An Australian charity, which says it raises funds for humanitarian causes in Israel, transferred nearly $29m in donations in 2024 to Keren Hayesod, a self-described “pillar” of the state of Israel and its “national priorities”, which include support for members of the Jewish diaspora who come from around the world to enlist in the Israeli army.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza was at its peak in 2024, with more than 100 people being killed each day, the majority of them women and children.
The charity in question is United Israel Appeal (UIA) Australia. It is Keren Hayesod’s fundraising arm in the country.

Unpopular opinion, but Australia has a LOT of pent up racism. Like, US levels. Thinkof parts of Australia like you would the reddest of redneck areas of America.

Well if a charity says they raise funds for humanitarian purposes, and gives it to the military, then, they should be shut down, and the management jailed. Done
