 The article is kind of bullshit, but self custody is the way. 
 Is it? What's incorrect? Just so I don't put out fake news 😅 
 There were a lot of rumors that Binance seized funds from all of Palestinians users. This is false, only few users which been identified as funding terror.

The Hebrew letter that shared over and over again doesn’t mention it at all. 
 Ok yeah, I got that they didn't seized assets from all Palestinians but seems like the IDF sent the letter? I don't know hebrew and can't read it myself but the IDF could deem a lot of Palestinians as "terrorists" in the mids of their genocide mission? 
 Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, the letter was sent by Israeli Ministry of Defense, with no additional details about which account were been asked to freeze (I could dig a bit and search for it later). For sure it was just a small list, with an On-chain footprints related to a terror organizations.

Binance could accept it, fully or partially. I guess they were convinced in this case.

Anyhow, self custody is a must. Funding terror organizations could help to not be rugged pull. 🤷🏻‍♂️
