now more than ever, please vet gofundmes before you donate.
copy and paste descriptions into google to see if there are scam accounts reusing the same story, check to see if there are any images/updates on the fund with faces. go to the original blog, check if the post asking for help is only an hour old, or even less than that. refrain from donating if all it links to is a PayPal account, without any further confirmation of identity.
it’s horrible to say but it’s never been a better time for scam artists to exploit your generosity, when things seem so dire, and I’ve donated to campaigns before only to realise later that the entire story was stolen from an actual family in need. due diligence might take a few more minutes out of your day but at least you won’t be sending money to an opportunistic scumbag.
Horrifying testimonies from Gaza civilians released by Israel after being falsely labeled as Hamas members. They endured unspeakable torture, human dignity stripped away, subjected to hunger, electric shocks, and medical neglect leading to fatalities. Hundreds held for propaganda, enduring brutal and inhumane treatment. [source: @/ RamAbdu on X. 12/18/23.]
Why is the western media not interviewing Palestinian civilians abducted by Israel? Harrowing testimonies. Israeli soldiers urinated on them, spat on them, starved them, beat them, gave them electric shocks, and kept them blindfolded & fettered in uncomfortable positions for days on end. Some reportedly died from the freezing cold and medical neglect. [source: @/ abedtakriti on X.]
الله يثبتك و يلطف بقلبك يا عمري 🥺💔
Thinking about what journalist Momen Alsharafi said, after having lost 21 members of his family, that he is so worried about what will happen after the war.
"The question that haunts me is what should I do then? After the war, after the work pressure ends, in my free time, what should I do? What should I work on? How do I fill my free time? It's going to be long. No brothers, no sisters, no father or mother, not even the children I used to play with, my nieces and nephews."
This is going to be the reality of tens of thousands of people in Gaza who had lost everyone. Who will they go to for comfort? Who will be there to help them through? Who will they visit on holidays?
Israeli crimes aren't just what's happening at this moment, their impact is for a lifetime. Fuck israel.
