servers are safe spaces for Palestinians to open accounts so please feel free to share that with people from Gaza who are having their accounts closed on Bluesky and elsewhere. You can find the English version of the guide here: https://gaza-verified.org/guide/

But war has taken away even this simple right — the right to education. Tulin, a creative girl who loves drawing, dreams of her own colors, while Waleed, who needs special care, was denied his first school experience. My children deserve to learn, play, and dream of a better future. Please support them and bring back a little hope. 💙

The occupation demands the evacuation of Gza City—over 1 million people. Imagine: each family needs nearly $5,000 just to flee—paying for transport, a tent, a small rented plot of land, and even a makeshift bathroom. They ask for the impossible! Families have nothing, not even the choice to survive. Even those who wish to leave can’t afford it. What are people supposed to do? #Genocide #ForcedDisplacement #StopTheOccupation #GazaUnderAttack

Just a small tip for donors: Gofundme and Chuffed platforms (payment page) don't work well with Firefox's extensions like Privacy badger and uBlock. To make them work, disable them temporarily or add them to the exception list. Nevertheless, this is only a minor inconvenience and shouldn't distract people from donations.
