Regulators are investigating a British charity over claims that a Gaza welfare organisation it has funded has close links to Hamas.

The Charity Commission is examining payments made by the We Care Foundation to the Qawafil Al Khair Association in Gaza, as well as other groups.

--snip--

The Qawafil Al Khair Association was founded in 2015 by two convicted Palestinian fighters, Mansour Rayan and Ali Al-Mughrabi.

Earlier this month. Al-Mughrabi was killed in Khan Younis in a targeted Israeli Defense Forces missile strike. Convicted for his part in a terror cell which organised a suicide bombing in Jerusalem in 2002, killing 11 people, he had been released in a prisoner swap in 2011.

Rayan was also freed in the 2011 prisoner swap, having been jailed for breaking into the home of Yoram Sakuri, an Israeli settler in the West Bank, in 1994, stabbing him to death, and wounding his wife.

That is not the agency whose workers were killed. AloeVera Mar 2025 #5

Coincidentally, it's also a known terrorist front. Huh. Imagine that. Hellbound Hellhound Mar 2025 #6

Only one exact match, and you only have to scroll past one from the top. It's even helpfully marked with a line for you. AloeVera Mar 2025 #8

My point is that you made a claim, and I decided to check it. Beastly Boy Mar 2025 #9

No, you made the original claim and it was *I* who decided to check it. AloeVera Mar 2025 #10

You checking the original claim and me checking your response are not mutually exclusive, are they? Beastly Boy Mar 2025 #11

Here is the correct foundation, I found it instantly, and it is NOT at all terrorism linked, others here are giving the Celerity Mar 2025 #12

Thank you, but I found no information there about their employees, whose names Beastly Boy Mar 2025 #13

Or the IDF is making up the "terrorist links" for the individuals. muriel_volestrangler Mar 2025 #14

I have yet to hear of a single instance of successful challenge to IDF upon their publishing the identities Beastly Boy Mar 2025 #15

I don't think "verifiable" means what you think it does. Or "facts". (nt) muriel_volestrangler Mar 2025 #18

I think both "verifiable" and "facts" means exactly what I think it means. (nt) Beastly Boy Mar 2025 #21
