Is Visa blocking donations to Gaza - eviltoast

I’m trying to donate to Gaza through the Qatari rcs, but the transaction failed from the issuer side. I’ve tried donating to the Kuwaiti rcs too, but same issue.

I’ve called my local card provider and they confirmed no issues from their side. Is Visa blocking donations to Palestine? I’ve tried many variations many times, and I always get the “declined due to blocked store”.

    According to Palestinian channels it can be difficult to donate, especially now with the blackout.

    Also, be careful about who you donate to. Unfortunately some groups can land you on the terrorist list.

      Incredible that when the government sells weapons to countries in conflict it’s good business sense, but when you donate money to Palestinians being genocided you’re sponsoring terrorism.

      Maybe I should send them a glock with my donation, maybe then it would be called business.
