Rain Dove Dubilewski Instagram – Over 50 DMs in a day saying that if I went on the ground to serve Gazan Palestinians that they’d unalive me. Along with other horrible physical acts. So, I assembled a team of local lgbtq people and allies on the ground in Egypt and went far and wide to deliver direct cash physical aid to Gazan Palestinians in need as requested.
Did I die? No. Did any of our team mates die? No. Were there LGBTQ Gazan Palestinians who were living at an adult age? Yes.
Not only did I survive but I was welcomed into homes, given food and drinks despite tight resources. Allowed to use the restroom of my choice. Allowed to work directly with the Palestinian Embassy as the sole cash aid provider to families on the ground and our team members were provided body guards and bullet proof escorts to more dangerous locations. The journalist syndicate also opened their doors taking us from home to home- and every single time I was open off the bat that I am lgbtq . Not something I typically do, but for this I did. I was accepted in rooms of all men. I was accepted into spaces of all women. I was held and allowed to hold others. And so were my teammates.
Hundreds of families personally visited in 3 weeks.
Is the situation as horrific as You have seen on tv? It’s worse. We visited hospitals filled with air strike survivors. Studio apartment with 15 refugees stack in a single space having lost their life back home. We walked through rubble and ruins and saw the devastating impacts of war.
This propaganda that LGBTQ people must not call for humanitarian aid or rights for Palestinian people simply because of conservative values is unethical and wrong. Every human- EVERY HUMAN deserves the right to food shelter water physical safety and freedom of movement. And I mean EVERY. So don’t get it twisted.

Our efforts are Palestinian run @roaakashef and ally managed @arielleabroad PPS probably ended my career by posting this according to some other folx in my life so- that’s that. It’s been a good ride. | Posted on 01/Dec/2023 01:52:12
