   @aral How are they getting food? Where are they buying it? As heartbreaking as it is for them individually, I've always felt like it helps more people if I support the UNRWA, the World Food Programme, and similar - people working to get resources in for everyone.

   I'm thinking about the people who can't get Internet access and who don't have access to the modern banking infrastructure. I want to help everyone, not just a few. So yes, we need to give, and to support more than just a few organizations, but we need to help at scale.

   This feels like giving a food bank a can of food as opposed to giving them money they can use for efficient bulk purchases.

   It's also important to address medical needs, so that's Doctor's Without Borders and the Middle-East Children's Alliance and similar.

   It shames me that my country is co-owner of the genocide.
