In response to that last boost about people being shits to Palestinian fundraisers. It's a classic of oppression Step 1: restrict people's access to financial services. Ban them from having bank accounts, moving money, ect. This doesn't have to be an explicit ban, onerous bureaucratic requirements like official identity documentation also works, or declarations of terrorism Step 2: define the acts they take to survive this as suspicious. Eg possession of large amounts of cash, sex work, mutual aid requests, ect Step 3: use that suspicion to justify further prosecution, further marginalising the target. Confiscation of assets, banning of accounts used for fundraising There are many, many examples of this happening
