I looked further into it out of curiosity and to see how this happened and how he’s healing.
Turns out that he had just turned 18 the month that this happened (it was an atv accident) and because of that, the medical debt is all now in his name. Him and his family are asking for donations from those able to do so to help with his recovery costs. He fractured every bone in his hand, degloved it and had to have his ring finger amputated; apparently 6 different hospitals wanted to just amputate the hand but they searched until they found one willing to try surgery to fix it first so he’s said that more fingers may need to be amputated in the future based on how well it heals.
I’ve included the link to the post below, just be warned that if you go through the rest of his profile he does have further photos of his hand after the accident that are quite gory. (The donation post itself is photo free though!)
Noah’s first surgery was August 2nd 2021. This is all only WEEKS old. Here’s the gofundme link (which as of this posting is under 3500 of a 10,000 dollar goal.)
Don’t mistake this for a land dispute between neighbors with equal rights. Israel is an apartheid state, brutalizing and stealing homes systemically. Let’s not forget this tweet still up on Yair Lapid’s account (this was in response to criticism of a law that didn’t allow Palestinians married to Israelis to gain Israeli citizenship):
[id: tweet by יאיר לפיד - Yair Lapid @yairlapid reading, first in hebrew, then the translation in english:
There is no need to hide from the essence of this law. It is one of the tools designed to ensure the Jewish majority in the State of Israel. Israel is the nation state of the Jewish people, and our goal is to have a Jewish majority. In addition, the law has security importance. The GSS presented data according to which without this law being passed today, there will be a material harm to Israel’s security. / end id]
International pressure has helped Palestinian resistance in these last months. Educate yourself on this apartheid and don’t look away. Amplify Palestinian voices and find out what’s happening from their mouths. Here’s some resources of pages and activists to follow to keep yourself informed:
“If only the paddies could just conveniently forget and forgive the state-sanctioned murder of members of their community then we all can put this nasty business behind us” If you want truth and reconciliation, first you need the truth.
These men, who admitted to their crimes in tribunals, did things like shot a 12 year old girl in the head when she was coming back from the shops with milk, shot a man in the head while he was waving a white hanky and trying to help someone else they’d shot dead, shot a disabled man in the back as he was fleeing from them in fear, used the skull of a man they had shot dead as an ashtray…
These are the things that the British establishment are calling for an amnesty on bringing to trial. They are cartoonishly evil war crimes that we cannot let lie. This wasn’t ancient history this was the 1960s-90s.
