Started the day with a Propagandhi album which I really highly recommend as a day starter. Motivating as hell.

La Catalogna, i capelli al vento e il motore anteriore più potente al mondo

Hello all,

Well, this is an announcement I never wanted to make.

We discovered today that one of members, who, although he is from Gaza and a victim of genocide, has nevertheless not represented his current situation honestly. And I have had the terrible task of removing them and one of our new members, a friend of his, from Gaza Verified.

Now, before I tell you what happened, I want to stress this:

I am not saying they are not from Gaza or have not suffered from this genocide. What I am saying is that they have not been honest with us and thereby are no longer a part of the Gaza Verified group. If anyone needs verification that they are from Gaza, you can link to this post that states that we believe that they are.

The accounts are:

• @ahmedosama
• @ayaa7

And here’s what happened:

While trying to understand why Ahmed couldn’t connect to group video chats in Signal, I ended up looking up his IP address to check if he was using a VPN and saw that he was in Egypt. When I asked if he was using a VPN, he told me no. When I confronted him and asked if he was in Egypt instead of Gaza, he confessed. He stressed, however, that he did send the $1,200 we raised for him for a tent and land back to his family in Gaza. But it was not, as he had stated, because he and his son had evacuated from North Gaza to the South and needed shelter.

He had been in Egypt this whole time.

And that is unacceptable.

(We do have members from Gaza who are in Egypt and have family in Gaza but they have told us this openly and it is not a problem as we want to help support the evacuations of their families.)

His friend Aya, who is in Egypt and has family in Gaza, had just joined the group and knew of this deception. They are friends and both in Egypt.

In any case, a chain of distrust works the same way as a chain of trust, only in reverse.

I am taking great pains to do everything as openly and transparently as I possibly can. And that includes things like this.

Going forward, we are also implementing additional protocols for our verification process.

I have told Ahmed that I will take no further action against his Mastodon account or fundraiser if he updates his profile and his fundraiser to accurately present his current situation and he has agreed to this.

I have removed Ahmed and Aya from the Gaza Verified web site and they are no longer allowed to display the link. Should the links remain up, their verified status should expire when the Mastodon server/app caches for their profiles expire.

I am quite hurt by this personally but also angry as it means that I have lost today to dealing with this instead of preparing the campaign for next week and the last thing I want is families hurt because of it. Time is of the essence as families are being bombed by Israel nightly.

I will draw a line under this now and start afresh with preparing for next week’s campaign tomorrow.

Please, if you can, keep supporting us and our effort to save the families in the danger zone in the North and get them to relative safety in the South.

I will update you on my progress again tomorrow.

Überlegen wir mal:

All die Erben der reichen Faschos und andere Radikale setzen langfristig auf „grüne Hochburgen“ wie Neuseeland, Kanada, Alaska, Skandinavien – Orte mit reichlich Süßwasser, moderaten Temperaturen und politischer (!) Stabilität.

True?
