    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.

      Firstly, we found this because we were evaluating a partner and they used a site called secureddonation.com. 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

      Once we started probing, the commonalities were everywhere. Both organizations have the same CEO, working concurrently for both companies for the last 4 years.

          On LinkedIn, the company is listed as headquartered in Tel Aviv.

          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.

            But if all of that somehow doesn't convince you, check the websites. They are nigh identical!

            Dig deeper into the tech, and the IsraelGives website loads called givingtech.css (I thought they were a separate company!), which has an identical hash to the GivingTech one.

                Of course, it's not just that - IsraelGives is an evil organization. Here they are raising money for Israeli soldiers committing a genocide.

                  This is part of a trend of Israeli companies trying to rebrand their way out of genocide, occupation and boycotts.

                        @paulbiggar When a company is forced to claim to be a "separate entity" in another country in order to survive, it is a tacit admission that the name "Israel" has become synonymous with genocide and human rights abuses. They are not changing their brand; they are trying to forge a birth certificate to escape public accountability https://chuffed.org/project/177144

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

                            Both nations are currently run by Nazis.
