I recommend you watch the movie "Schindler's list", which tells the story of how one person saved hundreds of humans from death during a genocide.
It's available from Apple TV for 10 bucks. You could have it ready on your device to watch within a minute.
Schindler, a wealthy man, gives away all his money to buy free imprisoned jews from concentration camps. He gives expensive gifts to corrupt guards; for example, an expensive watch to save two jews, a married couple. Since, to the corrupt guards, it's all the same whether they kill two less or more now, ten less or more now. Eventually they'll get them anyway, in their minds.
Towards the end, after the war is over, Schindler has an emotional breakdown. He realizes that he's still in possession of a car that he could have given away and rescued ten more people in exchange for it. He realizes he still has a button on his suit, a golden button. He could've traded that for one more person, rescued one more person and he didn't. Schindler—the man who had saved about a thousand of jews from certain death—has an emotional breakdown because he comes to tell himself that he could've done more but didn't. Think about that for a second.
Meanwhile, the jews he had saved, had melted their golden teeth to make a ring for Schindler, with the engraving "Whoever saves one live, saves the world entire."
Save one life and save the world entire.
I watched that movie in my room, on a 4K monitor. I'm sitting in my apartment, surrounded by expensive things, and I'm drinking cool refreshments, eating a little bit of ice cream. I'm surrounded by a MacBook, multiple Linux computers, a Nintendo Switch and an Xbox, a piano and a guitar … you get the point. All this fancy stuff. I don't know about you … thinking about Schindler, after watching that movie … did I do all I could? Could I've done more? Schindler, who started as a millionaire, gave away all his wealth to save lives.
Could I have done more? That's the question I ask myself. The question everyone will eventually ask themselves, at some point in their life, sooner or later. And the answer to that question is something everybody will have to live with for the rest of their lives. 1/2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9vj2Wf57rQ2/2 There are many links to donation campaigns on social media going around to financially support starving people in Palestine. Links to Chuffed, links to GoFundMe. You do have the opportunity to send some money towards Palestine, so that some starving family can buy some bread, or the ingredients to make bread.
I know that many Western people are mistrusting of such campaigns, often rightfully so, sad as it is. There have always been humans with no sense of shame who steal, cheat, trick and exploit others. Sadly, this type of human doesn't even shy away from taking advantage of an ongoing genocide.
I want you to think through the downsides of all possible scenarios:
- You donate and it turns out to be a scam
- You suspected a scam and didn't donateTo be clear: I don't judge anyone for how much or little they donate. Everybody gives as much as they can, even 5 bucks are helping.
Now think: You sent some money, maybe even 100 bucks, and it was a scam. Sure, it sucks to be scammed, to lose a not-so-insignificant amount of money. But will it kill you? I say: Don't buy that gadget from Amazon that you won't use or need anyway—Go to the cinema one less time and you have the money back.
Now what if you were too mistrusting? The 50 bucks you could have spared but didn't send, could have bought a family a kilogram of flour. Your money could have allowed some starving person in Gaza to survive for a few more days until someone comes along who can spare more money than you. But now the person is dead, starved, because they couldn't afford to eat.
Which downside weighs heavier?
There are a lot of scams out there, and GenAI videos don't make it easier. But the genuine real people in Palestine often provide their WhatsApp number or some other means to have a video call with them, to verify their identity and that they're really in Gaza and who they pretend to be. Just give them a call if you want to make a difference, or follow outspoken people you trust.
Watch the movie "Schindler's list" and ask yourself "Could I have done more?" Similar to Schindler's car and button, you do have at least some means to make it possible if you truly want to help.

Condivido, rinuncio ad acquistare cose inutili, (di cui non ho alcun bisogno) e invio denaro in Palestina, ci sono modi per verificare che il denaro arrivi lì.
In questo momento, guardando le famiglie palestinesi, mi sento così impotente 😌 e furiosa verso i governi che permettono questo scempio.
Il governo israeliano pagherà un caro prezzo per la sua crudeltà.

@storiespettinate non c'entra assolutamente nulla l'intelligenza artificiale ma soltanto La proverbiale la resistenza delle aziende italiane a pagare i fornitori. Tutte le scuse sono buone. Fategli scrivere dall'avvocato e non temete il fatto che poi non vorranno più lavorare con voi: clienti del genere sono una rogna per qualsiasi azienda.
Anzi, sputtanateli per inadempienza contrattuale

Verona: speciale tumulto pride con le voci della piazza “per l’autodeterminazione collettiva”
@anarchia
Sabato 13 settembre a Verona, duemila persone hanno sfilato nel corteo del Tumulto Pride. Una giornata di festa, di amore e di conflitto. La parola chiave della giornata è stata intersezionalità: le questioni e le rivendicazioni queer si sono https://www.rivoluzioneanarchica.it/verona-speciale-tumulto-pride-con-le-voci-della-piazza-per-lautodeterminazione-collettiva/

BREVI CONSIDERAZIONI SULLA MORTE DI CHARLIE KIRK
Faccio mie le parole di Ava Raine: “Se vuoi che le persone ti dicano parole gentili quando te ne vai, dovresti dire parole gentili mentre sei in vita”.
E Charlie Kirk, in vita, è stato tutt’altro che gentile: campione di razzismo, omofobia, islamofobia; acceso antiabortista e convinto sostenitore del sionismo e dell’apartheid israeliano. Non scherziamo. La memoria, in questo caso, serve a smascherare, non a ripulire.
La fine che ha fatto riguarda solo il suo mondo: un universo malato di armi e sproloqui nazistoidi. È lo specchio del mondo che ha costruito. Se lo santifichi, sei come lui.
Che sia chiaro: questo non significa che meritasse una pallottola. L’eliminazione fisica, in questo preciso momento storico, è sempre più appannaggio dei poteri. Sono gli Stati a praticarla, apertamente o nell’ombra: basta guardare alla Palestina. Qui la morte è seriale, pianificata, industriale. Non c’è simmetria possibile: la violenza organizzata, sistematica e impunita appartiene ai dominanti. Ricordarlo è fondamentale per non cadere nella trappola della falsa equivalenza.
Non è la “giustizia fai da te”, né il gesto isolato di singoli a segnare l’epoca: è la violenza organizzata degli Stati, degli eserciti, delle polizie, dei servizi segreti. La pallottola che uccide un singolo non è paragonabile all’apparato militare che devasta interi popoli. Una morte individuale non sposta i rapporti di forza: è solo una parentesi.
Ma il punto non è Charlie Kirk. Il punto è la narrazione che si costruisce intorno a una morte così. Il mainstream corre subito a sterilizzare le contraddizioni, addomesticare il dibattito. Mentre la destra fa la destra con le sue farneticazioni. Si riposiziona nella parte “aggredita”, quindi da difendere.
Il rischio vero non è il singolo proiettile, è il racconto che lo segue: che giustifica nuove strette repressive, che alimenta la falsa equivalenza tra chi opprime e chi resiste.La vera battaglia è qui: smontare la retorica, fare luce sugli interessi, svelare la trama che trasforma un fanatico in un martire. Non cadere nella trappola è un dovere politico.
