However, Stripe began allowing its platform on Tuesday to be used again for the Gaza fundraiser, despite PayPal quietly cutting ties last week with the initiative after a watchdog raised concerns that companies linked to it could be violating federal law. -> -> "We believe that Stripe has not engaged in a robust review of applicable laws and the nature of the campaign using its services," Marc Greendorfer, president of the pro-Israel Zachor Legal Institute think tank, told the Washington Examiner. "In light of this, we will ensure that all who have been harmed by Palestinian-Arab terror organizations are apprised of their rights to seek damages from those who aided and abetted the attacks." -> -> Greendorfer added, "We believe that under applicable U.S. anti-terror laws, Stripe’s provision of services to the campaign organizers, even after it was informed of the campaign organizers' terror affiliations, constitutes aiding and abetting of foreign terror." - -[Zachor Legal Institute](https://lnkd.in/dFsvDzSE) - # Stripe Elements Web Components 🛡⚛️🔰 **Any** Framework - **One** Stripe Integration. 💰💵💸
