That’s about one quarter of the entire population of Israel, including children. The equivalent in the US would be almost 90 million people taking to the streets.

From what I understand GoFundMe is pretty strict with verification for these campaigns, so maybe chill on reporting people. Actual scammers will just use Venmo or PayPal or something.
I know it’s distressing seeing people every day pleading for money not to starve especially if there’s little you can do to help. But at the very least stop with the assumptions that Gaza fundraisers are all scammers and stop labeling/reporting their accounts!! They’re real people trying to survive!

Buried in the regime's political takeover letter of the Smithsonian is the worst bit. Unlike exhibits, which are non-destructive towards primary materials, temporary in nature, and reversible, the foundational collections are irreplacable. They want to be able to throw stuff out.

Apparently now we have to be aware of Penske trucks because DHS has a contract with Penske and they’ve been using them for illegal ICE raids.
California doesn’t allow for passengers to ride inside trucks so they’re breaking the law to break the law deporting innocent people.
