Firstly, I want to thank you for everything you have done, guys. Important. The point is, I'm sorry if you see some people from gaza taking advantage of our death and the genocide we're going through. I want you not to think that everyone is like this. On the contrary, we in Gaza have our dignity above all else and great self-esteem. I hope that one of you will come to Gaza to share your experience and the hospitality of the Palestinian people in Gaza. This does not mean that just because some people are exploited, all people in Gaza are like this. We are not like that, but there are some greedy and exploitative people. while at swear to you that when Gofund Mai started, I felt that something detracted from my dignity. In the end, I would like to thank every person here who stood with our just cause and stood against the genocide we are experiencing. I hope you will share this post

It's difficult to ask for help, I understand what you mean about dignity. But good people want to help each other, and so I'm happy that those that need assistance like yourself have the opportunity to get help through things like gofundme.

I'm sure you have enough to worry about! There will be greedy people and exploitation anywhere, wise people can see that those in Gaza do need our help and aren't too worried about the few that might take advantage of that kindness.
