which is why a lot of Gazans are looking for people to champion their cause for when things like that happen. and while they do have internet it's not always very good.

there's a lot of systematic restrictions in place against Palestinian's to begin with so Israel doesn't have to do a lot of work in that regard. for instance, there is a systematic campaign on bsky to report Gazan accounts, getting them restricted or banned.

Interesting. That is true… for some portion of the population at least.

It’s definitely worth being aware of all the factors involved here.

Thanks for your perspective.

Interesting.
To clarify I don’t think the scammers are actually people from Palestine.

My guess is Israel and others would be more likely to interfere in such underhanded ways.

Like for one thing… how are they communicating under those conditions? 🙅🛜

If they can communicate… then how do they receive the funds when all the banks, infrastructure & means of travel are destroyed or heavily disrupted by Israel? ⛔️🏦🏧

Donations to organizations seems more reliable.

That’s good to know.
I also like to donate to Amnesty International.

Have you identified any fraud?
There has to be some percentage of it going on even if most are actually authentic.

People need strong epistemological tools to determine fraud from legitimate need.

@bsky.app & @moderation.bsky.app says my account is intolerant. Perhaps they mean intolerable to wealthy elites.
