Foreigners continuing to pump money into Gaza are responsible for creating Hamas and the conditions that have kept this region at war for decades.

Hello! You seem to be commenting in bad faith and with the intention to sow discord and spread misinformation on this page. Bummer! But no worries, your comment (and the ones I'm sure you'll continue to leave, to which I'll just keep replying with this same message) only generates more algorithmic engagement and increases the likelihood that this post will be seen by more people who *do* want to help Palestinian children in need -- and there are a lot of such people, considering this fundraiser has earned around $10,000 as of the time of this writing. So, thank you! I hope you have the day you deserve!

That money is going directly to fund Hamas terrorist activities https://www.ngo-monitor.org/ngos/palestine_children_s_relief_fund_ohio_/

As long as it’s not going to fund Israeli terrorism.

The link you provided does not prove the claim you are making. You seem to be referring to an organization, Holy Land Foundation, which was accused by the US government of funneling money to "terrorist organizations." The organization attempted to donate $50,000 to PCRF. There is no evidence that PCRF is funding Hamas. And if there was evidence that it was doing so then it would certainly find itself in the crosshairs of the US government. PCRF is a legally compliant, award winning charity doing vital work to save life in Gaza. The non-partisan and apolitical charity evaluator, Charity Navigator, gives PCRF a four star and 97/100 rating. https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/931057665

Here is an interview with a doctor and board member with PCRF

Hamas are freedom fighters.

Please please please, pick a different charity if you truly want the money to go to the children! I'm not asking you to not raise money, which is a good cause, but where it's going. There are actual orgs who are truly doing good in Gaza and care about the people.

This is known Hamas affiliated charity according the DOJ! This is a report all the way back from 2006: www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/usao/legacy/2006/02/14/usab5104.pdf

You are incorrect here. The page that Gail linked has been repeatedly discredited, the Bloomberg page says nothing about PCRF, and the DOJ report does not state that PCRF was complicit in any way re: supporting Hamas. PCRF itself states on its website:

How can PCRF ensure that donations do not fall into the hands of Hamas?

PCRF’s policy is to administer medical care and humanitarian aid in compliance with U.S. laws. We check individuals and agencies against computerized lists of terrorist organizations cited by the U.S. Treasury Department on its Office of Foreign Assets Control list.

PCRF’s local staff vigorously evaluates our partners and vendors to ensure legal compliance.

PCRF is audited annually by independent auditors (see our most recent audit), and we follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which are standard financial guidelines for most non-governmental organizations.

quoting the org itself is insane, but oh well, it's your money

Thank you for doing this! I've shared with my subscribers, but for the first time ever, there's been a delay in a newsletter going out, and it hasn't sent yet. Super weird, and I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else participating in this fundraiser.

Spoke too soon. For some reason there was a 20ish minute delay in it sending.

Please educate yourself. The money does not go to the children but to Hamas for violence https://www.ngo-monitor.org/ngos/palestine_children_s_relief_fund_ohio_/

Hey Boris, please get a grip. No one here supports anything other than the cause of sending aid to Palestinian children in need via a highly vetted and legitimate organization. If you keep commenting in bad faith and stirring shit up, I'll block ya. Thanks!

Sorry, I outgrew zionism when I left the mormon cult. That won't work on me. Free Palestine forever and always.

I’m not questioning your priorities or trying to convert you. I am saying that this is an illegal fundraiser for an organization that illegally funnels your hard earned

money directly to Hamas murderers.

Expand full comment

I'm not going to go back and forth with you but this line from your last post says enough about what kind of propaganda you're trying to promote here: "Israel warned residents incessantly, really near ridiculous levels- flyers, calls, texts, announcements, notices falling from the sky with warnings and even cute pics of Sinwar. Citizens were given time and notice to get out. "

Gazans have marched from the north to Rafah to the "safe zones" designated by Israel since last October. Each safe zone subsequently bombed. Homes, schools and hospitals destroyed. We've all seen it with our own eyes. Give it a rest and take your revisionist history elsewhere.

This Gail is a zionist troll, she's has been trolling every single person who has commented. She has nothing better to do because she is pathetic.

Expand full comment

So you're saying you don't care if your money doesn't actually go to the children you're trying to help and goes to Hamas, the terrorist organization, who rejoices in those children dying?

Expand full comment

We've all seen enough videos of the members of the IDF rejoicing in exactly that thing you're accusing hamas of. Next question? Thanks for the engagement on this post
