What happens to the many millions of £s collected in Britain each year and sent, tax free, to Israel by UK registered charities?

Is it used to help underprivileged children in Israeli orphanages or is it used to help finance Israel’s seven year illegal blockade of 1.8 million innocent civilians in Gaza? Does the UK Charities Commission (or the Inland Revenue) know? Who checks and what controls, if any, are in place?

If such tax-free tranches of money are used for military or political purposes; for illegal blockades or illegal settlement programs then Britain would be colluding in criminal behaviour by a foreign government against a persecuted minority – subsidised by the British taxpayer – and that would make it an accessory to such criminality as well as being a prima facie violation of the Geneva Conventions, and also illegal under UK legislation.
