Allegations that PayPal is blocking Palestinian entrepreneurs in Gaza

[flashliberty]

There are allegations that PayPal is blocking transactions of Palestinian entrepreneurs in Gaza to the extent such claims are true I 100% condemn PayPal for taking those actions

Paypal is not supported or available in Palestine, there are lots of countries that are equally not supported or available as Paypal can only offer their services if the banks and governments of that country allow them to.

This is actually false as OFAC does allow people to conduct business in Gaza and the West Bank if it were just simply a compliance with sanctions laws issue i would not be posting about this issue https://ofac.treasury.gov/sanctions-programs-and-country-information/counter-terrorism-sanctions/pal...

Would you like to point out where Palestine appears on this list then?

I can also confirm that the accounts in Gaza that were 100% compliant and functional got closed without any reason.

This is going to backfire Paypal as the world is boycotting all that support and facilitate the genocide in Gaza. Hopefully soon all of them will be lined-up in a second "Nürnberg" to answer for the atrocities in Gaza and all who supported and facilitated that.

For me, i am moving all my transactions away from paypal and will be advising my surrounding to do so. Alternatives are plenty so you are not unique. just so you know.

Shame on you for blocking Gaza.

If you choose to no longer use paypal it matters not one jot to me !! Also I am not blocking anyone !!!

Palestine is not a paypal supported country (as are plenty of other countries).
