I see the jokes about that last calling a mosque an “Islamic church” but like… old Palestinian churches had prayer niches built into them facing Mecca. You are not prepared for how flimsy the borders around these faiths are in our folk traditions. It used to freak visitors TF out, it’s so funny.

Please do not forget about the people of Gaza; Mohamed might not be able to return to his farm near the Egyptian border anytime soon, because the area is being reserved for the military buffer zone.
Hello brothers and sisters, I send you greetings from Gaza. My brothers and sisters, please help me overcome the circumstances I am living in; they are truly dire. Imagine yourself supporting 13 people in a camp. Please share and donate if you can.
