Daily News | PayPal is blocking payments for Queer Cinema for Palestine Film Festival
about this weekend’s Queer Cinema for Palestine Film Festival, PayPal began blocking attempted ticket purchases for the event.
But on two separate calls with customer service representatives, The Inquirer and the organizer for the event were told the payments were blocked because the event had the word “Palestine” in its title. When pressed by Qutyan that the event is happening in the U.S., not in the Middle East, the representative said that it doesn’t matter because “it has the word ‘Palestine.’”
On a separate call with PayPal’s customer service, a representative also told the Inquirer it’s possible the attempted ticket purchase was blocked because of the event’s affiliation with the Middle East.
