If you don't care about repercussions, which link is best for sending directly to Palestinians? I've actually asked organizers around here that as well and the answer is unclear.

red crescent or msf if you really are concerned about it. red crescent is an offshoot of the red cross so idg why it would cause a stir

IK EDIT: I don't know if this post below was a joke or a bit on behalf of the poster, but DO NOT donate to organizations that have been officially labeled as terrorist organizations by the US and other western countries. It will ruin your life.

Just to CMA, how can I know if a Palestinian aid organization is on a terror watch list? Or any other charity?

Now i learned this in 5 minutes flat and didn't look twice since I edited the op. So I'm no expert: but charity navigator + ctrl+f tax on their webpage to see if its tax deductible.

PCRF is fine

Look them up here https://www.charitynavigator.org/?c...9YaApofEALw_wcB

If your very paranoid you can take the ein that you’ll find on the link above and look it up here https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/tax-exempt-organization-search

If it’s on Amazon smile it’s fine, Amazon isn’t funneling money to Hamas

When I typed up that response to “be careful” it was really more to just do a bit of diligence because this isn’t like some mutual aid network or the like where the worst that can happen is you PayPal someone $50 and get ripped off, you could actually get in trouble if you give money to the wrong orgs

thats a totally legitimate concern and its good that posters are looking after one another because of the different countries involved

Sorry I'm late
I donated to pcrf and msf through the website my job has, making me presume the legal department has signed off on donating to them not being aggressively prosecuted federal crimes in the United States.

Heres another one to add
IWW (via gofundme)

edit added more info
In light of increasing violence in Israel and Palestine, the IWW Freelance Journalists Union expresses its solidarity with the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, a member of the International Federation of Journalists.

The ongoing war has already claimed the lives of at least 10 journalists, per the PJS. This current wave of killings occurs in the context of hundreds of violations and crimes against Palestinian journalists perpetrated by the Israeli occupation every year, as reported by the PJS.

To protect journalists, the PJS requires media outlets to provide safety vests, helmets and gas masks for employees, but this equipment is often unavailable to freelancers. The IWW PPWU-FJU is therefore fundraising to provide the PJS with 50 such kits for freelancers. We encourage all journalists, union members and others to support the PJS by contributing to this fundraiser and sharing widely both the fundraiser and the PJS’s most recent statement on the current war (below).

I absolutely did not mean for this guy to get banned answering my question. I just wanted to know what charities are best for directly aiding people. Sorry to him tbh, I feel like I set him up.

I tried to donate to the Red Crescent (since I did the PCRF before), but somehow it's not going through when I click the amount. Are they still getting DDOS'ed?
