Gaza is the world's biggest charity fraud scam

Last December, researchers published a paper going into detail on how charity scams work. "Pirates of Charity: Exploring Donation-based Abuses in Social Media Platforms"

Recently, there has been an increase in fraudsters using social engineering tactics to trick people into donating to fake charities or causes. These tricks often include playing on sympathy and asking for a donation. ...Donation fraud, which is also commonly known as charity scam, is where scammers solicit money from individuals in the pretense of a charitable cause, disaster relief, or other seemingly legitimate reasons . ... The scammers deceive donors by pretending to represent real charities or by creating fictitious causes, often using emotional appeals to make urgent donations. Once the money is donated, it is typically diverted for the scammer’s personal use, and the intended cause or individuals in need receive no benefit.

This is a near perfect description of the Gaza aid scam. Except that instead of individual fraudsters, Hamas has managed to partner with NGOs and world governments to give it money in the guise of "aid for Gaza."

A quick comparison:

Scam charities use heart-string stories and photos: a sick child, injured pet, dying parent

Hamas propaganda uses vivid depictions of wounded children, demolished homes, funerals.

Scam charities emphasize that you must give money now, or else there will be catastrophic results. 

Hamas propaganda has been saying the same thing since October 8.

Donors cannot verify the truth behind the story on the charity scam site. 

Same with Gaza - all the information is controlled by Hamas.

Charity scams say how many people have already donated, to lend legitimacy to the cause.

The Hamas scam relies on world outrage, NGO statements and mass demonstrations to give the same psychological effect that everyone good is already deciding to be on their side.

Questioning a charity scam makes one look like they are cold-hearted.

Questioning Hamas casualty statistics or famine claims get the exact same kinds of responses.

They share the same DNA:

- Emotion before verification

- Absence of  vetting

- Illusion of consensus

- Truth fragments repurposed for false conclusions

- Amplification through coordinated timing and mass sharing

When you send money to charity scams, a fraudster gets rich,

When you send money and social support to Gaza, Hamas stays in power.

I'm not saying that there is not misery in Gaza, but I am saying that the way that aid gets there is not transparent. 

You wouldn't tolerate that in a real charity. Why does the world accept it when the beneficiary is a terror group?
