    @justcare @JimmyB Good job on trying to close one of the few remaining channels open to Palestinians facing genocide at Israel’s hands. Based on your other posts, it’s clear you’re in support of Israel and complicit in this genocide.

    You may now fuck off.

    @abeerabed22 Hi Abeer,

    I’m still seeing the link to https://gaza-verified.org (the main page) on your Mastodon profile (bio).

    The link should be https://gaza-verified.org/people/@abeerabed22@mastodon.social/ (which is already on the site).

    @nemobis Right, but those banks have to offer it via a partner bank in the SEPA zone (the UK should be part of it, unless something changed after Brexit). But yeah, the main issue is that Palestinian banks are excluded, afaik.

    It will then show as a green check mark on your account.

    @nemobis Many banks in Europe have restrictions on transferring to Palestinian banks. Palestinians can’t setup European bank accounts (that’s why people in Europe, etc., have to set up fundraisers for them, as GoFundMe, etc., won’t accept Palestinian banks).

    (SEPA – Single Euro Payments Area – is a Europe-only payment network.)

    @shadows I don’t think the folks who can’t vote because they can’t get time off work would be the ones to call themselves apolitical. Their bosses, maybe.

    GoFundMe apparently closed Abeer’s previous account and told her that donations would be refunded.

    I had made a donation during the Gaza Verified emergency appeal and, as I understand it, that money (a) was never transferred to Abeer by GoFundMe and (b) has not been refunded to me (to date).

    Do any of you have people you know who work at GoFundMe.

    Unless I’m missing something, and if this money doesn’t reach Abeer or get refunded, it would appear that GoFundMe is closing accounts that are set up to help Palestinians and fraudulently keeping the money.

    Also, if you have friends in the press and/or in any regulatory bodies that might be able to help, please share this.

    At #CPDP2026, sponsored by Google (Alphabet) and Microsoft, companies complicit in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people according to the UN:

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/1/un-report-lists-companies-complicit-in-israels-genocide-who-are-they

    If you can’t even abide by #BDS to show solidarity with the people of Gaza are you truly an ally?

    https://bdsmovement.net/microsoft

    https://bdsmovement.net/no-tech-oppression-apartheid-or-genocide

    If you’re anti genocide you would be boycotting Microsoft and Google and thus boycotting #CPDP2026 which is sponsored by them.

      Also important to understand that Ben-Gvir posts torture videos like that all the time, with Palestinian prisoners. And the world has been silent until now, when Europeans appeared in the videos instead of Palestinians.

    English is a funny language… terms and phrases can mean more than one thing based on usage.

    Take “I’m apolitical”, for example.

    When it expresses that you only care about this quarter’s profits while the planet burns, it means “I’m stupid.”

    When it’s that you can’t be bothered about the plight of people less fortunate than you, it means “I’m privileged” and “fuck you, I got mine.”

    And when it shows that you’re neutral about – and thus actively complicit in – genocide, it means “I’m evil.”

    What a language, eh?
