IsraelGives is trying to pretend to be a different company called GivingTech, and they even told our partner that they were a separate US company! They are not, receipts attached.

I'm not sold on the idea that American companies are less shameful than Israeli companies.

Both nations are currently run by Nazis.

They are not changing their brand; they are trying to forge a birth certificate to escape public accountability https://chuffed.org/project/177144

Here they are raising money for Israeli soldiers committing a genocide.

They are nigh identical!

You can also see that IsraelGives and DAFtech (a product whose page linked to GivingTech) use the same logo, and that logo was also the favicon in the screenshots above.

After we put a small donation through it, the new website's title became "IsraelGives".

But actually we had a clue before: the donation form had the IsraelGives logo on it
