Israel stops aid going in. Yes, donate to the amazing charities doing the work our elected representatives should be ensuring, but also the people in Gaza need monetary help as well. This is all on us and if maybe a few scams happen, thats still on us. We havent got the right to this dismissiveness

Potentially doing a lot of heavy lifting. If scammers or worse get money I intended for a family that is desperate to feed their families or get emergency medical care then thats on all of us in the West. My money is already going towards genocide thanks to our governments. So is yours.

No, you getting scammed and funding a torturing, raping crime wing is not the fault of some nebulous of "the west." What the hell are you on about?

You are justifying potentially giving money to horrifying human trafficking rings in the interest of feeling morally superior on the Internet. I hope you are able to eventually accept that you’ve been scammed and start directing your money to legitimate places. But can’t say I’m holding my breath.

Your argument just isnt convincing enough. Why should Palestinians be denied because of that? How long ago was it that our governments were attacking UNRWA? The UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese is under US sanction right now. Aid from the charities is being stopped. Thats where our money goes.

Why are you so curiously opposed to donating to well-vetted charities instead of shady accounts that are currently actively stealing/buying accounts in ways highly congruent with cyber-crime (as @rahaeli.bsky.social, an expert, has elaborated upon)?

Why are you rationalizing the high probability that you, and many others here, have been scammed? Faine listed a ton of legitimate organizations to donate to and you're blowing that off and then talking about tax revenue. 🤣

It wouldn't surprise me at all if that's a scam account as well. If not, they just don't want to admit they've been suckered. And the comment about "our governments are doing a genocide anyway," just tells me they're not a serious person.

"High probability"? who decided that? You do not even have the ability to work out if I'm a scam or a real person but I'm suppose to take your statement as a fact.

I don’t think you’re a scammer or fake, but I do think you need to confront the fact that you’ve been scammed and start directing your money to legitimate charities.
