@JimmyB @aral Per Muslim Legal Fund of America:

"Providing aid through unlicensed U.S. charities or foreign charities is not advised because their aid may be considered material support of a foreign terrorist organization.....Providing direct aid to individuals or relatives in Gaza is not per se prohibited; however, it is not without risk. First, providing aid to any person in Gaza who is a member of Hamas or conducting combatant activities under the direction and control of Hamas can be considered material support."

I imagine for-profit companies such as GFM would be highly suspect of potentially providing material aid to terrorist groups, or individuals in locations controlled by said groups.

Hamas is designated a terrorist organization by the European Union. If I recall, Gaza Verified specifically does not vet individuals for Hamas affiliation.

That doesn't mean all individuals in Gaza are affiliated with Hamas. But going outside of official channels distinctly raises risks.

@inthehands So the ICC and Amnesty are immune from criticism? Not only that but it's pretty pointed and specific criticism, not just blanket dismissal.

@inthehands The problem here is that the ICC and Amnesty adjust their processes and words to fit the accusation, not the other way around.

For instance, Amnesty quite literally changed the definition of genocide to fit the accusation. Additionally, they champion people like Walid Daqqa.

Meanwhile, the ICC both lacks jurisdiction in the Israel / Hamas war (due to both the status of the territory and conditions of the Oslo Accords), and ignores far more open and flagrant violations of human rights by countries such as North Korea, Iran, and Syria.

These double-standards and shifting definitions to fit accusations, rather than accusations to fit definitions, is in itself antisemitic.
