🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱 A few key points on the #Binance frozen crypto wallets situation as I know the case well & the devil is in the detail: 1. #Binance functions much like a bank. Following its recent settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the U.S. appointed a team to run & oversee Binance’s compliance operations. Binance compliance team is currently the US government. 2. #Israel might as well be considered the US’s '51st state.' They share intelligence and the Israel lobby has significant control over US politicians. 3. Some of Israel leaders have been classified in the same category as certain members of Hamas, labeled as terrorists for war crimes. Additionally, Israel has been accused of committing 'plausible genocide,' a charge by rulings from the highest court. This means Israeli accounts could be treated the same if the US government was not exerting political selective compliance at #Binance. 4. #Binance has clarified that it has specifically frozen certain Palestinian accounts, rather than all accounts according to their press release. 5. The first rule of #Bitcoin to learn - not your keys, not your coins. Sanctions are financial weapons of mass destruction inflicted on innocent civilians as a collective punishment and are enforced upon centralized financial institutions only. Store your #Bitcoin in self-custody. 6. I'm not a lawyer, but if this freezing of assets extends to all Palestinian accounts, I view it as part of the broader genocide. The people of Gaza are already being subjected to illegal occupation by Israel—by land, sea & air—which has led to starvation. Now, cutting off their financial resources further deprives them of the ability to buy food, while food hyperinflation is also weaponized as another tool of this genocide. 7. This case is U.S.-driven, initiated by an unofficial U.S. state, enforced by a DOJ-appointed compliance team, and carried out under U.S. AML/CTF regulations. US are complicit in the genocide. 🇫🇷 No wonder France came after #Telegram - the Palestinians main application for exposing this genocide. Here is the Israeli defence order & its English translation:
