Daily Clicks at Arab.org

Arab.org has a section of their website referred to as the Daily Clicks, which can be clicked on daily to allow advertisers on their website to have confirmation that their ads have been viewed. This then, in turn, pays Arab.org 1 Lebanese Lira (Pound), which is exchanged at a rate of 1,500 LBP to 1 USD, regardless of changes in exchange rates. This income is then directly donated to these 6 causes, based on which ones you clicked on:

Helping children via UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund)
Helping Palestine via UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency (for Palestine Refugees in the Near East))
Helping fight poverty via UNDP (United Nations Development Programme)
Helping refugees of war via UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees)
Helping women via UN Women
Helping the environment via Greenpeace MENA (Middle East and North Africa)

While normally you'd only be able to click each button once every 24 hours, you can add additional clicks via other browsers, and even every time you open a browser in an incognito session. You can essentially utilize this to create duplicate click registers, making up for the deficit of people not helping.

Gaza Funds

Gaza Funds is a website that will randomly load a verified Palestinian GoFundMe/Chuffed campaign every time you open the website, allowing you to always have fundraisers you can redistribute your excess capital to.

Communists for Palestine

Go Fund Gaza spotlights

This section of the page will feature Palestinian GoFundMe campaigns that I'd like to spotlight until they've been 100% funded. Once they've been fully funded, they'll stay on the page if the GoFundMe campaign is still active. I'll be trying to monitor them at a rate of at least once per week. Names and images used here will be sourced directly from the GoFundMe campaigns themselves (including the image link being hosted by the campaigns).

Fathi Alhaj and his sons, Yameen and Boody Alhaj

GFM Campaign Link | $23,077/$50,000 (USD) [46%]

Fathi Alhaj sits in a tent with a rug begind him, patterned with stylized brown diamonds over a white field, with his sons Yameen and Boody Alhaj to his sides. A white cat with beige splotches eats out of Fathi's hand. The three of them are looking at the camera with visible exhaustion in their eyes.

Enas Balousha and her children, Mohammed and Hala Balousha

GFM Campaign Link | $12,582/$75,000 (USD) [17%]

Enas Balousha leans against a tent made of lavender and navy fabric. Enas is wearing a black hijab over a brown, plaid shirt with a cloth belt, and is gently holding her daughter Hala, who looks up at her in mixed comfort and stress in her pink graphic tee and a matching pink hair scrunchie. A young man crouches into a black tent behind them, and an elderly man weeps in a seat in front of his tent even further back.

Mohammed (left) and Hala (right) Balousha sit beside each other, looking down at the floor, a faintly red stone or adobe wall behind them. Mohammed is wearing a pine green winter coat with multiple zippers, a small black decal on his left arm. Hala is wearing a red shirt with yellow and white hearts underneath a slightly lighter red winter coat with buttons, with a matching red scrunchie in her hair, resembling a cactus flower.

Aseel Al-Turk, and his family: Ahmad, Jehad, Suad, Mohammad, Aman, and Hadi Al-Turk

GFM Campaign Link | £11,334/£70,000 (GBP) [16%]

A complex collage comprised of 8 images, with a title above them reading: 'Save a family in peril in Gaza!' The word, 'save,' is maroon, and presses a light red gradient on the words beyond it as it fades into white. From top left, clockwise, the images are as follows: 1. A depressed woman in a white hijab and white shirt with grey pants sits at the bottom of a pile of rubble, with some intact buildings in the background. 2. A collapsed building whose roof is only—barely—being held up by a concrete column, leaning precariously. 3. A somewhat-aerial view of widespread rubble amid some intact buildings. 4. Rubble and rebar amid buildings with large holes blasted into them. 5. A woman in matching salmon shirt and pants and a white hijab looks on as she stands in the rubble of a building whose walls have been obliterated just to her right. 6. White tents and children in yellow shirts in a field of dirt. Some buildings can be seen in the background. 7. The Al-Turk family standing for a family photo before the war, all dressed in nice clothing and smiling at the camera (bar a bored younger brother). This is very noticeably the only picture with bright colours, largely including living plants. 8. A white Ford F200 with many futons, blankets, and the like crammed into the bed of the truck, and even many more stacked on top, parked with all doors open in a sandy field. An intact building is visible in the frame.

Gaza Strip Children's Famine Prevention

GFM Campaign Link | $803/$50,000 (CAD) [2%]

Several Palestinian children with distressed expressions hold out various metal pans, some with handles, some appear to have been from rice cookers, desperately waiting for food. The image makes it clear there are even more out of frame.

Islam Al-Najjar and his grandather

GFM Campaign Link | €8,347/€30,000 (EUR) [28%]

Islam Al-Najjar looks on as the sun is on the horizon of an obliterated Palesinian city. He's wearing a khaki jacket and bright blue jeans.

Islam Al-Najjar and his grandfather in an older picture, smiling at the camera. Islam is wearing a red golf shirt, and his grandfather is wearing a white shirt, rectangular glasses, and a white taqiyya.

Nader Al-Anqar and his family, mother Iman, Ahmed, Mohammed, Abdul Salam, Aya Al-Batniji, Omar, and baby Iman Al-Anqar

GFM Campaign Link | €101,089/€110,000 (EUR) [92%]

From left to right, mother Iman wears a blue khimar with matching blue flowery patterns, father Ahmed wears a black-on-grey striped gold shirt with blue jeans, Nader stands in the back in a grey shirt, Mohammed stands in a shirt with alternating grey-and-white triangles with a black breast pocket and dark pants, Abdul Salam wears an orange shirt and dark khaki shorts (?) while he holds baby Iman, who is in a blue denim onesie, and presumably Omar stands on the far right in a grey shirt. Presumably, Aya Al-Batniji is holding the camera. They stand in a beige house with some fabric held up in the background. All members look miserable, as though they don't want to be present for the photograph.

Osama Abukarsh, Kinzi Abukarsh (6 years old), and their family (mother and sisters)

GFM Campaign Link | €16,454/€25,000 (EUR) [66%]

An image partitioned into three vertical slices. Left: A child in a pink shirt with hearts and leapard-print knee-high leggings lays exhausted on a pillow three-quarters her size over a blue Hello Kitty-themed blanket. Many blankets and a mattress are stacked in the background. Center: Osama sits on concrete rubble next to another piece of rubble painted by Palestinian artist Baraa Faraj, depicting a hash-shaded child with hair spokes and their hands behind their back: the symbol of the BDS (Boycott-Divest-Sanction) movement. Blue writing has been added to the right of it in German, reading something to the effect of, 'What Palestine is going through is Germany's fault. I am (obscured by Osama) German? Germany? (again obscured by Osama; presumably: I am ashamed of Germany)' The exact (visible) text reads: 'was Palästine durmocht ist Deutschland schuld / Ich bin (obscured) Deuts- (obscured).' Osama is wearing a white t-shirt with white shorts, black shoes, and a watch on his left wrist. Right: A little girl sits on concrete rubble, curly hair disheveled as she sits in a frilly pink shirt with matching pants and white tennis shoes.

Communists for Sudan

Go Fund Sudan spotlights

This section of the page will feature Sudanese GoFundMe campaigns that I'd like to spotlight until they've been 100% funded. Once they've been fully funded, they'll stay on the page if the GoFundMe campaign is still active. I'll be trying to monitor them at a rate of at least once per week. Names and images used here will be sourced directly from the GoFundMe campaigns themselves (including the image link being hosted by the campaigns).

Please don't forget about the Sudanese people. The genocide in Palestine is not the only genocide in neoliberal capitalism right now. We must expand our efforts.

Khartoum Aid Kitchen (12 kitchens feeding ≈9,000 people, plus 5 partner kitchens feeding ≈3,050 people)

GFM Campaign Link | £831,890/£1,000,000 (GBP) [83%]

The Khartoum Aid Kitchen banner, with a fork and spoon on a white circle resembling a plate over a blue field. To the left, several people in the kitchen are smiling at the camera, with a small caption reading 'Our lovely Volunteers.' To the right, a child smiles as he's about to be given food.

Real Communists Wear Masks!

Not wearing a mask is eugenics! KN95 Masks Site
I actually use these myself; these are my personal recommendation.

The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic isn't over—and even if it were, that wouldn't mean other diseases like Influenza aren't out there. I myself have been hospitalized by the flu before. Regardless of how you feel about your own safety, you should always wear a mask when in public spaces or interacting with others you don't live with (and you should still wear a mask when you/someone you live with is sick/immunocompromised!).

The principle of herd immunity is extremely misunderstood, and refers to when the majority of a population is vaccinated, helping to socially inocculate those who are too immunocompromised (or Disabled in another manner) from illness the majority of the time. However, due to a massive global fascist wave, especially in the US Empire, vaccination rates are dropping concerningly.

Additionally, the modern reframing of herd immunity has quite literally taken on an element of Nazist eugenics (unsurprising, given the Nazis' German nationalist style of fascism was based on American fascism): telling people that you don't have to wear a mask because of, "survival of the fittest," is the pseudoscientific ideology of Social Darwinism, which is quite blatantly fascist eugenics.

Do you call yourself a Communist, or even just a Socialist in general?
Prove it. Wear a mask.
