    That’s why I asked. Because any fake people ruin it for the real people.

    Last post wanting money, I just asked in seriousness how does the money get to you, and how do you actually spend cash in Gaza? And they deleted the post altogether. So that tells me the person was fake.

    This one says family of six, but the photos were of four individual people that didn’t seem to be family unit. Usually a family in need posts a family photo, rather than random headshots.

    Its OK to be skeptical and curious. Look how many fake Ukraine gofundmes there were when that broke out.

      @BCsven You’re not curious. Than you would have found out by which means Palestinians in Gaza have been surviving this genocide during the last 3 years. You’re judgemental and accusatory.

        My approach may have been harsh, I gave seen too many grifts for Palestine and ukraine I guess.

        And what is happening in Gaza is horrible, and the world’s leaders are complicIt or actually sending aid while also arming Israel.

        I still get the vibe from the photos in the funsig link that something is off. The one photo has a look like photo shop or AI. And they all seem the same age. Most with a family in need take a family selfie so you can see the family you are aupporting

      @BCsven

      About the money, several options to receive it: Paypal, cryptocurrency, IBAN.

      About the photos, I can say that not everyone is comfortable to share their pictures online, for different reasons.
