Emergency Appeal for Palestinians

Here’s the realistic vision of text Avaaz originally shared to Avaaz community.

The revisited text read:

 Mustafa Barghouti: Israel's Siege & Bombing of Gaza Are War Crimes!

Gaza is essentially the world’s largest open air prison for more than 16 years, a small territory where 2 million people lived in and it's being brutally bombed to dust because simply there’s militants around of Hamas is there any sanity in this?

Half of Gaza's population are children.

Israel's military has already dropped over 6,000 JDAM bombs, hitting schools, homes, buildings, basements, banks, water and Electricity station, hospitals and evacuation routes. It's kids running from the missiles and being crushed under the rubble. JDAM Bombs do kill them and destroy buildings and infrastructures, food and water are running out, and hospitals will soon have no electricity.

Residential Building In Gaza Strip Collapses After Israeli Strike In Response To Hamas Attack:

Now the UN is warning of potential genocide.

The horror perpetrated by Israel and Hamas is unthinkable. But Gaza's children are innocent. We have the same responsibility to all children and civilians no matter which side of the barbed-wire fence they're standing on. Gaza's children and civilians need help. OUR help.

Israelis Must Maintain Their Humanity Even When Their Blood Boils:

Avaaz is in contact with Palestinian doctors and nurses still working as the bombs fall.

Injuries are catastrophic, and they need urgent funding for medical supplies when and if humanitarian corridors open. We'll also fund emergency shelters, refugee camps, and medical care as violence spreads in other parts of Palestine. Together we'll empower emergency teams to keep saving lives in the ever-shifting chaos.

If you're ready to help, donate what you can now. You'll be powering a massive humanitarian response and fuelling Avaaz campaigns for justice and peace, from Palestine to Ukraine, Sudan to Myanmar. Avaaz can have funds on the ground asap.

Donate Now!

Gaza is a narrow strip of land, often called an "open-air prison" and home to roughly 2 million people. Half of them are children, their basic necessities restricted by an Israeli blockade for more than 16 years.

The children of Gaza are trapped in a crazy vicious, unhuman war they were simply born into. They have nowhere to run and bombing is set to intensify. The situation is incredibly volatile, but together we can give emergency teams the power to adapt and scale their response in the most horrifying circumstances.

Gaza needs aid, right now. And those fighting against an all out war in Israel and Palestine need a global community standing for peace and justice alongside them. Avaaz has been doing it for years along with campaigns on the war in Ukraine and Sudan's silent genocide. If we raise enough, we could:

•           Provide funding for emergency, life-saving supplies for civilians, including medicines, trauma kits, fuel, and ambulances;

•           Support Palestinian doctors, nurses, and volunteers, helping to ensure they have food and shelter as horrors unfold;   

•           As violence and instability spreads into other areas of Palestine, we'll also support emergency teams in those areas as needed;

•           Accelerate a rapid response campaign to save Palestinian and Israeli children from all out war starting with freeing the children held hostage by Israel and Hamas; and,

•           Supercharge our Human Rights Action Team to fight for justice for the victims of war, genocide, and apartheid across the world, and power Avaaz's work to make it all possible.

Wherever you are right now, this is a chance to help the children and civilians of Gaza directly. The more we raise, the more medical care, shelters, and aid we can provide. Donate what you can now:

Donate Now!

From Yemen to Syria, and again in Afghanistan, the Avaaz community has been a powerful voice for innocent children caught in the ravages of war. Even in the darkest moments, our community can shine a light and this moment demands nothing less. So with all the love and generosity of our shared humanity, let's show up for Gaza's children and civilian injuries, now. 

 

***Not in our Name. Jews Say cease Fire Now. There is nothing Jewish about the Israeli government’s treatment of Palestinians. Bibi your hands are full of blood***

 

Just for clarification: Hamas as group attached to the natural and historical right to have a nation are Palestinian Islamic militants they have been designated a terrorist organization by both the U.S and U.K since 2021 because it raised against FATH movement as the situation struggle since the Oslo I accord in 1993.

I remind you about the British complicity in the matter which has frankly done enough damage in that particular region. The British Empire had jump-started Zionist movements to form Israel at the end of World War I, when the Brits took control of the Palestine lands from the Ottoman Empire. All of the fighting over Israel and Palestine since then began with Britain’s Balfour Declaration in 1917.

With fierce hope and endless determination, always,

Kaitlin, Mike, Camille, Adela, Fadi, Noor, Nell, Mourad and the whole team at Avaaz

 

PS. This might be your first donation to Avaaz movement ever. But what a first donation! Did you know that Avaaz relies entirely on small donations from members like you? That's why we're fully independent, nimble and effective. Join the over 1 million people who've donated to make Avaaz a real force for good in the world.

Morocco Villages Earthquake Appeal

 

Last Friday, September 8th, Morocco was shaken by a devastating earthquake that left its mark across the country, especially in the remote villages of the Hawz region, Marrakech where houses were reduced to rubble. In these difficult times, it is our duty to come together as a community and provide long-term support to our brothers and sisters in Morocco who are facing the monumental task of rebuilding their homes.

We are committed to launching this fundraising campaign with a goal that extends beyond immediate aid. We are committed to providing the necessary support for these communities to rebuild their homes and, over time, regain stability in their lives. Our goal is to raise enough funds to finance the reconstruction of homes in villages where devastation is overwhelming, and recovery opportunities are scarce.

We invite you to join this charitable cause focused on long-term reconstruction. Share this campaign with your friends and family on social media and help us spread the message of hope and renewal for the affected villages. Together, we can work towards building a brighter and more resilient future for these communities.

Allah Bless you!

An Open Letter to Joe Biden

Dear Mr. Vice President:

In the last four years, federally funded science agencies were unmade and remade. They were given new marching orders. The mandate of providing the nation with unbiased scientific advice was replaced by a new mandate—that science is subordinate to the political goals and ego of President Trump.

The consequences of this new mandate are serious and far-reaching. The Environmental Protection Agency became the Environmental Pollution Agency, rolling back protections on clean air and clean water, and providing regulatory relief to President Trump’s campaign contributors from the fossil fuel industry. Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration were censured for challenging President Trump’s incorrect forecast of the path of a major hurricane. Their sin? Failing to adhere to the prime directive that the president is never wrong. At multiple federal agencies, climate science became “the subject that must not be named”—and the subject that should not be studied. And most recently, federally funded scientists unwilling to support the president’s incorrect narrative of a country “rounding the corner” on COVID-19 were publicly ridiculed and dismissed as “idiots.”

Scientist community, found human fingerprints in the temperatures of the atmosphere, the land surface and the world’s oceans. detected signs of human influence on ocean heat content and salinity, snowpack depth, the timing of streamflow from snow-fed river basins, atmospheric moisture, drought behavior and clouds. learned that human fingerprints on climate are not an isolated phenomenon. They are ubiquitous, present in dozens of independently monitored climate records.

The Department of Energy supported climate fingerprint research for over 25 years. The research survived transitions between Democratic and Republican administrations. It withstood shifts in the composition of the Senate and Congress. But it did not survive a president who has falsely dismissed climate change as a hoax and a Chinese conspiracy. It did not survive a president who falsely asserts that science does not know the causes of climate change. It did not survive a very stable genius who considers his expertise superior to that of all scientific experts. Nor did climate fingerprinting survive the changing of the guard at a remade Department of Energy—new leadership that walked away from the same research the DOE had funded. 

This seismic shift in political climate led to apprehension and even fear among US scientific colleagues to avoid any research areas viewed with disfavor by the president of the United States?

Our climate fingerprint group did not self-censor. Throughout the tenure of the Trump administration, we continued to study the nature and causes of climate change—research that is in the best interests of the citizens of this nation and this planet. We continued to believe that U.S. National Laboratories are an appropriate place to perform such research. And we continued to report on our findings; to speak science to power. We did not hide.

 An additional important challenge is to restore public trust in science and scientists. You must rebuild public trust in the scientific impartiality of the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Energy, the Centers for Disease Control and many other federal agencies with scientific remits. You must convince the women and men working in these agencies that their new prime directive is not political loyalty to one person—the new directive is “get the science right.” You will have to inspire the disillusioned and disheartened, reverse the loss of critical expertise at key scientific agencies and make public service at these agencies an aspirational goal for the next generation of young scientists. In achieving this restoration of trust, you can count on the help of many thousands of U.S and World scientist colleagues.

Today, we live in similarly ominous times. Patestine and Israel Have to Quit Dispute and Start Work Together. Yemen and Houti Have to Quit Dispute and Start Work Together. Kurdish and Chites and Sounites in Irak Have to Quit Dispute and Start Work Together. Afganistan and Taliban Have to Quit Dispute and Start Work Together. Separatist of Polisario and their allies should admit Moroccan authorities in Western Sahara and start to work together for peace and prosperity. 

In This World View the Arab’s Economy is a big pile of money That simply needs to be distributed fairly to make it roaring by engaging partner governments on level playing fields starting to listen to your host country recipients — and reflecting seriously about your work and the meaning of partnership in places where real partnership was not only possible, but the best way to achieve lasting impact, adapting best practices from developed countries worked well and increasing and improving order picking productivity. Gov and USAID will owe their partner beneficiaries and the U.S. taxpayers that much to ensure lasting progress and for improved diplomatic relations.

In the next 10 years, key technologies will converge to completely disrupt the five foundational sectors—Information, Energy, Food, Transportation, and Materials—that underpin our global economy. We need to make sure the disruption benefits everyone.

Americans and the global community have to put Hand in Hand for a brighter Future: good governance, lasting green economic prosperity, a sustainable environment and — most importantly — thriving communities.

We wish for signs that the darkness of the last four years is lifting—for singing in the wilderness. Our “blessed hope” for a better future is invested in you.

   يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِير- 13 الحجرات

humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware - Hujurat 13

Jerusalem Capital of Israel Bible Controversy

 How did Israel become a Country?

Watch the short video below to have an Idea:

Jerusalem is the first Qibla (The direction to the Kaaba (God Sacred Building) to witch Muslims turn at prayer) that was for a short period after that and when Mohammed Pbuh (Peace be upon him) was praying with the Faithful, God ordered him to turn to the Kaaba.

Jerusalem is also the Third Holly City after Mecca and Medina that Muslims have to visit after Pilgrimage but Israel refuse.

Jerusalem is the second home built on earth 40 years after Mecca. Mohammed Pbuh Hadith

Here's some versus from Israa, Quran:

"Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing."

"And We conveyed to the Children of Israel in the Scripture that, "You will surely cause corruption on the earth twice, and you will surely reach [a degree of] great haughtiness."

"And how many have We destroyed from the generations after Noah. And sufficient is your Lord, concerning the sins of His servants, as Acquainted and Seeing."

"Your Lord is most knowing of what is within yourselves. If you should be righteous [in intention] - then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving."

"And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little."

"And We said after Pharaoh to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering."

"And say, "Praise to Allah, who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness; and glorify Him with [great] glorification."

Jerusalem is a Holly City protected and Blessed by Lord so anyone would interfere to make a change then would not feel secure and then would not find for himselves an advocate.

***Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, there is no other illah/god but Allah***
