„One man was arrested for 'chants inciting hatred' during the protest, held outside the Notting Hill restaurant owned by Israeli chef Eyal Shani and his business partner, Shahar Segal. Segal previously served as a spokesperson for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.“

@pelle blocked @ErikvanStraten so he could not reply.

There is WAY too little food and other aid entering Gaza - because Israel blocks it.

Giving specific Gazans an advantage over others, who do not have internet access and/or don't speak English (and don't know how to use Google Translate), is simply unfair.

In addition, it stimulates crime: theft of aid by gangs sold on black markets to those who DO have money. Note that there are lots of orphan children in Gaza.

Instead of wasting money on either scammers or cheats, convince your government to boycot Israel.

@Anawan : undoubtly Aral's intentions are good.

However, even if I'd have the money, I would definitely not donate like this under the current circumstances.

Reasons:

• The problem is not lack of aid (there's plenty waiting in Jordan, Egypt and Israel) - the problem is getting it into Gaza and distribute it fairly to everyone in need (prioritising the most vulnerable people).

• Remote authentication is extremely unreliable. Chances are huge that your money will flow straight into the pockets of impostors claiming to be victims in Gaza - but may actually live on the other side of the world.

• Giving money to selected people will cause them to benefit personally from buying food and other aid distributed by criminals. That wouldn't be such a big problem if said aid was not withheld from people who cannot afford it and need it most.

Donating to one or more of the world-wide aid organisations is less discriminating, a lot fairer and helps combatting crime (theft of aid).

How Israel's policies created famine in Gaza

Israel has systematically obstructed food entering Gaza, aid agencies say, as a UN-backed body confirms a famine.
