Don’t fucking speak on behalf of Syrians witnessing what’s happening tonight. Don’t fucking pretend you know what we’re going through.

I’ve seen too many people I respect suddenly think they know what happened and is happening in Syria. You never supported innocents there until it became trendy.

So shut the fuck up.

I had a call with my aunt in Syria last week. She couldn’t attend my wedding. I was crying during the entire conversation, not just because she couldn’t come but because I don’t know if I’ll ever see my relatives there again.

Don’t tweet your uneducated analyses.
Don’t stand on your bullshit pedestals.

Listen to the damn people - both here and abroad - who have had to deal with a ruthless piece of shit in Syria, and now simple pawns between petulant assholes.

I’m the one in the middle. If you want to fucking do something, put your money where your mouth is and make a donation to help the orphaned babies.

But if you’re just going to shoot off a few tweets, write an article, say some stupid shit as a non-Syrian and call it a night, fuck you.

This isn’t another Iraq. This is a goddamn different nation.

Oh and by the way.

The US right now bombing the centers of violence? Yeah, a few days ago, Syria’s ruthless dictator used those spaces to launch deadly gas attacks.

Syria has been dying for years. So don’t pretend you’re on the moral high ground. It’s messier than you know.

I won’t be doing any emotional labor of explaining the crisis or how you should feel tonight, I’m done.

Otherwise, use Google & read the news. I’m off for now. ✌🏾

Again, the organization is @NuDaySyria, the focus is on INNOCENT MOTHERS AND CHILDREN, and they actually HELP.

nudaysyria.org or nudaysyria.net/babies-and-mil…

Just do something. Don’t just talk. Do something for once, especially if you’re honest about wanting to help.

Oh and for those wondering: @NuDaySyria and volunteers are already working on putting together shipping containers full of aid, clothing, baby milk, toys, medical supplies - all in part due to YOUR support. It’s helping make an impact already.

When it comes to actually getting shit done, they don’t have time to blather about whether the life of an innocent child is worth it. Your support makes this aid actually possible.

To those still telling me to stop talking: I’ll shut up when you donate.
