Is the general public allowed access to the tunnels, to the extent that they could just hang out down there, use them as a different way of getting around, or store things underground?

Was there anything notable about education in Gaza under the blockade (but before Al-Aqsa Flood), whether it was a critical shortage, or an adaptation?

Is gardening a viable thing in Gaza? Where the people are condensed and the bombs fall often, are there places in the city where plants will grow?

1st questions: لا مو عامة الناس بيقدروا يدخلوا الانفاق مستحيل حد يدخل فقط المقاومين

2nd question : المقاومة تستخدم الانفاق لكي يكون ساتر لهم من طائرات الاحتلال الصهيوني و لكي يستطعون التحرك و تجول و تصنيع السلاح يلجاون الى الانفاق

قبل طوفان الاقصى جميع الاطفال يدرسوان و اقل من نسبة 0.5 الامية في قطاع غزة

3rd question: حاليا اغلب الاماكن زراعية تدمرت حرفيا, و تم تجريفها من الاحتلال الصهيوني, و قطاع غزة من افضل الاماكن زراعية في العالم لكن الاماكن زراعية ليست بالكثير بسبب التعداد السكاني الكبير بالنسبة لمساحة قطاع غزة

Question to you: why sometimes respond in Arabic and then in English? Is there a difference in how you answer people's questions, when you switch languages?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

When I use English ,it’s mostly me ,sometimes I use Arabic

But Arabic on those 2 post was like 97% my friend because he answered me in Arabic ,there was the odd one or two question he answered in English but it was rare

I don't have any questions really but I want him to know I'm an American who is disgusted with Israel and I want the freedom of the Palestinian people. I hope soon the occupation ends and Israel becomes a small footnote in history

Are many other Palestinians also finding their way into Egypt? Is Egypt doing anything at all to help them as a state?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 days ago

Well ,this is me answering you not him ,but he has said many many times that Egypt is doing absolutely nothing at all to help if anything they’re purposely making it harder to leave by charging an insane amount of money

Egyptian people were nice to them though

I have heard people say they were shot "by" quadcopters or drones but don't fully understand. Are these quadcopter the scouts for Israeli snipers, or has the Zionist entity actually put guns on quadcopters?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Not op, but I believe it’s guns on quadcopters

Fuck that is so dystopian, I hope they're hackable

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

That's hackable, it's a DJI Matrice 600 series, basically a consumer/business drone.

He’s asking you who do you mean ?

He asked if you mean people getting martyred in Gaza ?

He says

احكيله الموت من بدون طيار يلي بنحكي عنها كواد كابتر في غزة لسا احسن من القصف و اطنان المتفجرات يلي بتخلي الجسم كله اشلاء

Hello! I hope you guys are doing well.

My question is (for both of you) how is the PFLP generally viewed by Palestinians in the West Bank and in Gaza? Historically, was the PFLP closer to Hamas or Fatah? And are there any other prominent leftist organisations?

My dream is to visit Quds one day inshallah.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Him:

ان شاءلله بتزورها

جبهة الشعبية كانت تقدم الكثير من شهداء من اجل فلسطين و هي ضعفت كتير بعد ما رفعوا عنها الاموال واصبح الكثير لا يعرفونها جيدا و سابقا كانت فتح جيدة و تقاوم المحتل لكن بعد اتفاق اوسلوا اصبحت صهيونية اكتر ما هي فلسطينية

Me: the PFLP is definitely closer to Hamas than to Fatah ,Hamas and the PFLP were the two main parties who were very very against Oslo when it happened and it seems like their positions have been validated in the eyes of most Palestinians ,Oslo happened over 3 decades ago ,both are viewed positively due to being principled and being resistance movements at their core

How are religious services maintained in the face of total war? Also how are relationships between different faiths.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 days ago

Most of them are Muslims

They pray in congregation at the nearest mosque

If a mosque is not available, they pray in a group on a street

He says if someone really wants to help then he really does need help

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How can we help, does he have a gofundme?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago (3 children)

He told me his friend will set up one for him in the next few days

He said that you can donate through the pay pal ,he gave me the Gmail of a trusted friend of his : [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Thank you for this, is there a name of some way we can indicate who the contributions are for?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Your welcome comrade ,but I don’t get what you mean about the contributions thing ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If we send money to the friend, does he know to give it to your friend?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Yes

He has said that he has received money yesterday from money someone here donated

What is best way to help currently, e.g. what organization still can get help inside gaza (which one can be seen)? Or how to realistically screen individual donation drives against scammers? (is there some org or something that collects them, or just trust leftie posters who link them sometimes?)

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago

He’s in Egypt right now , he lived for 7 months during the war in Gaza but managed to go to Egypt

What dreams and hopes do Gazans have for a free Palestine after the fall of Zionism?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

تعرفي مش رح تتخل شو رح يصير لما تتحرر فلسطين

اقسم بالله يضلهم ماشيين للمسجد الاقصى يبكون, من كتر الفرحة

ما حد رح يتخيل الشعور و خصوصا بعد كل هل معاناة يلي شفناها ويلي عشناها

احنا فلسطيين في غزة بس بدنا حياة كريمة بيت نستر حالنا فيه و عمل عشان نعيش و ما بدنا اكتر من هيك لا سيارات ولا فلل الاغلب يقولون ذلك

حلمي اعيش في بيت على اقل يكون يشبه بيتنا يلي انحرق يلي هلا مو صالح للحياة و يكون عندي سياراة و زوجة و مشروع خاص بي هاد من احلامي يلي ما رح تتحقق اني اسافر حوالين العالم واشوف العالم و حلمي اروح على غابة و اشوف مناظر طبيعية و الانهار والاشجار احلام كتيرة لكن مستحيل تتحقق في هيك ظروف

I've taken the liberty to make a machine translation of the answer. Please correct me if it is inaccurate:

You know, you won't be able to figure out what will happen when Palestine is liberated

I swear to God, they will keep walking to Al-Aqsa Mosque crying from joy

No one can imagine the feeling, especially after all the suffering we've seen and lived through

We are Palestinians in Gaza, but we want a decent life, a house to cover ourselves in, and work to live on, and we don't want more than that, no cars, no villas, most of them say that

My dream is to live in a house that at least looks like our house that burned down, which is no longer suitable for living, and to have a car, a wife, and my own business. This is one of my dreams that will never come true, that I travel around the world and see the world, and my dream is to go to a forest and see natural scenery, rivers, and trees. There are many dreams, but they are impossible to come true in these circumstances

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

I wanna cry 😭 💔

Yes this is accurate

How goes the lawyering process? I know they had concerns/mental baggage around setting up a GoFundMe (which I understand and can relate with), but do you think they would be open to learning about and using the Mutual Aid (community aid, maybe somewhat different) process Hexbear has, alternatively?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Can you explain the mutual aid thing ?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

https://hexbear.net/c/mutual_aid

I feel others could explain it better than me, but it's basically a community resource and a matter of people collectively helping people (rather than completely individualized charity) or so I think? Hopefully others can explain on it better as I feel I'm not doing it justice.
