They see in these structures...an enemy that would stymie their absolute grip on power. consortiumnews.com/2025/02/19/c...

HANNAH ARENDT: "Although tyranny...may successfully rule over foreign peoples, it can stay in power only if it destroys first of all the national institutions of its own people."

Every $ U can spare should go to Gaza aid. Though Individual gofundme appeals are fine, it's FAR more effective to donate to NGOs working on the ground in Gaza. They reach more & aid more. Here's a partial List of some of the best:
