Israeli Extremists Deplatformed Over Gaza Aid Attacks

An Israeli activist group that has been attacking aid shipments bound for the Gaza Strip was removed from a leading fundraising platform after Newsweek inquiries.

The Tzav 9 group's JGive fundraiser had raised more than $87,000 garnered from more than 1,480 donors, as of Thursday. The campaign page declared the group's intention to "stop the supply convoys from reaching Hamas," along with the Tzav 9 logo and its refrain of: "Victory depends on you!"

The group has vowed to block all aid until all remaining hostages taken captive during Hamas' October 7 attack—which killed some 1,200 people in southern Israel—are released from the Gaza Strip. "Supplies and humanitarian aid for Gazan civilians must be withheld until our hostages receive medicines, food and Red Cross visitation," the group's fundraising page said.
