I sent a guy in Gaza sats via lightning which he then used to buy supplies for several people. He provided picture evidence of what he was able to buy with it, it was quite alot. I was curious about how he managed to spend them. He said there was an Israeli guy nearby that would convert lightning to Shekels, and then he used the Shekels to buy the supplies. I would imagine that the facility to convert in that way is all but impossible in Gaza at this stage.

Lets assume I was funding Hamas, which I wasn't. Our taxes are used to fund terrorist organisations and finance regime change operatives all around the world, but cut out the middle man (the State) and all of a sudden it's immoral? What's immoral for an individual suddenly becomes morally justified when the State ( a particular grouping of individuals) does it? The terrorist regime that concerns me is the State which forces it's citizens to contribute towards genocide in far flung corners of the world, or go to prison. If you removed the threat of imprisonment dangling over the heads of western taxpayers, and allowed them to choose whether or not they want to fund Israel, nobody would give a dime.
