After making a one off donation of $12 in 2020 AVAAZ has continually deducted that amount every month since, even after I contacted them and was told they'd rectify it. Last month they deducted $36 from my credit card. I have contacted them again, asking them to desist, but have had no response from them.
DO NOT DONATE TO AVAAZ!

Avaaz Foundation (avaaz.org) is extremely anti-Semitic.

I was recently alerted to October-Avaaz emails related to the events since the Hamas massacre of October 7.

The Avaaz emails start with: "Dear friends". Terrifying, because the Avaaz emails regarding
The Hamas massacre are deliberately one-sided, selective, propagandistic and extremely anti-Semitic. Anti-Semitism is on the rise in the world… partly due
To the extremely anti-Semitic emails of Avaaz.
A few illustrations >

*1 Avaaz emails start with a photo of a needy Palestinian baby, and in the following email
With a photo of two crying Palestinian children.
A photo of a child slaughtered by Hamas on October 7 apparently doesn't matter. More than 1200 innocent Israelis have been horribly
Massacred by Hamas and some 250 people (children, adults, old people, including non-
Israelis) have been kidnapped and taken hostage.
Avaaz didn't think it was worthy of a single photo.

*2 Not a single word about the fact that the people of Gaza, the Palestinians, are suffering first and foremost because of the Hamas terror intention:
Deliberately entrenching themselves cowardly among the Palestinians (even in and under hospitals!), knowing and hoping that an Israeli response will follow... Hamas misuses Palestinian civilians as human shields.
Avaaz doesn't say a word about that.

*3 Has Avaaz strongly urged Hamas to keep the north-south route clear, i.e. In the complete absence of Hamas troops? NO!
*3a Has Avaaz urged Hamas to completely remove itself from all hospitals in Gaza? NO!
*3b Has Avaaz urged Hamas – and the governments supporting it – to engage in dialogue that can end the war and the further suffering of the Palestinians (deliberately caused by Hamas)? NO!

*4 Hamas: "The massacre was necessary to bring the Palestinian cause back into the spotlight."
And, of course, we (Hamas) are hiding among the Palestinians, as well as in and under hospitals.
Because of that he Palestinian people (babies, children, adults, old people) have to suffer. But we
Don't care about that!
And yet Avaaz doesn't mention that in their October emails!

*5 Avaaz: "Sign this urgent call for peace and we will deliver our votes to President Biden and the international media."
Did Avaaz urge for an Avaaz-members call to Hamas to surrender immediately and release all hostages or else fight an open battle? NO!

Etcetera, etcetera!

CONCLUSION:
Avaaz reports deliberately selectively and spreads anti-Semitic propaganda! Avaaz Foundation (avaaz.org) is extremely anti-Semitic.

I signed onto Avaaz once for a petition. To my shock, I opened my inbox this morning to find an email from them perpetuating the new left-wing, Communist lies about how the right is trying to take over the world. Their references were based entirely on left-leaning websites, some of these sources are known for the fact that they lie on a continual basis! They were begging me for money to stop the right from, well, being the Right. I am so angry. The Communists and Fascists are marching on...

I considered signing a petition on Avaaz.org, but didn't when they obliged me to login w/ my FB acct (thus taking my personal info + my friends' list amongst other data mining intrusions), so i didn't sign & backed out of the page. HOWEVER! They captured my 'signature' anyway, so they now have (illegally) obtained this info. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING ON AVAAZ unless you'd like to have your info taken by them!

Almost everyone I speak with feels despair about the future of our planet and all life on it, but AVAAZ is actually doing something possible. It's so difficult to pull humanity out of our handwringing negative weeping,but AVAAZ is combining all the tiny hopes and plans we still hold to fight and win the battles we are each too small to fight on our own. WE ARE ONE is the beautiful message I receive from the courage of AVAAZ.

Avaaz has achieved significant positive change in the world, and they use people power in a clever way to enact change.

Global People Power! Add your name do some good. Change something for the better!

You know when you read something in the news and think 'I wish someone would DO something about that' or 'That's outrageous I really ought to write to my representative / MP / senator or whatever' but somehow, you usually never get around to actually doing it?

Well, the Avaaz Organisation utilises the power of the internet to highlight just those issues and bring the views of millions of Avaaz members to governments, authorities, organisations and businesses around the world.

The multi-lingual website www.Avaaz.org shows current campaigns and highlights where they claim to have made a difference.

When an issue comes to the fore they will email you and ask for your signature on a combined petition which will then be sent to where it will have most effect.

It's a neat idea and Avaaz now has more than 7.3 million participants.

I have signed up for several petitions on causes that I feel riled about but do not go along with each and every cause Avaaz supports. It does sometimes feel like 'Rent-a Crowd' but I think the positive effects out-weigh the negatives.

7.3 million is a lot of people to have on your case few institutions can ignore numbers like that. Good idea, Avaaz well done!
