After pro-Palestine philanthropist Fergie Chambers’ arrest, people in Gaza are panicking on how they’ll raise donations for fundraisers, as Chambers has likely been the largest individual donor to Gaza fundraisers, whether to personal GoFundMe’s or grassroots humanitarian aid groups. ■ This isn’t about one person being a savior. It’s the reality on the ground in Gaza that life depends on donations from outside, as the Israeli siege intensifies, UNRWA is gutted of funding, and a few thousand dollars to a GoFundMe can make the difference of life or death. ■ The Sameer Project (The Sameer Project) said “Fergie’s donations are the reason we have a bakery that feeds thousands of people per month. His funds also helped provide meals, water and medication for displaced Palestinians. Now he’s being persecuted for this. Advocate for Fergie’s release now!” ■ A solidarity fundraiser (🇮🇷🔻🇵🇸) posted, “Fergie has been covering the costly medical care for this Gazan evacuee in Egypt who needs $8000 every two months to prevent kidney failure. If Fergie is imprisoned she can die of kidney failure like her little sister did! Her life depends on Fergie’s help.” ■ Wissam Shabat (Wissam Shabat 𓂆 🇵🇸), the brother of martyred journalist Hossam Shabat, said, “Fergie and Stella (his wife) have been the main reason a lot of families in Gaza can afford the basics everyday. I have seen the help they give. Direct support to starving families and they are persecuting him for it. Full solidarity with Fergie and shame on those who slander him. Will YOU step up and support us now? We have lost a giant but we can get him back. SPEAK UP. We love you Fergie from Gaza.” By Calla

🚨 Fergie Chambers: The Cox Heir Funding SJP and Radical Activism Fergie Chambers is using the inherited Cox fortune to subsidize "anti-imperialist" and openly radical politics, and he is brazen enough to explain the model himself. He says he has been “giving money to Students for Justice in Palestine since like 2005,” that his U.S.-based foundation is “committed to Anti-Imperialist causes,” and that his political work has ranged from “community organizing to direct action… and then a lot of… funding.” He even says, “If someone needs to donate to something, I’ll do it,” and, more ominously, “if someone needed to get a little crazy, I was willing to do it.” This is not just activism. It is a wealthy extremist financier using family money to push a revolutionary agenda. Chambers also says he could send “hundreds of thousands of dollars” to projects he supports, admits he had been involved in “Palestine action stuff,” and boasts, “I chained myself to the door” of an Israeli weapons company office. Most strikingly, he all but says he left the United States so he could keep doing this with less risk. He says “there were like feds looking at me,” recalls scrutiny tied to “anti-police work in Atlanta,” and explains that he and others decided they could be “more useful to the world at large, not being in the US anymore.” Chambers now lives in Ireland and has continued this sort of extremist financing. At what point do the feds move on this and seek Ireland’s cooperation?

Sometimes I sit down and ask myself: what kind of metal was used to make Dr. Kizza Besigye? Here is a man who is financially secure, with investments, highly educated, a retired military officer, and married to an internationally respected wife. He has a family and every reason to choose a quiet life, yet he has never surrendered or stopped fighting for what he believes is the liberation of Uganda. From the day he declared that he would challenge his former friend for the presidency in 2001, he has faced countless political battles. He has survived death threats, rape allegations, repeated arrests, the loss of family members, and the loss of close friends in the struggle. Through it all, he has never given up. Truth be told, I even fear his level of resilience. What many people dismissed as “just another arrest” has, over nearly two years, turned into a life-threatening ordeal. Yet every time he appears before a judge, he still carries himself with remarkable courage. Looking at his actions, one gets the impression that he would rather lose his life than surrender his principles. Whether one agrees with his politics or not, very few people could endure what Dr. Besigye has endured. Many people, when faced with such pressure, would plead guilty for a lighter sentence or negotiate with those responsible for their arrest. He has chosen a different path. Personally, I know I would have surrendered long ago. We may never see another Besigye in our lifetime. People can debate his politics, but his endurance, conviction and willingness to sacrifice for what he believes are qualities that are undeniably rare. Even at his age, he continues to shake the most powerful tables May God keep you alive to witness the fulfillment of everything you believe in. May your faith, hope and perseverance be rewarded. Amen.

This is a day when words grow heavy. For what we feel goes beyond ordinary pain; What we experience surpasses ordinary mourning. In these days, we stand in silence filled with prayer. Our Holy Patriarch, His Holiness and Beatitude Ilia II, has gone to be with the Lord bringing with him his labor and his works. We, his people, his flock, his spiritual children, are his works. The Lord sent him to us as one man, and he returns with an entire nation - so visibly, so united, so unified, as has been revealed in these solemn days. We are the generation of the Patriarch. We are witnesses to a unique event, when an entire nation is spiritually united around one person; When every active clergyman in Georgia has been ordained with his blessing; When nearly all Christians in Georgia have been baptized with his blessing. The present state, character, and form of our two-thousand-year-old Church have been shaped by him. His Holiness and Beatitude became that firm link for our nation and Church that connected our past to the present, and the present to the future, in an apocalyptic era of godlessness and nihilism. Truly, we have witnessed a miracle from God - the Georgian Church, risen from the ashes and shaped by him alone anew, with his own hands. He was able to do this because he understood what mattered most. In today’s world, many values compete for primacy - freedom, equality, solidarity, justice. His Holiness and Beatitude gave each its proper place, but taught us the most important truth: freedom, equality, and all other things lose their meaning if they are not grounded in the highest value - love. We had a Patriarch of love, whose tireless preaching embodied it. Through his life, he became an example of how one can love all: one’s own and strangers, friends and enemies, the righteous and sinners. He accomplished the impossible - as a Christian, he fulfilled the law of Christ; as a monk, he kept his vows; as a Patriarch, he bore the heaviest cross of his nation. His earthly journey has ended, but love remains - his love for us, which in these days the whole nation has returned with gratitude. This was his main dream: to see his nation united in the Church of Christ. He accomplished this. And thus he has entered the presence of the Lord - righteous and full of grace. It is we, his generation - those who lived with him, saw him, felt his grace, and bear witness to his greatness. But his story does not end here. After us, once again, his generation will continue the path - the generation of his godchildren, our children, who carry his name, his blessing, and his grace. In this way, he built a bridge across time and bound our nation together. “Great are You, O Lord, and wondrous are Your works.” May the memory of our Patriarch be eternal! May his prayers and intercession protect all of Georgia!
