Far-right groups that block aid to Gaza receive tax-deductible donations from US and Israel
Under American pressure, Israel has pledged to deliver large quantities of humanitarian aid into the war-ravaged Gaza Strip. But at the same time, the U.S. and Israel have allowed tax-deductible donations to far-right groups that have blocked that aid from being delivered.
Three groups that have prevented humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza — including one accused of looting or destroying supplies — have raised more than $200,000 from donors in the U.S. and Israel, The Associated Press and the Israeli investigative site Shomrim have found in an examination of crowdfunding websites and other public records.
Incentivizing these donations by making them tax-deductible runs counter to America’s and Israel’s stated commitments to allow unlimited food, water and medicine into Gaza, say groups working to get more aid into the territory. Donations have continued even after the U.S. imposed sanctions against one of these groups.
By not cracking down on these groups, Israel is showing a “lack of coherence” in its Gaza aid policy, said Tania Hary, executive director of Gisha, an Israeli nonprofit that has long called on Israel to improve conditions in the territory.
Oh no, it's perfectly coherent. Give a fig leaf to apologists while pursuing literal genocide. It's coherent - just vile beyond belief.
Yeah fighting for your very existence is vile. Tell me another one.
This may come as a surprise, but Israel can continue to exist without killing 1 out of every 100 Palestinians in less than a year.
The Nazis fought for their very existence too. I’m not shedding a tear over the loss.
A couple thousand Hamas terrorists with improvised rockets, rocks, and whatever little they manage to smuggle across some of the most tightly controlled borders in the world are NOT an existential threat to the country that controls those borders and have one of the most powerful and advanced militaries in the history of humanity, with millions of actual and potential recruits.
They're fighting NOT to protect their own existence, but to kill or displace all Palestinians. The vast majority of whom are innocent civilians, of course.
Imagine the Native Americans are fighting back against a genocide and you're taking the side of the colonizers. That's what you look like right now. It's incredible that people get themselves into the mindset to support a genocide, but I suppose it must be possible people like you exist or the Nazis wouldn't have gotten as far as they did.
