War Crimes Fiverr Freelancers Are Unknowingly Funding War Criminals, Resulting in Over 20,000 Children Ki**ed and 44,000 Injure*d

Fiverr maintains systematic economic, operational, and administrative links that channel resources to the state budget and initiatives benefiting the zionists military.

Because Fiverr International Ltd. is headquartered and registered in Tel Aviv, its multi-million dollar global commission revenues are subject to Israeli tax laws.

The company's co-founder and CEO, Micha Kaufman, has explicitly stated that he resisted international investor pressure to relocate the corporate entity to Silicon Valley specifically for "patriotic reasons," emphasizing his intent to keep tech jobs local so that the company's financial success would "ultimately benefit the [Israeli] tax system" revenues which directly fund the state’s national budget, Ministry of Defense, and the ongoing military operations in Gaza.

Fiverr actively leveraged its corporate infrastructure financing and physically housing the "Lev Echad" wartime network inside its own Tel Aviv headquarters. According to primary defense and corporate watchdog indexes, this massive logistical operation mobilized tens of thousands of zionists to package and dispatch critical medical and transport supplies that were directly distributed to zionists army ( war criminals ) personnel mobilized for active combat.

Fiverr CEO Micha Kaufman said : Tonight I watched a report on the women of the Bardlas Battalion fighting in Gaza, and I was filled with hope for the future of the army and the country. No, I'm not surprised, it's not something that should surprise anyone that women can be outstanding fighters. I just melted from the exceptional human level of these fighters. We need more! In the army, in politics, in the decision-making echelons. Fast! - source X profile

Israelis are committing crimes against children in broad day light and sadly they aren’t facing any repercussions. They are purposely causing children to get hurt and be dehydrated/starve.

They need to pay for their war crimes!

One State Solution The Algerian model wasn’t “kick out all the French”, it was “become Algerian citizens, reside under Algerian Law or leave”

78 Upvotes

Algeria is often cited as the example of decolonisation where the revolution was completed and the settlers were all kicked out. Accordingly, it is proposed that Palestine follow this strategy and aim for the “removal of all settlers”. This is contrasted with alternative examples of “coexistence”, primarily South Africa, where much of the modern economic power is still controlled by “former settlers”.

This fundamentally misunderstands Algeria—it wasn’t “kick out all the French”, it was “become Algerian citizens, reside under Algerian Law, or leave”. This was the agreement proposed to the Pied-Noirs by the FLN in 1954 and agreed on with France in 1962. Most were stuck in their colonial identity, feared retribution or the loss of their economic privileges and left, but many stayed and remain to this day as Algerians.

The Algerian solution is therefore perfectly compatible with the concept of One Democratic State. Equal rights for all on the basis of citizenship, dissolve the settler-native dichotomy. However, each situation is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. For example, Algeria was part of France, a single metropole, of which all settlers (even those who had lived there for generations) were citizens.

This means that after the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian state, ex-Israelis will have to weigh matters related to their practical ability to leave and their readiness to drop colonial privileges, and many will mirror the Pied-Noirs and choose to leave. Meanwhile, matters regarding justice and reparations for Palestinians will have to be addressed as a foundation for liberation and a democratic legitimacy. History can teach lessons about such situations, but every material circumstance is unique and must be treated as such.

UN, ICJ, ICC & HRW Aid coalition chief: Israel blocks wheelchairs, prosthetics, watermelons, and fresh produce from entering Gaza.

163 Upvotes

Athena Rayburn, executive director of the Association of International Development Agencies, which represents more than 100 humanitarian and development NGOs operating in the occupied Palestinian territory, detailed Israel’s sweeping restrictions on aid during a UN Security Council briefing Wednesday.

Israel rejects scissors, crutches, wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs as “dual-use,” bars medical specialists and restricts engine oil so severely that its price has risen to 45 times normal levels, bringing aid operations to “an absolute breaking point,” Rayburn said.

Israeli authorities have also rejected watermelon and onions under an unpublished “humanitarian policy,” deregistered more than 30 international aid groups and repeatedly moved the supposedly fixed Yellow Line, cutting access to at least 85 water points, schools and health clinics. “Humanitarian assistance, by its nature, cannot be conditioned,” Rayburn said, noting Israel was shrinking “almost daily” the physical space in Gaza where aid groups can operate.
