“Elderly Palestinian couple looking at their former home, now occupied by a couple from Brooklyn. 🇵🇸” [@/RamAbdu on X. April 4th, 2024.]
Hi! I did fact check this. The article is from 2021, and the photo is an Al Jezeera report from 2020.
In the clip, Al Jazeera reporter Najwan Simri asked the current residents of the home, “How do you feel living in a house built on the wreckage of his house?”
The Jewish woman said she was happy to live in the home and that it was “very enjoyable.”
The report does not identify the couple behind the gate, making it impossible to verify the claim that they originate from Brooklyn.
While the photo in the social media posts is not related to the recent violence between Hamas and Israel, it is connected to some of the fundamental issues of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This picture is making the rounds on meme pages so I thought that I would provide some more context for those bored enough to seek it out:
No, this isn’t from Michigan, and I have no idea if Juggalos put up the sign or not.
This is a Subway outside of Shakamak State Park in Indiana. The actual name of the town is Jasonville. It bills itself as the Gateway to Shakamak because there is not much else going on in Jasonville. The most notable event was a big fire in 1914.
Shakamak State Park is very beautiful and you should visit it. It did show up in an episode of the American Gods tv series- or rather, the sign did, because the actual scene was filmed at Gloss Mountain in Fairview, Oklahoma.
I don’t know if they have soup there. I’m sure they do. But do they woop woop? Truly unknown.
Got an ask from someone claiming to be in Palestine needing mutual aid? Unfortunately there is a scammer going around and it’s likely the ask you got sent is the same one being sent by multiple accounts who target users interacting with Palestine posts. These blogs use the text/images off a real fundraiser and then post it here pretending to be the person it’s made for. Their accounts are usually only a few days old and they don’t interact beyond the ask/follow. Lately they might make the link to their PayPal account in different colors or claim their GoFundMe is pending so you will assume the real one is theirs. They don’t have any GoFundMe’s set up. They steal from them. If you need proof of something being stolen, searching the text of their post in a search engine should pull up the source. If you know how to report PayPal accounts, please report those used by the scammers.
Below is a growing list of fake/stolen names used across the accounts:
Nour Samar | maryline lucy | Fred Odhiambo | Jeff Owino | Valentine Nakuti | Conslata Obwanga | JACINTA SITATI | David Okoth | Martín Mutugi | Daudi Likuyani | William Ngonyo | Fred Agy | George Ochieng | BONFACE ODHIAMBO | Sila Keli | John Chacha | benson komen | Alvin Omondi | Jacinta Sitati | Daudi Likuyani | Noah Keter | Faith Joram | Rawan AbuMahady (any PayPal’s using this name are scammers who have stolen it off a real GoFundMe. The real person does not have a PayPal account that they post on tumblr.) | Asnet Wangila | Remmy Cheptau
Keep in mind this post isn’t saying all accounts asking for mutual aid in Palestine are scams. Rather, this post is meant to bring awareness of a scammer stealing money from those who really need it by pretending to be a person in Palestine. To report scams, use this:
