Remember, kids, #philanthropy is #reputation-laundering.
This applies to sympathy-based #charities, too. Any #charity that is about looking down at our neighbors (#sympathy) is definitely not going to be run by people with #empathy.

Charities law in the UK is a mess. In fact a number of the larger charities spend far more raising money and rewarding their execs than they do in the areas they are meant to be addressing. Funding unlawful settlers in the West Banks is a small part of that corruption - but I suppose a start is a start but why has it taken so long? LFI will not like it though.
