The Guardian identified at least 450 fundraising campaigns that are currently live on the site. Some 204 of these, initiated after 7 October, sought donations for tactical equipment or logistical support. Named beneficiaries included the IDF, individual IDF units, or paramilitary squads attached to specific Israeli communities, including many attached to West Bank settlements.

These Americans are funding international terrorism and are violating international law.

Yes, but something something God blah blah 🙄

Are these Israeli-Americans, or evangelicals who love Israel because they want it to burn so they can have The Second Coming?

There are way more evangelicals supporting Israel than there are Israeli-Americans, so I'd say mainly evangelicals. And that difference only gets bigger if you start including other conservative Christian groups.
