The group blocking convey is known as TZAV 9. They have a fundraising site available in the US LeftInTX May 13 #18

you could report the site to the hosting registrar. orange jar May 13 #20

It's part of larger type Israeli "go fund me" type site. Many are legit charities, but this one should not be in the US LeftInTX May 13 #21
