Thank you for the list. I follow all of those but MintPress. I will add it to my list. I do not mean to extract labor from you. Thank you for your time. We do not need to continue the chat.

You are certainly allowed to believe what you want, but it truly is about community and support. I don’t go for me. I go because my friends and neighbors invite me.

Is there a media source you recommend? I like AJ because they have people in Gaza.

For those of us who are there, sitting in community with each other and mourning the ones who have been murdered.

My question to Arie was specific to her statement that I need to “be more active in organising opposition to the US”. It’s hard to “organize” from so far away, but I am definitely trying to do what I can and open to finding additional ways to help.

One of the advantages of living in Qatar easy access is to reputable and reliable information. Al Jazeera is our local station on TV & on the car radio. It makes it easier for me to then share that information with friends in the US…since the Zionist media there suppresses or misinterprets reality.

Thank you. The only thing on there that I don’t/can’t do it strike. Qatar doesn’t allow protests, but there have been many solidarity events. They are very powerful. ❤️

It’s incredibly hard to help organize local protests from such a great distance. I have friends in the US that do that work. So, I help spread the word about the events and offer funding. Thank you for your time.

Serious request for advice: How do you suggest I “organize opposition to the US” beyond my vote, calling my reps, and amplifying US & European protests? No one who knows me thinks I support the US government in any way. This a huge part of why we left in 2010.

Absolutely

I fully understand that the US is responsible for funding this war. We are beyond complicit. The US has been an active participant.

I live in Qatar. That isn’t an option here.

I have educated my children about Palestine although they learn plenty from their friends as well. I amplify Palestinian voices. I try to educate as many people as I can. I wear my keffiyeh when traveling internationally as a symbol of solidarity. I am always looking for new ideas/ways to help.

I live in Qatar but am a US citizen. I am calling my reps regularly: At least 3 times a week. I also email the White House every morning. I have had a standing monthly donation to UNRWA for many years. I support my friends and neighbors when they lose yet another loved one.

Also…I can’t spell. So, until there is an edit function, I’m sure you know what I mean. 😂
