Anyway, maybe someone has already posted, but does anybody know what the most/a fairly efficient way to donate to Palestinian aid is? Red Cross? MSF? Something else?

MSF do good work in Gaza atm, but you can't earmark your donation only to Gaza operations. That's not to say you shouldn't go with them - they do great work all over the place and I assume most of their recent donations will go towards Gaza stuff seeing as it's pretty big atm. Your other good options afaik are Red Crescent and PCRF (palestinian's children relief fund)

Would you be donating from the UK or Canada? There are a number of appeals running from UK:

https://donate.unrwa.org/gaza/~my-donation

https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donation-details/179

https://www.oxfam.org.uk/oxfam-in-action/current-emergencies/gaza-crisis-appeal/

https://donate.redcross.org.uk/appeal/israel-and-occupied-palestinian-territory-appeal

https://www.msf.org/palestine

Can't comment as to efficiency, but I suggest using legitimate charities would be best in the current climate lest you be accused of sponsoring terrorism.

Best check any Canadian laws on the subject if you are donating from there.

At least some people (tories!) have a brain in their head:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/gaza-war-crimes-uk-rishi-sunak-b2429728.html

quote:


The British government could be complicit in war crimes in Gaza if it does not do more to “restrain” Israel, a senior Conservative MP has warned.

Crispin Blunt, a former chair of parliament’s foreign affairs committee, has written to Rishi Sunak warning the UK is in “legal peril” on account of his “apparent unqualified support to the policy of the government of Israel”.

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, which Mr Blunt co-chairs, has issued a notice of intention to prosecute UK officials and says there is “clear evidence that Israel has committed war crimes”.

....

Mr Blunt is the second prominent Tory MP to raise the alarm over the issue after Alicia Kearns, the current chair of the foreign affairs committee, said the UK should be “tough with our friends”.

...

Speaking on Sky News on Saturday morning, Mr Blunt said: “If you know that a party is going to commit a war crime – and this forcible transfer of people is a precise breach of one of the statutes that governs international law and all states in this area – then you are making yourself complicit.”

“And as international law has developed in this area, the fact of being complicit makes you equally guilty to the party carrying out the crime.”

My theory is that the Brit government are waiting for the UN to actually oppose Israel, at which point the tories can then make the UN the new EU in terms of "world governments who are stopping us doing whatever the gently caress we want."

No-one likes or respects him. I hear he boils mince. I hear he bothers dogs. I hear he runs over cyclists. I hear he doesn't prosecute paedos. I hear he doesn't like the Princess Bride. I hear John Major is racier. I hear he thinks Bobby Fingers is poo poo.

France might hang on thanks to being a major player in the EU, even if Germany is more famous as the top nation in the organisation. They certainly seem like their international influence has firmed foundations than the UK's.

Oxfam get a lot of stick (hint: it’s because they’re outspokenly against the causes of poverty, not just the symptoms, and although they can’t be party political you’d be hard pressed to find anyone on the campaign staff who isn’t some flavour of socialist) but they’re actually one of the most efficient charities in the sector, with 84% of all donations going to development, emergency aid or campaigning (10% support costs, the much feted ‘admin’) and 8% on fundraising.

They direct all sanitation response globally, heading up the UN WASH cluster, and have been in Gaza for a long time so now how things work. Looking at the website they’re also explicitly calling Israel’s response disproportionate, which is nice.

Yes, I did used to work for them, why do you ask? No, I didn’t work in Haiti, before one of you cheeky bastards cracks that joke.
