Didn't you know that Islam says that charity should sincere and done
for the sake of Allah? If you gave your charity in sincerity and ONLY
for the sake of Allah, you wouldn't be having regrets when imperfect
humans are not interested in "how you are the generous philantrophist
helping out Muslims in trouble and giving alms to Muslims who cheat
you.".

Subj: Re: Re: Zionism as a Racist Ideology
"and how you are the generous philantrophist helping out Muslims in
trouble and giving alms to Muslims who cheat you."
The lesson I learned from this is that to do something sincerely in
the belief that this is what the ALmighty wants, brings a blessing,
that is all.
Do you have the heart to discern other hearts?
