Announcing Gaza Verified

https://gaza-verified.org

I’ve been having video conversations over Signal with people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts on the fediverse in an effort to vouch for their authenticity.

This week, I whipped up a site to formalise this and to enable them to add a verified link to their Mastodon bios. Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of time they need to spend proving that their accounts genuinely belong to a person suffering through genocide and famine in Gaza and help them with their fundraisers.

The first four accounts belong to:

• @Aseelsehwel
• @NouranKhaledGh
• @joynewacc
• @mohshbair

If you want to get on the site, please contact me. See the guide for more information: https://gaza-verified.org/guide

Please share and donate to their fundraisers if you can.

Thank you!

“Belgium to recognize Palestine, sanction Israel”

https://www.politico.eu/article/belgium-to-recognize-palestine-sanction-israel/

But still “only … if Hamas releases all remaining Israeli hostages kidnapped in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and the militant group ‘no longer has any role in managing Palestine’”

How odd: nothing about disbanding the IDF and ensuring that the Israeli government that is *checks notes* COMMITTING GENOCIDE no longer has any role managing Israel?

“In the meantime, Belgium will also impose ‘firm sanctions’ on the Israeli government, Prévot said. The measures include a ban on importing products from illegal settlements, a review of public procurement policies with Israeli companies and restrictions on consular assistance to Belgians living in illegal settlements.”

This part sounds good but I’ll believe it when I see it.

@staff We also need a list of servers that are safe for Palestinians to be on.

We cannot take the risk that mastodon.social will do what Bluesky has done and ban them.

Banning the account of a Palestinian who is using the fediverse to fundraise for food in the middle of a famine created by Israel’s genocide is tantamount to a death sentence.

Is there already a list?

If not can admins for instances that are safe for Palestinians please reply to this point and submit their domains?

Please share. Thank you.

And who is the kind of person trying to get @staff to ban the accounts of Palestinians who are using the fediverse as their last lifeline to literally get funds to eat as they’re being starved by Israel in a genocide?

The same kind of person – an anonymous coward furthermore – who paints the freedom flotilla as “Hamas”.

Do not let these Zionist propaganda accounts take hold on the fediverse.
