🌟 A Plea from Gaza: Rola’s Story 🌟
Hello, my name is Rola, and I am a mother of two children living in the Gaza Strip. Our lives were once filled with love, laughter, and dreams for the future. But everything changed on October 7th, when the war shattered not only our home but our entire world.
That morning, my family and I were enjoying coffee together on the balcony. Out of nowhere, an explosion erupted, shaking our home violently. My husband and son ran for cover, falling over each other in panic, while I stood frozen, still holding my cup, unable to process the chaos around me. When I looked out the window, I saw that our neighbor’s house, once filled with life, had been reduced to rubble. Ambulances rushed to the scene as people scrambled to rescue the injured and pull bodies from the debris.
The bombings didn’t stop. At night, the rain poured heavily, and the cold seeped into our bones. I stayed awake, covering my children to keep them warm and praying for their safety. But safety is an illusion here. Another explosion shattered the night, and our neighbors’ home was destroyed. Their children, who had been sleeping peacefully under a blanket, were found lifeless, their cover soaked in blood.
I looked at my children with tears in my eyes and thought, How can I protect you? We had to flee our home with nothing but the clothes on our backs. We left behind my children’s toys, their clothes, and their beautiful bedroom. Everything we had worked so hard to build is gone.
Our Current Reality Now, we are displaced and living in a nightmare. Food is scarce, and prices are unimaginably high—$10 for a kilo of sugar! The fear of death hangs over us constantly. My children deserve a life of joy and hope, not one defined by fear and loss. Why can’t we live like everyone else—go to work, visit family, and watch our children play in safety? Why do our children have to grow up surrounded by death and destruction?
How You Can Help I am pleading for your kindness to help us rebuild our lives. We need your support to: 💔 Rebuild our home, so my children can feel safe again. 🌍 Evacuate from Gaza, seeking a future where my family can live with dignity. 🩺 Provide urgent medical care for my children, who need protection from this nightmare.

Just some thoughts on Dutchs authority and the how the gang rebels against him
Firstly, I have the strong belief that Molly (by the start of the game) only very recently started dating Dutch, and on top of that, was part of the gang for a while before dating him. I'm so certain of this because of what Karen says in chapter 1 during the mission where Arthur takes the girls to town where she says "Oh no, miss O'Shea is far to high and mighty now for the likes of us" when Tilly asks if they should've invited her out. What's stands out is the now, becuase it wasn't a 'hey now, she's too good for us' it was a 'she is too good for us now compared to the past'.
This shows there was a point in time where she was in the gang, but wasn't dating Dutch. But once she did get with Dutch she felt she was too good for the girls, which you can see through the fact she isn't hassled by Grimshaw to work, sleeps in a tent, and has really fine clothing compared to the girls.
This had me thinking about, when did she join the gang? I thought, maybe she was part of the six month gang with Micah and Charles, and I thought that introduced a really interesting dynamic. Because, I personally, when playing the game for the first time, assumed Micah had been in the gang for years because he appeared so used to being with the gang, and the gang obviously didn't like him, but seem used to him too, at least more used to him then they were of Charles.
And in the hunting mission in chapter 1, Arthur assumes Charles would be "moving on" soon, and asks him about it. But, as much as Arthur talks about cutting Micah loose, he doesn't assume Micah will. And I noticed the common denominator of the six month gang, whether or not they're seen as a part of the gang and an outsider, is Dutchs interest in them.
Obviously, he's romanticly involved with Molly, and freinds with Micah, but doesn't have any connection to Charles. So, obviously Charles' quietness contributes to how lonely he is, but Dutchs approval of people also contributes to how the gang (does or doesn't) approache(s) them.
So, Dutch was interested in Molly, so she was freinds with the girls (even though once they got together she felt above them), Micah has Dutchs approval, so people tolerate him. But Dutch doesn't think about Charles, so no one thinks about him. And it shows Dutchs iron fist over the gang.
Another idea is how each chapter Arthur and Charles become closer each time, possibly representing how each chapter Arthur strays further and further from Dutchs authority.
Also, the fact people who befriend Charles seem to stray from Dutch...I dunno I just remember a camp interaction where Uncle criticises Dutch, and similarly there's another camp interaction where he is truly trying to befreind Charles, but he's not having it lol, so it sort of creates an idea of how he's hesitant to leave the gang therefore it's represented with a struggle to be freinds with Charles.
