⚠️🚨URGENT CONCERNS REGARDING: "REBUILD GAZA" AID PROJECT🚨⚠️
**Don't shoot the whistle-blower!!**

This group's conduct is dangerous, immoral and potentially criminal.

Please read the thread below

🧵👇

Firstly, Shameen Suleman who runs the fundraising for "Rebuild Gaza" is confirmed to have been convicted of defrauding doctors well over $1 million and was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for her role in a 2008 wine investment scam.

continued..

One victim was defrauded of $500,000 (!!!) in one go after they remortgaged their home for Shameen's investment scam

Shameen used "high-pressure sales techniques" to extract funds from professionals.

Please DM for all sources

continued below..

May 2024: Shameen heard of British-Palestinian Dr Mohammed who was selflessly working in Gaza to help his people.

Shameen began regular fundraising under her new "Rebuild Gaza" label. To this day, there is no transparency of the funds raised, with a reported $10k MISSING!!🤨

👇

The doctor's personal details were released + his testimony was seized upon by Leila Hatoum + "NYplaid" to attack healthcare NGOs + sow distrust in their services by framing them as complicit intelligence operations

continued..

Sowing distrust in the NGOs harmed doctors + patients in desperate need.

Sarah Wilkinson & Shameen Suleman declared - without evidence - that even baby milk from these NGOs were likely poisonous and the doctor was told not to work with the NGOs 😳

continued..

Through these attacks on NGOs, it made it seem that the doctor was the instigator which further alienated the doctor from these NGOs

See the video below in which the CEO of Fajr Scientific refers to this attack being "led by the Palestinian doctor"

continued...

By putting the doctor in such a position, Leila, Nyplaid, Sarah and Shameen risked the safety and status of the doctor, as well as furthering his isolation & dependence

see image below where NYplaid recognises potential danger for Dr Mohammed

👇👇

Leila should know better re: the protection of sources as a journalist.

Leila + Shameen went even further + harmed the impartiality of the Dr by hosting him on Spaces with Resistance Generals / Colonels

This risks his life further as it associated him with enemies of israel
👇

With or without the doctors consent, this group has endangered a Palestinian Dr who depends entirely on them for donations.

**Can the doctor truly give consent with such a financial dependency?**

**Does his isolation from NGOs harm his ability to provide care?**

👇

CAN WE TRUST REBUILD GAZA?

- run by a convicted fraudster
- raising tens of thousands of $ with little/no transparency
- reported $10,000 missing (!!)
- endangering the impartiality + life of the doctor
- exploiting him with no regard to his role as a humanitarian worker
👇

- creating distrust in any foreign NGOs causing more death from lack of treatment
- creating discord in the pro-Palestine community / hurting morale
- harming trust in charity initiatives with serious consequences
- appearing to profit from the genoc1d3❗️

Will those involved comment on these charges made against them regarding their criminal history and exploitation of a Palestinian doctor?

Or will I be dismissed and blocked?

hmm 😑

⚠️NOTE: All the Doctor did was to describe a medical situation within medical personnel guidelines, he had no say in how his words were used by Leila, Shameen, Sarah + NYplaid. His lack of social media & internet meant he couldn't even monitor how his words were used!!

Dr Mohammed is a victim in this. My hope is that we can foster his independence from a group of exploitative people.

With independent funding, he has a chance to continue his impartial humanitarian work without exploitation, dependence, isolation and misrepresentation.

UPDATE re: MISSING MONEY

Is this an ADDITIONAL $12,000 of missing donations raised on behalf of the doctor or is this the original $10,000 reported missing?
