What is her fault? Why is she crying?
She cries because there is no food… she cries out of fear for her father and brother who sleep outside the tent because it is too small, after we were displaced and forced to put the women inside the tents to cover them.
This is my little sister Montaha… Please, donate and extend your helping hand.
I am her brother, unable to provide for her needs. I deprive myself of food just to feed her… Please help us, people of kind hearts, true humanitarians… Make a difference in our lives.
I am dying of grief over my family and the children around me… and I am dying of hunger.
An extremely urgent plea for help

These are people in a desperate situation just trying to survive. Don't scold them for using a clickbait title. Obviously anything that makes people pay attention is worthwhile, don't take it personally like this.
Your comment is hurtful and heartless. Instead of lifting my spirits in a difficult time, you added to my pain. I hope you don’t approach others’ suffering with such cruelty, because a kind word can mean so much.
Soliman, please do not let such a thoughtless comment add to your suffering. The user you are replying to should be ashamed of this callous comment, and should reflect on it and apologize. People of conscience all over the world care for you. Those who do not are the shame of all of humanity.
These merciless people must eventually disappear. Thank you for standing by me and supporting me, and I hope I can get to know you personally ❤️
I wish you didn't have to make titles like this, but it works at drawing attention and the more comments on your posts, the higher up on Hexbear's feed it gets, so uncritical support for doing it. Even these negative comments ironically help draw attention by continuing the conversation so more people see your post.
On this Yom Kippur, I wish that we as fellow humans of the rest of the world would confess and atone for our complicity while watching this happen so blatantly for two years now and many more decades of illegal occupation before that
Thank you so much for your sincere words and great support. Having people like you stand with us and show the truth to the world gives us hope and strength to keep going despite all the pain. We truly appreciate your compassion and your humane stance, and we ask God that the day of freedom for Palestine comes soon, so that we can all meet on safe and just land.
Please, edit this comment. I understand how the title of the post could be hurtful to you, but it's not our place to check the tone of people living an unthinkable horror.
I don't think you are a bad person, and I understand where you're coming from, but please, consider the perspective of a victim of genocide in a world where many people have proven that they don't care. The revolutionary act here is to reject your discomfort and embrace solidarity, to prove that you are not one of those people - and I do believe that you truly are not, that you are good.
I’m not accusing you! I’m just telling you and I want my voice to be heard. I didn’t say you’re the cause or anything else!
You see a post—just read it. Either help, or leave a kind comment that lifts my spirits and my family’s. Or stay silent and pass by the post as if you never saw it…
Anything you put in a post that can make people pay attention and help you and your family is good.
People should not take this personally, for many people it's true that the tears of children mean nothing. But it's easy for them to make it false, all they have to do is care, and do what they can to help.
Love and solidarity.
Thank you for your wonderful words. I wish you happiness and well-being. I’m sorry for my reaction, but that person’s comment really broke my spirit.
Don't apologize for your reaction! You were correct.

Unfortunately, that’s your problem if you lack mercy or humanity, not mine.
I wish I had more to offer you than my love and solidarity in this awful time, but I wish health and safety for you and your loved ones and all victims of this fucked up regime.
Literal genocide victims can do a little clickbait, as a treat
