Palestine
Charities and Organizations
*From a contributor who has been in activist circles since childhood. "Part of the funds PCRF and UNRWA and the rest get go towards Palestinians in refugee camps in other places like Lebanon or Jordan. But also a good chunk is building up the resources so that the minute they can get into Gaza they already have the supplies purchased. There's an extraordinary amount of prep that goes into those trucks at the Rafah crossing. Money helps with that, even if it can't get into Gaza yet."

History and Current Events
US Military Funding to Israel: Every year, the U.S. government writes Israel a blank check for at least $3.8 billion to fund Israel’s violence against the Palestinian people. The Israeli military then uses your tax dollars to kill Palestinian people, destroy their homes, and steal their native land, in violation of U.S. laws.
