Hey, this is kind of sensitive to ask, but, why do you support Palestinian scam bots and their lies?
I can attest that the people I answered & reblogged are not scam bots, they're vetted by actual Palestinians (look up @/90-ghost, @/nabulsi, @/el-shab-hussein, @/bilal-salah0, @/northgazaupdates, and @/gazavetters for example)
I also follow scam busters here (like @/kyra45, @/anonthescambuster, & @/scam-alerts) to be sure if an ask raise red flags, and I always be looking up usernames to be sure. (Also follow guides that teach you to spot scams and recognizing their patterns)
More imporantly, most Palestinians don't speak English as it's not their native language (aside from a few that speak). Most use translators to communicate and it's not common for them to reuse phrases, they're likely to save the text in their notes for faster messaging (take this with a grain of salt, I'm just spit balling of what I know for a year).
I hope this clears up any misconception, and please be aware of your bias as you don't want to label a group as something scummy (it would be a sure-fire way for outsiders labeling you as heartless, and it opens the gate for harassment).
If you're unsure & skeptical of what I'm saying, it's fine. You can filter out certain tags and the block button is ready, it's up to you.
Apathy, indifference, ignorance, fear, silence, and inaction are fascism’s favorite tools to demonized vulnerable groups and easier to eliminate. Don’t be a cog to its machine.
That brings the next following question: do you have evidence that Palestinian blogs are scam bots? If not, then you’re accusing people out of thin air and knowing or not, aiding their oppressors' hateful rhetoric to justify their horrible actions.
Full stop, do not fuel their fire. I am sorry for this long post, but please do not label accounts verified by Palestinian vetters as scam bots. Scam bots & such suck balls and deserve the absolute worst, but not all Palestinian fundraisers are scams.
Remember:
you have word filters and a block button at your disposal, and I hope this doesn’t offend or upset you.
