Exclusive: Soros’ Open Society Gave Terrorist and Pro-Terror Groups

Over $80 Million

By Ryan Mauro, Investigative Researcher, Capital Research Center

Since 2016, George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF), now run with his son Alexander,
has poured over $80 million into groups tied to terrorism or extremist violence. The evidence is
stark: Open Society has sent millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that engage in
“direct actions” that the FBI defines as domestic terrorism. These groups include the Center for
Third World Organizing and its militant partner Ruckus Society, which trained activists in
property destruction and sabotage during the 2020 riots, and the Sunrise Movement, which
endorsed the Antifa-linked Stop Cop City campaign, in which activists currently face over 40
domestic terrorism charges and 60 racketeering indictments. At the same time, Open Society
awarded $18 million to the Movement for Black Lives, a group that co-authored a radical guide
that glorifies Hamas’s October 7 massacre and instructs activists in the use of false IDs,
blockades, and economic disruption.

Nor is the danger confined to America’s streets. Open Society has funneled more than $2.3
million into Al-Haq, a nongovernmental organization (NGO) based in the West Bank and long
accused of ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which the European
Union and the United States designate as a foreign terrorist organization. Grants to Al-Haq
between 2016 and 2023 ranged from $400,000 in general support to an $800,000 institutional
award. In September 2025, the U.S. State Department sanctioned Al-Haq, citing its role in
advancing campaigns that “directly engaged in the [International Criminal Court’s] illegitimate
targeting of Israel.” That means Soros’s foundation has not only financed extremist groups
within the United States but also funneled millions abroad to entities now formally sanctioned by
Washington.

This investigation documents how Open Society’s philanthropy blurs into complicity—fueling
groups that celebrate violent uprisings, train militants, and endorse terrorist movements. The
findings raise urgent questions for Congress, federal investigators, and the IRS about whether
Soros’s flagship foundation, and its grantees, can continue to operate with tax-exempt status
while bankrolling criminality at home and sanctioned entities abroad.

Yet what we expose here is only that part of Soros’s network which he has allowed the public to
see, because even these alarming figures come from Open Society’s own selectively published
grant lists, which the foundation admits are censored and incomplete:

“While we strive to present as complete a picture as possible of our grant making, we

omit grants and modified descriptions under some circumstances, including where it is
necessary to comply with personal data protection laws, and when disclosure may put at
risk the safety or work of a grantee or the Open Society Foundations.”
Our findings could potentially form the justification for various accountability actions, including
federal investigations and prosecutions, U.S. State Department and Treasury Department
sanctions, revoking of tax-exempt statuses of Open Society and its grantees by the Internal
Revenue Service, congressional investigations, and civil suits.
The grantees listed in this investigation do not include every anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and anti-
American group that has received Open Society funding. We limited our scope to pro-terrorism
and terrorism-linked groups, even though other Soros-funded groups like the IfNotNow
Movement produce incendiary rhetoric, hate speech, and deceptive propaganda that contribute to
the radicalization process and to undermining national security and civil society.

This investigation separates Open Society’s funding of extremist groups into three categories:

 Grantees that directly assist domestic terrorism and criminality on U.S. soil. Open
Society awarded at least $23,275,000 to seven groups that engage in or materially assist
violence, property destruction, economic sabotage, harassment, and other criminality that
meets the FBI’s definition of domestic terrorism.

 Grantees that have endorsed terrorist attacks like those on October 7, 2023, and/or
are directly linked to foreign terrorist groups or their known front groups. Open
Society has provided at least $50,571,206 to 41 such groups. Unlike groups in the first
category, these organizations do not openly encourage crimes to be committed in
America.

 Grantees that qualify as associates of terrorist groups or pro-terrorism groups. Open

Society has provided at least $9,335,016 to five such non-profits. These groups do not
openly support terrorism and may condemn attacks like those on October 7, 2023, but
they continue to provide significant material assistance to pro-terrorism or terrorism-
linked groups or activists.

The evidence shows that Open Society’s grantmaking is not an accident of misplaced charity but
a systemic pattern of empowering groups that glorify violence and destabilize societies. What
follows is a detailed accounting of these grants—money trails that reveal just how deeply Soros’
foundation has embedded itself in the infrastructure of extremism both in the United States and
abroad.

The grantees in this investigation do not include every anti-Israel, anti-Semitic and anti-
American group that has received OSF funding. We limited our scope to pro-terrorism and
terrorism-linked groups, even though other Soros-funded groups like the IfNotNow Movement
produce incendiary rhetoric, hate speech, and deceptive propaganda that contribute to the
radicalization process and to undermining national security and civil society.

Our October 2024 study, Marching Towards Violence: The Domestic Anti-Israeli Protest
Movement, pointed out the little-known fact that a registered non-profit organization is ineligible
under federal law for tax-exempt status if it intends to commit crimes of any kind. Acts of
purported civil disobedience, as Daniel Greenfield observes, are not an exception. In fact, the
IRS regulations cite a relevant example to explain what justifies revoking a non-profit’s tax-
exempt status. They describe a scenario where an anti-war group intends to engage in so-called
civil disobedience through “nonviolent direct actions” that involve “commit[ting] violations of
local ordinances and breaches of public order” like interfering with the use of governmental
buildings, interfering with traffic, and blocking commercial shipping. Perpetrating, assisting, or
inciting such crimes disqualifies a non-profit from consideration as a 501(c)(3) charity:

In this case the organization induces or encourages the commission of criminal acts by
planning and sponsoring such events. The intentional nature of this encouragement
precludes the possibility that the organization might unfairly fail to qualify for exemption
due to an isolated or inadvertent violation of a regulatory statute. Its activities
demonstrate an illegal purpose which is inconsistent with charitable ends.… Accordingly,
the organization is not operated exclusively for charitable purposes and does not qualify
for exemption from Federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Code.

The same is true for non-profits with a 501(c)(4) status as a social welfare organization (such as
groups like the League of Conservation Voters, the National Rifle Association, etc.):

Illegal activities, which violate the minimum standards of acceptable conduct necessary
to the preservation of an orderly society, are contrary to the common good and the
general welfare of the people in a community and thus are not permissible means of
promoting the social welfare for purposes of section 501(c)(4) of the Code. Accordingly,
the organization in this case is not operated exclusively for the promotion of social
welfare and does not qualify for exemption from Federal income tax under section
501(c)(4).

The Open Society grantees involved in such criminal activity and incitement appear to be
disqualified for tax exemptions on this basis, and Open Society itself may also be disqualified for
funding groups that brazenly acknowledge their prohibited behavior.

Our findings could potentially form the case for various accountability actions, including federal
investigations and prosecutions, U.S. State Department and Treasury Department sanctions,
revocations of tax-exempt statuses of Open Society and its grantees by the Internal Revenue
Service, congressional investigations, and civil lawsuits.
 Category 1: Groups Directly Assisting Domestic Terrorism

Open Society awarded at least $23,275,000 to seven groups that directly assist domestic
terrorism and criminality on U.S. soil. These groups specifically engage in or materially assist
violence, property destruction, economic sabotage, harassment, and other criminality that meets
the FBI’s definition of domestic terrorism.
Because these are the most outrageous grantees, we provide brief sketches of their behavior here.
The Appendix contains more complete documentation of their misdeeds.

• Center for Third World Organizing / Ruckus Society / BlackOUT Collective

The clearest example is the cumulative $400,000 Open Society has provided since 2020 to
the Center for Third World Organizing (CTWO), which boasts it “threw down with people in
the streets” during the violent riots that followed the death of George Floyd in May 2020.

The Center says it “trained thousands, supported over 100 organizations” in 2020-2021 and
took part in “uprisings” by teaching “new tactics for actions during lockdown.” The Center
offers training for “direct actions,” a term that is used to refer to confrontational and usually
violent and destructive protests.

The Center has unified three extremist groups into its “hub,” including at least two that
promote criminality:

The anarchism-associated Ruckus Society, a militant “direct action” group that boasts of
its assistance to rioters, like those in Minnesota in 2020. One of the two founders of the
Ruckus Society, Mike Roselle, also founded the Earth First! anarcho-environmentalist
terrorist group. According to InfluenceWatch, Ruckus Society’s own training materials
state that the group provides instruction in “tactics to resist the unjust system. Some of
these may be legal strategies while others may be outside of the law, such as the use of
civil disobedience.”

The BlackOUT Collective, which calls itself a “black direct action organization” and
produced a pro-Hamas guide that glorifies the October 7 terror attacks in Israel. The
guide also provides Ruckus Society materials that advocate for and provide instructions
for executing illegal “direct actions,” including property destruction, evading law
enforcement, using false IDs, occupying buildings and land, seizing assets, revealing the
identities of government agents, blockades, interfering with governmental or industrial
operations, and economic shutdowns. All of these actions qualify as acts of domestic
terrorism

• Movement for Black Lives & Dream Defenders

Open Society has also funded at least three groups that collaborated with BlackOUT
Collective to create the pro-Hamas guide with Ruckus Society materials that incite illegal
“direct actions”: It has provided at least $18 million to Movement for Black Lives and
$1,850,000 to Dream Defenders.

• Dissenters
Soros’ foundations have also given $200,000 to Dissenters, another co-author of the pro-
Hamas guide just mentioned.
 Dissenters also created another activism guide, the “Divest in Militarism, Invest in Life”
toolkit, which “targets” corporate and weapons manufacturing sites. The document links
to yet another Dissenters guide, “Organizing a Direct Action At Weapons Manufacturing
Sites,” which advocates blocking access to buildings used by defense contractors. It tells
readers to “check out these additional ideas” and links to a document that suggests
actions like “property destruction,” “nonviolent land seizure,” “obstruction,” “disrupting
industry or government procedure,” “seizure of assets,” “disclosing identities of secret
agents” and “hiding, escape, and false identities.”

Dissenters is also listed on the website of the Shut It Down for Palestine coalition’s
website as an endorser. The coalition praises how “protesters have shut down highways,
train stations, and bridges in the United States; [and] activists have targeted Israeli
weapons manufacturers.” Dissenters also collaborates with the National War Tax
Resistance Coordinating Committee to advise activists on how to illegally avoid paying
some of their taxes to the IRS so as not to fund U.S. national security activities.

• Sunrise

Sunrise, also known as the Sunrise Movement, has received at least $2 million from Open
Society. It endorsed and solicited financial support for the Antifa-associated anarchist
terrorists of the Stop Cop City / Defend the Atlanta Forest coalition.

The coalition has engaged in arson, property damage and violence against law
enforcement personnel and utility workers to try to stop construction of this local
police training center. Attacks include setting a police vehicle ablaze; throwing
Molotov cocktails, bricks and rocks at police; setting construction equipment on fire;
blocking roads with obstacles like tires; harming police officers’ eyes with lasers; and
attacking the Atlanta Police Foundation’s building with fireworks.

Over 40 of the anarchists were being prosecuted on domestic terrorism charges as of

February 2024, and over 60 were indicted in August 2023 on racketeering charges.
According to the indictments, the Stop Cop City terrorists mocked the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks by putting a sign labeled “9/11 Memorial” above a crude toilet at
their campsite.

Sunrise urged its audience “to support the fight donate to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund,”
(ASF) which is an initiative of the Network for Strong Communities. The Fund admits it
posts bail and provides legal defenses for the arrested protestors. Prosecutors allege it
also provides funds for ammunition, surveillance equipment, handheld radios, a drone,
and an array of camping supplies for Stop Cop City terrorist activities

This terrorist campaign receives significant funding from self-described “communist”

Fergie Chambers, who derives his wealth from his billionaire family. He said in 2024 that
he had donated “a couple million dollars” to Stop Cop City. He admires Russian dictator
Vladimir Putin, talks positively about the Hamas-led October 7 terrorist attacks, and
 believes “the most important thing for the prosperity of humanity is the destruction of the
U.S.”

Sunrise also prefers the Chinese Communist Party to critics of the Beijing regime.
Sunrise characterizes China as a victim of the United States and of “racist, right-wing
movements,” and its various extremist beliefs include condemning tourism to Hawaii
because Sunrise hopes the state will secede from the United States.

• Grassroots Global Justice Alliance

Open Society has provided Grassroots Global Justice Alliance (GGJA) with at least
$150,000. The Alliance openly endorsed the Hamas-led terrorist attacks on October 7,
2023, and has acknowledged its close ties to the Union of Palestinian Women’s
Committees, which is a front for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP),
a foreign terrorist organization as designated by the U.S. and European Union which
participated in the October 7 atrocities.

The Alliance has also come to the defense of the aforementioned Stop Cop City/Defend
the Atlanta Forest terrorists. It has republished a post by the Muslim Abolitionists Futures
National Network that indirectly endorsed Antifa anarchist militants by expressing
support for “local forest defenders” and vowing to provide “resources for direct support.”
In 2020, the Alliance endorsed violence against law enforcement, posting a graphic
showing weapons and criminal tactics used by protestors, such as blockading roads in
order to impede police cars and encouraging demonstrators not to provide information
about each other’s crimes.

In 2021, the Alliance took part in the illegal “Block the Boat” act of economic sabotage
organized by the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, a pro-terrorism Alliance member,
in hopes of preventing a ship from delivering supplies in California because the company
is owned by Israelis. The crime was endorsed by over 100 extremist organizations. A
sympathetic news report claimed that about 2,000 activists took part and physically
forced the boat to turn back, likely costing the company millions of dollars and hurting
American businesses who had expected its goods to arrive at that location.

The Alliance refuses to recognize the United States’ right to exist, instead referring to the
country as “Turtle Island (so-called USA).” The Alliance calls for the shutting down of
Mount Rushmore and “return of all public lands to their original stewards.”

The Alliance consists of over 65 organizations.

• U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights

Open Society has provided at least $700,000 to the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights
(USCPR), legally registered as Education for Just Peace in the Middle East. The
Campaign’s director, Ahmad Abuznaid, publicly expressed support for terrorists almost
 two dozen times between 2012 and 2019. He also co-founded the anti-American, pro-
terrorism Dream Defenders and organized the group’s trips to the Middle East that
included meeting with associates of terrorist groups like Popular Front for the
Liberationof Palestine and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. He was its chief operating officer
and legal and policy director until September 2016. He remained involved with Dream
Defenders for years after his departure.

The Campaign has urged supporters to participate in the anarchist group A15 Action,
which organized an international wave of disruptions intended to cause economic damage
on April 15, 2024. These direct actions included obstructing highways, blocking access to
ports, causing flight delays by blocking airport entrances, and preventing access to
corporate buildings involved with the Israeli military. A15 Action continues to advocate
violent resistance to law enforcement, among other actions.

The Campaign has also created and distributed several guides that incite illegal acts of
protest and point readers to websites that encourage more aggressive criminal actions.
For example, its “Stop Gaza Genocide” toolkit glorifies disrupting targets’ transportation
and “business as usual” and links to guides that help protesters avoid identification. Its
“Shut It Down Toolkit” links to pages about implementing disruptive protests like
occupations (taking over buildings) and human blockades. Readers are directed toward
groups that urge more serious criminality like Beautiful Trouble, Vision Change Win,
Ruckus Society, and Mutant Legal. Another Campaign-associated guide is the “Divest in
Militarism, Invest in Life” toolkit from Dissenters, with logos signifying that the
Campaign and other groups were involved in its creation. This guide targets corporate
and weapons manufacturing sites and links to yet another Dissenters guide, “Organizing a
Direct Action At Weapons Manufacturing Sites,” which advocates blocking access to
buildings used by defense contractors.

Over 300 groups are listed in the Campaign’s network.

Category 2: Groups Inciting Terrorism and Linked to Foreign Terrorist Groups

Open Society has provided at least $50,571,206 to 41 groups that have endorsed terrorist attacks
like those on October 7, 2023 and/or are directly linked to foreign terrorist organizations or
entities that are widely known to be fronts for foreign terrorist organizations. For details on these
groups’ actions and ties, please consult the Appendix.
 Category 3: Groups that are Associates of Terrorist and Pro-Terrorism Groups

Open Society has sent at least $9,335,016 to five groups that qualify as associates of terrorist
groups, terrorist entities, or pro-terrorism groups. The “associate” label applies to groups that do
not openly support terrorism and may condemn attacks like those on October 7, 2023, but
continue to provide significant material assistance to pro-terrorism or terrorism-linked groups or
activists. The Appendix documents these groups’ actions and ties.
 11 Fiscal Sponsors Shielding Pro-Terrorism Groups

Grantees cited in this investigation have had their Open Society funding facilitated by 11 groups
that have acted as the grantees’ fiscal sponsors. Fiscal sponsorship is an arrangement where a
registered non-profit organization brings an unregistered group under its tax-exempt umbrella.
The fiscal sponsor receives donations for the unregistered group, usually charging a commission.
As a result, the unregistered group’s leadership, revenue, expenditures, and other basic
information normally required to be disclosed on a non-profit’s public filings remains secret.

Documentation of Grant Recipients’ Extremism

The following appendix is an alphabetical list of all known Open Society grantees that support
terrorism or are strongly linked to terrorism-affiliated and pro-terrorism affiliates between 2016
and 2023. The description of each grant’s purpose is quoted from Open Society’s website.

18 Million Rising

The U.S.-based organization endorsed the Hamas-led terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023. It
also held a teach-in in July 2024 about fighting “Zionist influence in the Asian American
community, U.S. imperialism, and “Hindu Fascism (Hindutva).”

The organization reacted to the atrocities of October 7, 2023, with a post expressing support for
the violence, describing it as an uprising against injustice:

“Today we are witnessing the Palestinian people rising up against 75+ years of Israeli
settler colonial violence and occupation. We call on our Asian American community to
join in support and speak out to end Israel’s oppression of Palestinians… The resistance
against Israeli apartheid is a fight for liberation and freedom for all oppressed peoples
around the world.”

The post has a graphic with the slogan, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free,”
which is used to express support for the genocidal objective of destroying the state of Israel.

In another post that month, 18 Million Rising said that various causes within the U.S. are part of
a single movement united with the Hamas-led terrorist campaign against Israel:

“For people of conscience and progressive movements in the United States, we see many
similarities between the resistance movement of Palestinians to military occupation and
the movements we are part of here to end racist policing, incarceration, occupation of
Indigenous territories, and white supremacist, Christian fundamentalism targeting Black
people, people of color, immigrants, women, LGBTQ people, and the poor and working
class.”

The section of 18 Million Rising’s website titled Theory of Change explains it is “harnessing the
power of the internet and revolutionary propaganda” as part of its “strategizing to defeat our
enemy.” Its most immediate concern is “the growth of a rightwing conservative Asian American
faction.”

The organization says it intends to “disrupt racial capitalism” and “challenge the forces that are
imposing white nationalist, Islamophobic, male supremacist, militarism and corporate control
over our society and economy.”
 Its long-term objectives are “building radical communities,” “bringing an end to U.S.
imperialism” and creating “a multiracial pluralistic democracy” that has no borders, law
enforcement, or prison system.

All OSF grants for 18 Million Rising were provided through the fiscal sponsorship of Allied
Media Projects.

7amleh: The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media

The Haifa-based group’s leadership expressed support for the Hamas-led terrorist attacks on
October 7, 2023. The group has a long history of vocally supporting the Marxist-Leninist,
Hamas-allied Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorists and associating with
Palestinian organizations that are PFLP affiliates.

The group has complained about the State Department’s inclusion of Palestinian groups on its
Foreign Terrorist Organization list. The Palestinian groups on that list are Hamas, Palestinian
Islamic Jihad, PFLP, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, and
the Palestine Liberation Front.

7amleh board member Neveen Abu Rahmoun wrote on October 7:

“The Palestinian resistance is imposing a new stage since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa
flood operation by resistance fighters infiltrating into numerous Israeli neighborhoods in
the settlements, by creating points of contact, and by firing rockets of the resistance.
 Israel, in its turn, is constrained by this and has announced a state of high mobilization for
war. The message of the resistance is clear, it has started and it shall escalate and shall
impose a new reality.”

Similarly, 7amleh’s European Union Advocacy Officer Itxaso Dominguez said:

“The fact that the attack came from Gaza should not surprise anyone: we are talking
about an open-air prison on which wars are launched on a regular basis. A series of
flagrant crimes against humanity that shed light on an uncomfortable reality –
Palestinians will continue to resist… Gaza and all of Palestine are one of the world’s
main laboratories for multi-layered, and increasingly sophisticated, intrusive mass
surveillance systems. Despite that level of control, it is not the first time that Israel has
been surprised by resistance.”

Two days after the attacks, 7amleh Project Coordinator Mohammad Badarneh said, “The ‘only
important’ value of a human being living under occupation is the extent of his resistance to that
occupation, in all possible means.”

The next month, the group complained that Meta “immediately censored the Arabic hashtag [for
the October 7 attacks] on the first day of the escalation” on Instagram and Facebook. The hashtag
was used to spread images, videos and statements in support of the attacks.

Months prior to the attacks, 7amleh Monitoring and Documentation Officer, Ahmad Qadi,
reacted favorably towards news of terrorist attacks on synagogues in Israel. He said, “every
Israeli crime is met with greater determination for sacrifice, broader resistance and…victory.”

7amleh praised terrorist Basel al-Aaraj as a “prominent youth activist” after he died in combat
fighting Israeli security personnel. His extremism is well-known and he appears to be a PFLP
member.

In 2021, 7amleh accused Zoom of anti-Palestinian discrimination because it refused to host an

online event with PFLP terrorist Leila Khaled, who is often called “the first woman to hijack a
plane.” It referred to her as a “well known Palestinian political figure.” 7amleh co-founder and
director Nadim Nashif promoted an article praising Khaled as a “resistance icon.”
In 2020, the group gave similar treatment to Sabri Al-Banna, more commonly known as Abu
Nidal, a famous terrorist who killed or injured almost 900 people in 20 countries, and assisted
various other terrorist groups.

He spearheaded terrorist attacks on two European airports, a synagogue in Turkey, a Greek cruise
ship and an American airliner in Pakistan. He’s also linked to the assassination of a Jordanian
government official and three Palestinian officials who were serving his rival, the Palestine
Liberation Organization.

7amleh simply described him and senior PFLP official Ghassan Kanafani as “distinguished
personalities.”
 That same year, the group published a report that protested U.S. and Israeli treatment of
supposed “Palestinian human rights defenders, activists and organizations” who were linked to
terrorism. 7amleh wrote:

“For Palestinians, the fact that many of the social networks and economic platforms that
dominate access to the networked web are based in the United States (US), means that
these businesses are legally bound to at least comply with US law. Yet, US law includes
restrictions on working with organizations or individuals on the State Department’s list of
Foreign Terrorist Organizations, which include many Palestinian political organizations
and parties, in violation of the right of Palestinians to freedom of expression, including
political affiliation, especially the US State Department’s designations are controversial
as there is no internationally recognized legal definition of terrorism.”

In 2015, 7amleh endorsed a wave of terrorist attacks in Israel that is often referred to as the
“knife intifada” or “stabbing intifada” because of the heavy occurrence of stabbings. Over 200
stabbings, 80 shootings and 40 vehicular attacks took place. A total of 38 Israelis were killed. All
were civilians except for five members of Israel’s security services. Nearly 600 Israelis were
wounded. Two Americans were killed, and one was wounded.

Also in 2015, 7amleh promoted a protest in support of a hunger strike by imprisoned Palestinian
Islamic Jihad terrorist Mohammed Allan. The group said the demonstration is for the broader
cause of acting “in defense of all our families and captives in the occupation prisons.”

7amleh has close ties to terror-linked entities.

It is a founder of the Palestinian Digital Rights Coalition, which includes several organizations
that were banned by Israel for their involvement with the PFLP terrorist group, an accusation
supported by a copious amount of publicly-available evidence.

The Washington Examiner discovered extensive relationships between 7amleh and known PFLP
entities Al-Haq and Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association in 2022.

7amleh’s monitoring and documentation officer, Ahmad Qadi, simultaneously worked for
7amleh and for Al-Haq as its database management specialist. Al-Haq’s former lawyer, Cathrine
Abuamsha, became a manager at 7amleh. Al-Haq’s senior advocacy and outreach director, Diana
Alzeer, was a speaker at 7amleh’s conference in 2022.

7amleh also teamed up with Addameer in 2017 for a joint social media campaign to raise
awareness of “Palestinian political prisoners,” depicting them as being unjustly imprisoned and
victims of political persecution. In actuality, the “political prisoners” included terrorists who are
a senior Hamas operative and who murdered police officers.

It also partnered with a PFLP front called the Union of Agricultural Work Committees in 2018.

Adalah - The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel

The group based in Haifa, Israel maintains strong ties to pro-terrorism and terror-linked
organizations, although it did criticize the Hamas-led terrorist attacks committed on October 7,
2023.

The Haifa-based Adalah Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel’s statement after
October 7 claimed Israel bears responsibility for the “root cause” of the attacks, but did speak
against “the unprecedented, brutal and illegal attack by Hamas militants in Israel against
civilians.”
However, Adalah has strong ties with pro-terrorism groups, including a U.S. wing it created
named Adalah Justice Project (AJP) that is fiscally sponsored by Tides Center, a left-wing non-
profit within the Tides Nexus that is known for its massive political influence and provision of
“dark money.”

AJP expressed its glee over the Hamas-led terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023. The Tides Center
page for AJP states that the U.S.-based and Israel-based Adalah groups “cooperate closely.”

Adalah provided legal support to senior PFLP terrorist Abd al-Razzaq Faraj when he was
arrested in 2014. Despite knowing about his arrests for his direct involvement in terrorist attacks,
Adalah booked him as a speaker for a seminar it held with PFLP front Addameer Prisoner
Support and Human Rights Association in 2019.
According to the pro-Israel NGO-Monitor, Adalah is a member of at least three coalitions that
have a large presence of PFLP affiliates: The Palestinian Digital Rights Coalition, EuroMed
Rights and the Norwegian Refugee Council. It has also come to the political defense of six PFLP
affiliates that the Israeli government banned for being terrorist entities, pledging to “resist these
decisions by all legal means available.”

Al-Jazeera Media Network

The Qatar-based media outlet is tied to Hamas and has a long history of distributing propaganda
for Islamist terrorist and extremist groups, particularly those linked to the Muslim Brotherhood,
which Hamas is a self-admitted “wing” of.

Al-Jazeera’s English branch aimed at influencing left-leaning audiences, AJ+, glorified the
October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks the day after they happened. The Palestinian Authority
suspended Al-Jazeera from operating in Judea and Samaria (also known as the West Bank) in
December 2024 due to its “inciting material.”

Al Mezan Center for Human Rights

The Director of the Gaza-based group has written in defense of the Hamas regime in Gaza and
various Al Mezan officials and members are members of, or directly linked, to the PFLP and
Hamas terrorist organizations.

Although Amnesty International reported in March 2019 that the Hamas regime in Gaza had
detained a lawyer and a fieldworker associated with Al Mezan, Gabe Kaminsky of the
Washington Examiner discovered extensive ties between Al Mezan and Hamas and PFLP,
Hamas’s close Marxist-Leninist ally.

Al Mezan’s chairman, Kamal El-Sharafi, met with PFLP leader Jamil al-Majdalawi and
expressed affection towards him, describing him as a “comrade.” In his other capacity as the
head of Al-Aqsa University’s board of trustees, El-Sharafi has collaborated with other senior
PFLP officials. He’s also published photos of himself as funerals for PFLP terrorists.

The Al Mezan board’s vice chairman, Talal Awkal, was described in Al-Jazeera as a former
member of PFLP in 2010, but it is highly doubtful that the terrorism-linked Arabic outlet was
accurate when it talked about his status in the past tense. He was still writing for the official
PFLP website in 2013 and exalted the group as “great historical leaders” in 2015.
Hussein Hammad, another Al Mezan employee, has been honored by PFLP.

Kaminsky also found that board member Nafiz Al-Madhoun was described as a senior Hamas
member by Arab media outlets and was the director-general for the Palestinian Legislative
Council that was controlled by Hamas.

Senior officials from PFLP, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad spoke at multiple Al Mezan
events.

Al Qaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society

The West Bank-based group coauthored an Instagram post declaring its “solidarity with the
Palestinian resistance” after the Hamas-led terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023. It is committed
to destroying the state of Israel and systems it sees as colonialist, capitalist or patriarchal. It
accuses pro-LGBT supporters of Israel of engaging in “colonial violence” by “pinkwashing”
Zionism.

Al Qaws appears to work closely with a group called Queers in Palestine that emerged a month
after the attacks. Queers in Palestine is more directly supportive of terrorists targeting Israel and
its messaging is picked up by anti-Israel pro-LGBT groups around the world like Queers for
Palestine.

Al-Haq Europe is the Brussels-based wing of the Ramallah-based Palestinian group. The Israeli
government designated it as a terrorist organization in 2022 for being a front for the PFLP
terrorist group. An overwhelming amount of publicly-available evidence substantiates Israel’s
accusations.

Al-Haq supported the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks. The General Director of Al-
Haq, Shawan Jabarin, has been repeatedly imprisoned and convicted for his involvement in
terrorism as a senior member of PFLP.

Arab American Association of New York

It was revealed in 2013 that AAANY was the target of a “terrorism enterprise investigation” by
the New York Police Department. Such investigations require credible evidence that two or more
individuals associated with an organization are conspiring to commit a violent crime, such as
material support for terrorism.

The founder and President of AAANY, Ahmad Jaber, used to lead the Islamic Mission of
America, also known as Dawood Mosque, which was also the subject of a terrorism enterprise
investigation.

The mosque is the birthplace of the militant Islamist group Dar Ul-Islam and it is where
prominent extremist cleric Khalid Yasin converted to Islam. He spoke at the mosque in 2005.

One of the Gold Sponsors of AAANY’s 2013 fundraiser was Qatar Foundation International, a
U.S.-based component of the Qatar Foundation. Both Qatar Foundations’ promotion of pro-
terrorism extremism and anti-Semitism is well-documented. The Qatar Foundation is a registered
foreign agent of the Qatari government, which is known for sponsoring terrorist groups,
particularly Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and waging massive political influence
operations in the West.

The Foundation launched a research center named after Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader and
Hamas financier Yousef al-Qaradawi in 2008. He preaches that Hitler carried out Allah’s
judgment upon the Jews and that Muslims should carry out the next “divine punishment” of
Jews.

Linda Sarsour was the Executive Director of AAANY from 2005 to 2017. She now leads
MPower Change. Sarsour is a controversial activist with a long history of incendiary rhetoric and
associations with terrorism supporters. Biden condemned her views in 2020 and said she would
not have any connection to his campaign.

Family Ties to Terrorism

In 2017, Sarsour confirmed the accuracy of quotes attributed to her in 2004 about having
relatives in Israeli prisons for terrorism-related activities. She said:
 “I can't deny that people related to me have been in Israeli prison. Does that mean that
any of them were charged with crimes or they are terrorists or potential suicide bombers?
Absolutely not. This is just the reality of Palestinians living under military occupation.”

The 2004 report documented her saying that her cousin and a family friend had appeared in a
pro-violence Arabic newspaper.

Sarsour said her cousin had spent 25 years in prison in Israel and her family friend was serving
99 years. She confirmed that her brother-in-law is in prison for a 12-year sentence related to his
membership in Hamas. She did not deny his involvement with the Islamist terrorist group, but
noted that he differs with Hamas ideologically because he is a secularist.

She claimed she has also been questioned by U.S. law enforcement.

Sasour also said that the U.S. government was trying to deport her husband, Maher Judeh, also
known as Maher Abo Tamer, after living in the country for seven years.

Her husband repeatedly praised terrorists on social media. He idolized PFLP founder George
Habash, praised a terrorist who injured two Israeli soldiers by shooting at a checkpoint, and
mourned the deaths of senior Hamas operatives.

Legitimization of Terrorism

Sarsour’s reaction on Instagram to the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks failed to condemn the
atrocities, describe Hamas as a terrorist group, or demand an end to anti-Israel violence. Her
entire vitriol was directed at Israel and its “apartheid” government and characterizing Palestinian
terrorism as acts of self-defense with the purpose of liberation from oppression.

Sarsour said in 2011 that she supports non-violent resistance to Israel and isn’t a supporter of
either of the main Palestinian factions, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. However, she has
repeatedly spoken positively about terrorist groups and acts of violence against Israel.

She reacted to Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh by posting an Instagram story
encouraging Hamas supporters with a quote from senior Hamas official Musa Abu Marzouk
saying “Hamas will not be affected by the assassination of any of its leaders.”

On May 15, 2021, Sarsour tweeted “Palestinians have a right to defend themselves. Period,” in
reaction to massive rocket attacks on Israel by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Israel’s
military response.

On September 1, 2014, Sarsour justified Palestinian violence in response to Israel’s decision to

declare 1,000 unbuilt acres near Bethlehem to be state land so that an adjacent Jewish
community could expand due to population growth.
The ownership of the land was officially undetermined and construction would enable the Jewish
communities to have a route to southern Jerusalem. Israeli officials said the timing of the
decision was due to Palestinian terrorists’ kidnapping and murdering of three Israeli teenagers
near the Jewish community, hoping it would deter future attacks aimed at reducing or eliminating
the Jewish presence.

She wrote, “Israel steals more land and they expect the Palestinians to sit back? Then
Palestinians are the terrorists? I am beyond words.”

Sarsour called for the release of Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist Muhammad Allan in 2015.
That same year, she posted a photo of a young boy carrying rocks to throw at Israeli police and
wrote above it, “the definition of courage.”

Pro-Terror Associations
Sarsour identified Siraj Wahhaj, the radical imam of the Masjid at-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn,
as her “mentor, motivator, and encourager” and her “favorite person in the room” during her
speech at the Islamic Society of North America annual conference in 2017.

Wahhaj, who is also the former Amir of the Muslim Alliance in North America extremist group
that has had terrorists as senior officials, has a long history of militant anti-Americanism,
including support for violence and justifying theocratic violations of human rights.

The NYPD revealed in 2013 that its covert investigation of Wahhaj’s mosque was partially based
on evidence that his mosque’s officials and security team had illegally trafficked weapons and
were teaching members, including terror suspects, how to physically disarm police officers. The
mosque had allegedly fundraised at least $200,000 for terrorist organizations.
She also reportedly referred to Nihad Awad, the Executive-Director of the Council on American-
Islamic Relations (CAIR), as “Uncle Nihad” at the organization’s annual banquet in 2014. Awad
and CAIR have historical ties to Hamas and its parent group, the Muslim Brotherhood. Awad
publicly cheered the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks by Hamas and CAIR was designated by the
Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation for
financing Hamas.

Sarsour praised convicted PFLP terrorist Ramea Odeh in 2017, saying she felt "honored" to
speak at the same event as her during a Jewish Voice for Peace conference in Chicago.

Odeh was deported from the U.S. because she lied on her citizenship application about how she
was imprisoned in Israel for her involvement in bomb plots including the murdering of two
Jewish students at Hebrew University in 1969. She pled guilty to the Israeli charges.

Sarsour is also a longtime admirer of Louis Farrakhan, the ferociously anti-Semitic and pro-
terrorism leader of the Nation of Islam.
She spoke at Farrakhan’s rally in 2015, only one year after he preached in favor of rioting and
attacking police officers, telling parents, “Teach your baby how to throw the bottle if they can,”
referring to Molotov cocktails. He urged the audience to “fight,” kill white people and “die” so
they can “tear this goddamn country apart.”
Sarsour and her Women’s March co-leaders reportedly received protection from the Nation of
Islam’s security team named Fruit of Islam. In 2015, Sarsour made a Facebook post showing five
Fruit of Islam bodyguards, apparently saying they had protected her and that they are in a shared
movement. She wrote above the photo, “FOI Brothers, security for the movement.”

She proudly reposted a link to her 2015 speech for Farrakhan in 2017. When her links to the
Nation of Islam received negative media attention, she mocked the “Jewish media” for saying
she and “Minister Farrakhan are the existential threats to the Jewish community.”

With Sarsour at the helm, the Women’s March celebrated the birthday of anti-American
communist Assata Shakur, who committed kidnappings, bank robberies and the murder of a
police officer in 1973 as a member of the Black Liberation Army terrorist group. Shakur broke
out of prison in 1979 and escaped to Cuba where the communist dictatorship harbored her until
she died.

The Women’s March Twitter account honored her “resistance” as a “revolutionary.”

When CNN anchor Jake Tapper called out the post’s “ugly sentiments” and asked progressives to
condemn it, Sarsour accused him of having joined “the ranks of the alt-right,” a term used for
white supremacists even though he’s Jewish and left-leaning.

About two years later, Sarsour and MPower launched a "Cancel Tapper" campaign to pressure
CNN to fire him for spreading “Islamophobic,” “anti-Arab,” “anti-Palestinian” and “far-right”
hate. She claimed it was motivated by his comments equating Arab anti-Semitic hate speech with
white supremacist and anti-immigrant hate speech.
Sarsour and her fellow Women’s March leaders’ inflammatory behaviors, particularly their
refusal to disavow Farrakhan after he preached in February 2018 that “white folks are going
down” and “the powerful Jews are my enemy” prompted original Women’s March founder
Teresa Shook to publicly demand their resignations. She wrote:

“Bob Bland, Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour and Carmen Perez of Women’s March, Inc.
have steered the Movement away from its true course. I have waited, hoping they would
right the ship. But they have not. In opposition to our Unity Principles, they have allowed
anti-Semitism, anti- LBGTQIA sentiment and hateful, racist rhetoric to become a part of
the platform by their refusal to separate themselves from groups that espouse these racist,
hateful beliefs. I call for the current Co-Chairs to step down and to let others lead who
can restore faith in the Movement and its original intent.”

Sarsour and her colleagues resigned from the Women’s March in September 2019.
Sarsour also appears to have a close relationship with a convicted Hamas operative named Salah
Sarsour, who apparently is unrelated to her. He is a member of the Hamas-linked American
Muslims for Palestine’s National Board. Their friendship was noticed in December 2016 when a
photo was posted of them together at a conference in Chicago that was held by two Islamist
groups with links to the Muslim Brotherhood and histories of extremism.

Support for the Destruction of Israel

Although Sarsour has made remarks that appear to indicate an acceptance of Israel’s right to
exist, she has repeatedly said she supports a “one state solution,” a term that refers to the
elimination of Israel.

She’s been criticized by extremists for allegedly accepting the permanent existence of the state of
Israel. In 2006, Sarsour said, “Israel is there, and it is going to be there whether we like it or not.
We have to learn to deal with that.”

In 2011, she confusingly said she believes that a two-state solution is impossible, but “I do
believe that Israel has the right to exist. I mean I wouldn't want — I mean where are they gonna
go? That's why I want a one-state solution. I think we can all live together in one state with peace
and justice and equality for all."

In May 2013, she answered a question about her stance on a two-state solution with, “I believe in
a one state solution. One nation 4 all.”

“Are there still people out there who actually think a two-state solution is viable? SMH at
whoever they are,” she said in 2014.

She reiterated her position in 2017, saying “My hope is that it will be one state, one man one
vote, that everyone is treated equally. Then you can say that part of the world is a true
democracy.”

Supporters of eliminating Israel sometimes call for a referendum on its existence, believing that
Jews and supporters of Israel would be outnumbered.

In September 2018, she said, “I am an unapologetic pro-BDS, one-state solution supporting

resistance supporter here in the U.S.,” referring to the terrorist-linked Boycott, Divestment and
Sanctions campaign against Israel.
Demonizing the U.S.
She demonizes the U.S. using conspiracy theories to depict the U.S. as malicious and its
adversaries as its victims.

Sarsour depicts Muslim life in the U.S. as so horrific that it even surpasses the cruelty of slavery.
She said at the joint convention of the Muslim American Society and the Islamic Circle of North
America in 2016, “The sacrifice the black Muslim slaves went through in this country is nothing
compared to Islamophobia today.”

She teaches audiences that the police are imprisoning Muslims simply for attending mosques.
She wrote, The value of Arab life—whether nameless Palestinian children bombed by American-
funded fighter jets or American youth profile, questioned and incarcerated for frequenting a
particular mosque—is spiraling downwards rapidly in the U.S. and at a more accelerated rate in
the Arab World.”

Sarsour promotes anti-American sentiment by dismissing the notion of U.S. foreign policy being
motivated by any amount of good intention or genuine concerns about security.

She promoted a protest by the pro-Hamas groups ANSWER Coalition, Palestinian Youth
Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the Chinese Communist Party-linked
People's Forum to “Stop the US Bombing of Yemen” in January 2024.

The language of Sarsour’s post falsely suggested that the U.S. was unjustifiably targeting Yemen
as a country. In reality, the U.S. had conducted targeted airstrikes on specific Houthi terrorist
targets because the Iran-backed group was attacking shipping vessels in the Red Sea to damage
the global economy and was firing missiles into Israel in support of Hamas.

She tweeted on August 16, 2021, “US foreign policy, especially in the Middle East, has never
been based on human rights. It’s rooted in greed, power and oil. To say otherwise, is a bold-faced
lie. Our foreign policy has decimated nations, killed countless civilians, & left people vulnerable
to more horror.”

She uses her influence to spread the belief that terrorist plots and radicalizations are false flag
operations by the police and federal government.

Sarsour said, “We believe that the NYPD informants actually manufacture these cases so they
can justify the funding that comes to the NYPD.” She also congratulated herself for supposedly
knowing that Al-Qaeda’s underwear bomb plot to destroy an American airliner in 2009.

“Underwear bomber was the #CIA all along. Why did I already know that?! Shame on us -
scaring the American people,” she tweeted in 2012.
 Sarsour expresses contempt for the U.S. government but talks about theocratic Sharia-based
government positively. She touted Sharia Law in 2015 interest-free loans and said in 2011 that
“shariah law is reasonable” and “makes a lot of sense.”

Alliance for Global Justice

The U.S.-based group is the fiscal sponsor for extremist groups including the Iran-linked
Samidoun (Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network), which was designated by the U.S. and
Canadian governments as a terrorist entity, describing it as a “sham charity” for the PFLP
terrorist group.

In November 2023, AGJ lashed out against two left-leaning organizations who severed their
financial relationships with AGJ because of its fiscal sponsorship of Samidoun. It accused them
of having “sunk into the pablum of privileged and impotent liberalism.”
AGJ says accusations that it and Samidoun are supporters of Hamas are “false allegations”
reminiscent of McCarthyism. It then says it refuses to “declare against Hamas” and refers to
Hamas’s violence as “resistance.”

The group is the fiscal sponsor for other pro-terrorism and anti-American groups including
United National Antiwar Coalition, Popular Resistance, the Arizona Palestine Solidarity Alliance
and the Immigrant Solidarity Network, which has a U.S.-China Solidarity Network that
positively portrays the Chinese Communist Party-run government and country.

AGJ seeks the overthrow of the U.S.’s “liberal democracy” and “global capitalism.” It says:
“Liberal democracy is a sham. It is predicated not on the rule of the people, but on the
preeminence of the ‘right’ to private property over and above all other
considerations.…But liberal democracy is the governing principle of the US/NATO
Empire, which serves global capitalism…
There are alternative democracies to the liberal kind. Popular, or participatory,
democracies, This is the kind of democracy that the Alliance for Global Justice works for
within the US, and it’s the kind of democracy we are dedicated to defending
internationally from US interference.”

In 2021, AGJ signed a joint statement written by the United National Antiwar Coalition that
defends the Syrian dictatorship of Bashar Assad and condemns U.S. military action against his
regime and Iran-linked forces in Syria who were attacking U.S. forces.
 AGJ was birthed from a group called the Nicaragua Network that advocated for the communist
Sandinistas, whose leader, Daniel Ortega, currently rules Nicaragua as an anti-American dictator.

The group remains supportive of Ortega, as well as the other authoritarian communist regimes
like Cuba, Venezuela, and even North Korea.

AGJ defended Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and framed it as a defensive action against
imperialism. The group described Ukraine as a fascist white supremacist state, even though
Ukrainian President Zelensky is Jewish, and the Russian dictatorship supports and uses white
supremacists to threaten its enemies internationally.

Its statement praises Russia’s role in supporting “liberation movements” around the world and
has a graphic underneath the text that says, “The U.S. in the course of history has become the
most significant threat to the world.”

AGJ has an ongoing list of so-called political prisoners who “are directly oppressed by the
abuses and neglect of the neoliberal and militarist U.S. Empire and engaged in or somehow
advancing a revolutionary program to end that Empire and the global capitalist model it serves,
even if they do so unintentionally.”

Although the group says “[o]ur listing of these prisoners does not constitute an endorsement of
the tactics or immediate goals of every individual,” it contradicts itself by immediately thereafter
by stating:

“Our documentation of political prisoners is made on a case-by-case basis involving a

holistic assessment of individual backgrounds, motives, the contexts in which their
actions took place and their treatment in the justice system. The criminalization of their
actions, often targeting social movement leaders and disruptors of the status quo, is a
reflection of decades-old tactics of persecution, intimidation and suppression of political
resistance.”
The list consists of many terrorists and extremists who engaged in violent crimes, including
members of Al-Qaeda, anti-police rioters, fundraisers for Hamas, an operative for the North
Korean government, a high-level spy for Cuba, and various Marxist-Leninist and black
nationalist criminals.

Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice

The U.S.-based group is a pro-LGBT organization that wants to eliminate the state of Israel,
overthrow systems it views as capitalist, colonialist and patriarchal and "defund and abolish the
police."

The organization reacted to the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks on October 25 by saying it
“stands in solidarity with the people of Palestine and their fight for freedom.” It also said, “We
mourn the death of all those killed in Palestine and Israel by military and civilian violence, and
we strongly condemn the escalation of indiscriminate attacks on civilians.”

It funds the pro-terrorism Jerusalem-based group Al Qaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity in
Palestinian Society.

In 2021, Astraea described a wave of attacks on Israel as an “uprising against Israeli settler
colonialism.” It also said it sides with Palestinians “fighting for their lives” alongside a fiery
graphic with the words, “From Colombia to Palestine May All Colonizers Fall.”

Badil Resource Center for Palestinian Residency

The Bethlehem-based organization’s leadership supports the PFLP terrorist group and a senior
PFLP terrorist participated in one of its events in 2011. It has also given awards to cartoonists for
clearly anti-Semitic art that cannot be fairly characterized as political satire aimed at Zionist
policies.

Badil says “the Palestinian people have a right to resist against such forcible actions that violate
their right to self-determination, by all available means, including armed struggle.”

It condemns “western colonial states” for “aiding and abetting the repression of the Palestinian
people’s resistance.” Badil’s first press release after the October 7 attacks called for “dismantling
Israel’s colonial-apartheid regime.”

Badil also defended Hezbollah in an October 4, 2024 press release, condemning “lies and
propaganda about the resistance” in Lebanon and characterized Israel’s targeting of Hezbollah
and other terrorists as part of a conspiracy by the West to “entrench and expand western colonial
domination under the Israeli regime.”

Baladna Association for Arab Youth

 The organization based in the Israeli city of Haifa idolized Khader Adnan, a spokesman for the
Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group, in May 2023 after he died from a hunger strike in an
Israeli prison. It held a rally in his honor, calling him “our living miracle and our noble Sheikh”
who had achieved immortality. It finished with, “Glory to the fighting class that will remain led
by Khidr Adnan.”

Baladna has been accused of indoctrinating children with extremism. In February 2023, it was
discovered that it had created a series of games called “Play Your Role” that included a card
game where players pretended to be stone-throwers held in Israeli prisons that need to escape.

Another Monopoly-like game had players pretend to be Palestinians whose homes are about to
be demolished by Israels. Available options to impede the destruction included inciting a
“popular uprising” or physically stopping police from entering the area. Baladna reportedly
claimed to have had 1,000 students participate in its workshops where the games were played in
2021 and another 430 took part in about 64 workshops in 2022.

The group also runs student workshops that instigate hatred of Israel. Baladna also allegedly held
an event honoring terrorists who attacked the Temple Mount in 2017 and established a fund to
assist prisoners who were arrested during a violent uprising.

Birzeit University

Birzeit University is near Ramallah in the West Bank. It has a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
based in Walled Lake, Michigan that receives tax-deductible donations for the school.

The Michigan-based nonprofit wing of Birzeit University claims the school “is unique in its
liberal atmosphere and history of political activism. The university fosters democratic values and
is firmly committed to freedom of thought and expression, intellectual pluralism, and democratic
practices.”

Three days after the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks, Birzeit University published a post that
said, “Glory for martyrs, recovery for wounded ones, and freedom for the captives.”

The University website also carried a statement describing Hamas’s attacks as “colonized
peoples’ resistance.” It ridiculed whose who condemned the October 7 attacks and Hamas.

According to a lawsuit filed in January 2024 states:

“[Birzeit University] openly discriminates against Jews and promotes Hamas and its
terrorism. Among other things, Birzeit’s buildings and events are named after convicted
terrorists; military parades on campus feature students wearing mock explosive vests
while waving Hamas flags; in May 2022, Hamas won the majority of Birzeit student
 government seats; and, two weeks before the October 7 massacre, eight students were
arrested with weapons and plans to carry out a terrorist attack.”

Birzeit University has buildings named after prominent terrorists and it holds events that honor
terrorists. Hamas took control of the student council in May 2023 after it won the election. Of the
51 seats, 25 went to Hamas, 20 went to Fatah’s Martyr Yasser Arafat Bloc and 6 went to the
group representing the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Marxist-Leninist terrorist
group.

On December 8, 2023, Birzeit University’s X account glorified the First Intifada terror campaign
as a “perfect example of national unity in the face of the oppression.”

On October 1, 2024, the University organized a protest against “the occupation’s assault against
Palestine and Lebanon, and repeated assassinations of resistance leaders.” It was condemning
Israel’s killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on September 27 and Hamas leader Ismail
Haniyeh on July 31.

On July 1, 2022, Birzeit University’s social media honored a senior leader of the Al-Aqsa
Martyrs Brigades terrorist group. It described Zakaria Zubeidi, who murdered six Israeli civilians
when they were voting in 2002 and was later charged with shooting at buses filled with civilians,
as a “Palestinian prisoner and freedom fighter.”

Black Organizing for Leadership and Dignity (BOLD)

 The U.S.-based BOLD idolizes anti-American Marxist icons Sekou Odinga and Assata Shakur,
who were militant members of the Black Liberation Army terrorist group and convicted violent
felons. Odinga said in 2016 that he remains “proud” of assisting Shakur’s escape from prison.

BOLD said it “honor[s]” Odinga as “one of our Black Liberation Freedom fighters, leader,
organizer, and warrior” who “fought relentlessly for our liberation.” It describes him as a
“political prisoner” and praises him “for his role in liberating our beloved Assata Shakur and
other political actions associated with the Black Liberation Army.”

In September 2020, Odinga was booked to speak at an event alongside convicted PFLP terrorist
Leila Khaled. Odinga spoke at an anti-Israel rally organized by pro-terrorism groups including
several linked to the PFLP in June 2021.

Odinga’s wife, Dequi Kioni Sadiki, spreads anti-Semitism and has expressed support for
Palestinian terrorism, including exalting a convicted female PFLP terrorist.

In 2020, she spoke at a rally in support of Palestinian “resistance” that was organized by
supporters of Hamas, PFLP, the Iranian government, the North Korean government and other
extremist forces. The crowd chanted “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.”

BOLD received its 2021 grant from OSF as a fiscally sponsored project of Highlander Research
and Education Center. In 2018, it received funding as a fiscally sponsored project of Praxis
Project.

Black Youth Project 100

The U.S.-based organization is a member of the Wisconsin Coalition for Justice in Palestine,
which issued a statement after the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks saying it would “counter [the]
false narrative about Israel’s war on Gaza” that Hamas is a terrorist group and the October 7
atrocities qualify as terrorist attacks. The coalition described the terrorism as legitimate
“resistance.”
 Black Youth Project 100 defended Marc Lamont Hill after he was fired for endorsing violence
against Israel. Hill also later criticized the labeling of Hamas as terrorists and said, “even if you
think that what happened on October 7 was an act of terrorism…”

The then-Director of Black Youth Project 100, Charlene Carruthers, went to Israel and the
Palestinian Territories on a 2015 trip organized by the pro-terrorism Dream Defenders
“revolutionary organization.” The leader of the trip said it was being done “in the spirit” of long-
time communist activist, Black Panther Party supporter and accused terrorist Angela Davis. The
delegation met with prominent PFLP associate Ayed Arafah.

Its website republished an article honoring “National Assata Shakur Liberation Day.” Shakur was
an anti-American Marxist convicted murderer who belonged to the Black Liberation Army
terrorist group. She went to prison for murdering a police officer, but she escaped, and she was
harbored in Cuba until her death.

Center for Constitutional Rights

The U.S.-based CCR defended the legality of the October 7 attacks by depicting them as military
operations, reflecting the pro-terrorism view that Israeli innocents do not qualify as civilians.

It said, “Under international law, armed groups, such as Palestinian resistance fighters, can
lawfully carry out attacks on military targets.”

CCR characterizes virtually all U.S. counter-terrorism policies and actions as pretexts for
persecuting the “Palestinian liberation struggle” and “indigenous resistance” at the behest of a
subversive Zionist conspiracy. The U.S. government’s designations of governments like Iran’s as
State Sponsors of Terrorism and terrorist groups like Hamas as Foreign Terrorist Organizations
are among the actions that CCR paints as unjustified acts of oppression.

 Center for Third World Organizing

The U.S.-based CTWO offers training for “direct actions,” a term that is used to refer to
confrontational and usually violent and destructive protests, rather than standard non-violent and
legal political demonstrations.

It claims that in 2020-2021 it “trained thousands, supported over 100 organizations,” “threw
down with people in the streets during the uprisings,” and “created new tactics for actions during
lockdown.” The “uprisings” it is referring to are riots in response to the death of George Floyd.
Its current leader, Avery Bizzell, is a member of Black Youth Project 100, a group that has made
statements endorsing Hamas and its October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel and glorifies anti-
American Marxist terrorists and extremists.

CTWO has absorbed three extremist groups into its "hub":

• The anarchism-associated Ruckus Society, a militant “direct action” group that boasts of
its assistance to rioters, like those in Minnesota in 2020.

One of the two founders of the Ruckus Society, Mike Roselle, also founded the Earth
First! anarcho-environmentalist terrorist group known for committing acts of tree-
spiking that can kill or seriously injure someone who tries to cut the tree down. Earth
First! members who wanted to become more violent and destructive formed the Earth
Liberation Front terrorist group in 1992 so that the original group could potentially
avoid blowback.

According to InfluenceWatch, Ruckus Society’s own training materials state that the
group provides instruction in “tactics to resist the unjust system. Some of these may be
legal strategies while others may be outside of the law, such as the use of civil
disobedience.”

Ruckus Society’s 2020–2021 annual report’s mirrors some of the aforementioned

language on the CTWO website, boasting that “we threw down with people in the
streets during the uprisings,” referring to the riots in Minneapolis following the death of
George Floyd, and that it provided online training and “on the ground training and
action support” for “mass uprisings.”

It claims, “We trained thousands, supported over 100 organizations, and helped build
movements.” It says its training focused on “street safety, de-escalation, street
communications, and street medics for local direct action groups. We also provided in-
person rapid response support during uprisings centered around direct action strategy
and planning, technical assistance, and on-the-ground support for community groups
that attended our training.”
 The report says Ruckus Society organizes rapid response actions and training and
provides “theory, strategy, and hands-on tactical skills of nonviolent direction action”
that is “confrontational.” It also talks about having “created new community defense
and de-escalation tactics” with the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights in 2017.

• The BlackOUT Collective, which calls itself a “black direct action organization” and
produced a pro-Hamas guide that glorifies the October 7 attacks. The guide also
provides Ruckus Society materials advocating for and providing instructions for illegal
“direct actions,” including property destruction, evading law enforcement, using false
IDs, occupations of buildings and land, seizing assets, revealing the identities of
government agents, blockades, interfering with governmental or industrial operations,
and economic shutdowns. All of these actions qualify as acts of domestic terrorism.

• The Black Land Liberation Initiative, which states, “We call for a return of accumulated
wealth to Black people in the US and Black people across the diaspora. We call for a
release of stolen land. We vow to work with integrity and build partnership with those
lands were stolen and with the land itself. We vow to continue the struggle, to build
liberated black spaces, institutions, and power until we are returned what is rightfully
ours.”

Council on American-Islamic Relations California

The U.S.-based Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has long been credibly accused
of having historical ties to Islamist terrorist organizations and of currently promoting extremism.
Court evidence shows it was formed by the U.S. arm of the Muslim Brotherhood with the
objective of covertly assisting Hamas.

CAIR was designated as an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of the Muslim Brotherhood
front, the Holy Land Foundation, that was found guilty of illegally financing Hamas. The Justice
Department listed CAIR as an “entity” of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s secret Palestine
Committee that was established to assist Hamas and its agenda.

Federal prosecutors said in a court filing for a different counterterrorism trial, “From its founding
by Muslim Brotherhood leaders, CAIR conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim
Brotherhood to support terrorists…the conspirators agreed to use deception to conceal from the
American public their connections to terrorists.”
 CAIR denies that it has ever had a connection to Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood and claims
that it and its Executive Director, Nihad Awad, have “consistently denounced violence by
Hamas.” However, Awad publicly celebrated Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel at a
Hamas-linked group’s conference. The Biden Administration subsequently condemned Awad’s
comments. Awad attempted to mount a clumsy denial of what was clearly caught on videotape.

The CEO of CAIR’s California chapter, Hussam Ayloush, refuses to condemn Hamas as a
terrorist group and says Israel’s existence should be "terminated."

The executive director of the California wing’s San Francisco Bay Area chapter, Zahra Billoo,
mourned the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, saying “Glory to the martyrs” and “Tonight,
we mourn Ismail himself but know his martyrdom is not vain. From the river to the sea, Palestine
will be free.”

CAIR Florida immediately reacted to the October 7 attacks with an official statement that
justified the terrorism by saying Israeli aggression is “compelling them [Palestinians] to defend
themselves constantly.” It did not criticize Hamas’s atrocities and only expressed sorrow for the
loss of Palestinian lives, not Israeli ones.

statement after the attacks came two days later and is a denunciation of New York City Mayor
Eric Adams for saying he is "disgusted" at pro-terrorism and anti-Semitic expressions that
occurred at an anti-Israel rally organized by pro-Hamas groups. One participant even taunted
pro-Israel counter-demonstrators with an image of a swastika on his phone.

Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) / DAWN Action Inc

The U.S.-based DAWN is an anti-Israel group whose leadership includes pro-Hamas figures,
even though the organization condemned Hamas’s attacks on Israeli civilians during its October
7, 2023 attacks as “atrocities.” It did not condemn the attacks as a whole, omitting the attacks on
military, security and governmental personnel from its condemnation.

The reputation of DAWN’s founder, Jamal Khashoggi, is disputed because he advocated for
liberalization in the Middle East but also defended the Muslim Brotherhood and applauded the
Hamas government ruling Gaza. He was assassinated by Saudi government operatives in Turkey
on October 2, 2018.

Khashoggi authored multiple anti-Semitic tweets in 2011-2012. He suggested that the

conspiratorial anti-Semitic fabrication, Protocols of the Elders of Zion, is credible, writing in
June 2011 about the “desperation of the Jews to deny the Protocols.” He also referred to Jews
who believe in the historicity of their faith and claims to the land as “deceivers” and “swindlers.”

One tweet tinged with anti-Semitism in September 2012 falsely accused the U.S. of enforcing a
double-standard because anti-Islamic speech is permitted but “if this was skeptical of the
Holocaust, America would not allow it to be published, because the Jews succeeded in obtaining
a law that would prevent it in America and Europe.” The U.S. has not banned Holocaust denial.
Support for Muslim Brotherhood & Turkish dictator Erdogan
Khashoggi said he was a Muslim Brotherhood member when he was a university student. The
New York Times reported after his death that he had “Islamist sympathies” and a “personal bond”
with Turkish President Erdogan, an Islamist authoritarian who spouts anti-Semitism and anti-
Westernism and support Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
In The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11, Lawrence Wright quoted Khashoggi as
explaining that he agreed with Bin Laden’s intention to “establish an Islamic state anywhere” and
“the first one would lead to another, and that would have a domino effect which could reverse the
history of mankind.”

John Bradley, an expert on Saudi Arabia, explained:

“Most of the Islamic clerics in Saudi Arabia who have been imprisoned over the past two
years — Khashoggi’s friends — have historic ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Khashoggi
had therefore emerged as a de facto leader of the Saudi branch. Due to his profile and
influence, he was the biggest political threat to bin Salman’s rule outside of the royal
family…
… Khashoggi had earlier this year established a new political party in the US called
Democracy for the Arab World Now, which would support Islamist gains in democratic
elections throughout the region. Bin Salman’s nightmare of a Khashoggi-led Islamist
political opposition was about to become a reality.”

Although Khashoggi advocated for the Muslim Brotherhood, terrorism expert Peter Bergen
recalled his conversations with him and says that he had rejected the concept of an Islamic state
in favor of liberal enlightenment principles by 2005. However, Khashoggi pointed to Erdogan-
led Turkey as an example of how to “accommodate secularism and Islam.”

Khashoggi was also working with the government of Qatar. The Washington Post reported, “Text
messages between Khashoggi and an executive at Qatar Foundation International show that the
executive, Maggie Mitchell Salem, at times shaped the columns he submitted to The Washington
Post, proposing topics, drafting material and prodding him to take a harder line against the Saudi
government. Khashoggi also appears to have relied on a researcher and translator affiliated with
the organization, which promotes Arabic-language education in the United States.”

Khashoggi lamented that the Saudi Crown Prince was “fighting Political Islam” because “Saudi
Arabia is the mother and father of Political Islam.” Due to the Crown Prince’s actions against the
Islamist ideology, the country’s “compass is lost.”
Khashoggi criticized the Saudi government’s treatment of the Muslim Brotherhood as an
adversary and terrorist organization, claiming “the Muslim Brotherhood are moderates” and are
more “civilized than Salafi thoughts” embraced by the Saudi government.

He also defended Brotherhood spiritual leader and Hamas financier Sheikh Yousef al-Qaradawi
as a moderate. Qaradawi’s vocal extremism is widely known and includes preaching that Allah
used Hitler as a form of “divide punishment” upon the Jews “for their corruption.” Qaradawi
then expressed his wish for Allah to use Muslims to carry out the next divine punishment upon
the Jews.

Support for Hamas

During the war between Israel and Hamas in July-August 2014, Khashoggi wrote in awe of
Hamas’s “long war of liberation” and described its successful arms buildup despite Israel’s
counter-smuggling efforts as a “miracle.” He exalted Hamas above the rest of the Arab world,
writing, “we, as Arabs and for more than 70 years, have never seriously fought against Israel.”

Khashoggi complained in another column at the time about the lack of Arab, and specifically
Saudi, support for the “resistance” and “the much-maligned Hamas” in Gaza.

Comments About Bin Laden

Khashoggi mourned the death of Bin Laden in 2011, posting on Twitter, “I collapsed crying a
while ago, heartbroken for you Abu Adullah,” affectionately using Bin Laden’s nickname.

However, it was not a full-throated endorsement of Bin Laden. The tweet reflected on the
friendship he had with Bin Laden many years before the 9/11 attacks, saying, “You were
beautiful and brave in those beautiful days in Afghanistan, before you surrendered to hatred and
passion.”

Pro-Hamas Leaders

Although DAWN acknowledged that Hamas committed human rights abuses in its October 7
atrocities, one of the organization’s co-founders and board members is Nihad Awad, the
Executive-Director of Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) who publicly celebrated
Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel at a Hamas-linked group’s conference. The Biden
Administration subsequently condemned Awad’s comments. Awad attempted to mount a clumsy
denial of what was clearly caught on videotape.

The Justice Department designated CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of the
Muslim Brotherhood front, the Holy Land Foundation, for illegally financing Hamas. The Justice
Department listed CAIR as an “entity” of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s secret Palestine
Committee that it established to assist Hamas and its agenda.

Another DAWN cofounder and former board member is Esam Omeish, former CAIR board
member and former president of the pro-Hamas Muslim American Society, which federal
prosecutors said in a 2008 court filing “was founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood
in America.”

As MAS president, Omeish confirmed that his group practices a “comprehensive” version of
Islam “as outlined and applied more recently by modern Islamic movements, of which the
Muslim Brotherhood is pre-eminent” in a September 2004 letter. His statement also described the
Brotherhood as “moderate” and said “the influence of Muslim Brotherhood ideas has been
instrumental in defining our understanding of Islam within the American and Western context”
and “differentiating between terrorism and legitimate struggles against tyranny, dictatorships and
occupation.”
In 2004, he praised the spiritual leader of Hamas, Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, as “our beloved.” In
2000, he was videotaped praising Palestinians who believe “the jihad way is the way to liberate
your land” and are “giving up their lives” while “fighting for a just cause.”

Omeish’s record of vocal support for terrorism caused him to be forced out from his position on
the state of Virginia’s Commission of Immigration in 2007. In 2017, the Libyan House of
Representatives’ Defense and National Security Committee included him on a list of 75 terrorists
and identified him as an "international member of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Adam Shapiro was DAWN’s Israel-Palestine Advocacy Director from February 2022 to March
2024. He is the co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement, an extremist group that is
not only pro-terrorism, but has been involved with violent activities and directly engages Hamas,
Palestinian Islamic Jihad and PFLP.

Advocacy Director Raed Jarrar celebrated the September 9, 2011 attack on the Israeli embassy in
Cairo by thousands of Egyptian protestors, forcing Egyptian special forces to help evacuate
Israeli staff. Jarrar tweeted, “Egyptians SCARED the shit out of #Israel ambassador” with an
emoticon for a smiling face. Israel refused to let Jarrar enter the country in 2017 because of his
involvement in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement that is commonly
affiliated with terrorist groups and those seeking the destruction of Israel.
Another board member, Tawakkol Karman, is a former member of the Brotherhood’s branch in
Yemen, al-Islah. In September 2013, she praised the Muslim Brotherhood’s “legendary struggle,
which they are waging with their blood” against the Egyptian government. She was a member of
al-Islah until 2018 when she was kicked out for publicly opposing the Arab coalition fighting the
Iran-backed Houthis.

Board member Magdi Dhaouadi’s bio says he is a former Executive Director of CAIR’s
Connecticut chapter. He wrote on Facebook above a video about Israeli counter-terrorism
operations in Ramallah, “Resisting the occupation is NOT terrorism it is a legitimate right of
defending one’s self and your land from real terrorists i.e IDF,” referring to the Israel Defense
Forces.

He also was the Senior Program Officer at the Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy, a
think-tank described by experts on the Brotherhood as strongly linked to the pro-Hamas U.S-
based Muslim Brotherhood.

Advocacy for Extremists

 In August 2022, DAWN rushed to the defense of six Palestinian organizations with significant
ties to the Hamas-allied, Iran-backed Marxist-Leninist terrorist group, Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine, when Israel shut them down. DAWN called on the Biden Administration
to pressure Israel into reversing the action.
Overwhelming evidence linking the six groups to terrorist activity exists in the public realm. One
of them, Al-Haq, has also received OSF funding. On the other hand, DAWN urges counter-
terrorism actions against pro-Israel extremists.

DAWN opposes the Abraham Accords that normalized relations between Israel and the United
Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. In November 2023, DAWN demanded those
countries leave the Accords and that all Arab countries end military cooperation with Israel and
prohibit the U.S. from using bases in their territories to assist Israel’s “war against Palestinians in
Gaza.”

Dissenters

The U.S.-based Dissenters is a pro-Hamas, anti-American group that supports criminal protests.

OSF funded Dissenters through its fiscal sponsor, Center for Third World Organizing, another
pro-terrorism group that appears in this appendix. As of October 2024, Dissenters is
accepting donations through the Action Network 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization.

Dissenters partnered with the pro-Hamas extremist groups Dream Defenders, Movement for
Black Lives, BlackOUT Collective and Black for Palestine to create a “Black and Palestinian
Solidarity Organizing Toolkit” for anti-Israel protestors.

The bottom of page 13 contains a glorifying image of a Hamas paraglider associated with the
October 7 attacks with the words “Black Liberation for Palestinian Freedom” above it.

The guide provides links for three guides from the anarchism-associated Ruckus Society that
endorse conducting illegal “direct actions,” including property destruction, evading law
enforcement, using false IDs, occupations of buildings and land, seizing assets, revealing the
identities of government agents, blockades, interfering with governmental or industrial
operations, and economic shutdowns.
Dissenters and Asians for Palestine coauthored a social media post where they said they would
not honor the lives of fallen U.S. military members on Memorial Day. Dissenters said it
“reject[s]” the holiday because it is “commemorating U.S. military aggression, glorifying the
U.S. Imperialism, victimizing U.S. war crimes.”

Instead, it showed a “People’s Memorial” consisting of artwork condemning U.S. actions. The
pieces condemn the U.S. as “bloodthirsty,’ call on viewers to “resist and topple U.S.
imperialism” and have the slogan, “Long live the resistance” with the multiple upside-down red
triangles that are used to signify support for Hamas’s violence.

Dissenters also teamed up with the pro-Hamas extremist groups Students for Justice in Palestine
and Palestinian Youth Movement to launch a National Student Day of Action for Divestment on
February 8, 2024. The coalition created a guide for organizing and carrying out the protests.

The document emphasizes that the groups and protest participants are part of a global anti-
Western, anti-American revolution aligned with those fighting U.S. influence around the world:

“Let us be clear — we are anti-Zionists, anti-imperialists, and fighting for the collective
liberation of all people, from the US to Palestine, Palestine to Kashmir, and Kashmir to
the Philippines.”

The groups state that their goal is “weakening the U.S. Empire” and to essentially remove the
U.S. government, law enforcement and ruling institutions from power:

“We reject all forms of militarization – from the day-to-day presence of police in our
neighborhoods to occupiers in Gaza. As strugglers in the heart of the empire, we seek to
build a path to liberation by taking away the power of political and corporate elites and
dismantling imperialism and the weapons of war that safeguard it.”

The document also refers to the U.S. as Turtle Island, a mythical land that some Native American
traditions claim encompassed North and Central America. The name is inspired by a creation
story about a supernatural being creating the continent by placing soil on top of a turtle’s shell
during a global flood and the soil turned into the land.

The term is used to express a refusal to recognize the U.S.’s existence and a belief that it should
be abolished so the land can be given back to the indigenous peoples. Anti-Israel activists deploy
the term to draw an equivalence between Israel and the U.S. as illegitimate, oppressive states
who violent “resistance” can be justified against.

The guide gives instructions on how to organize protests with different levels of severity offered
to demonstrators, ranging from printing posters to illegal acts like taking over and “occupying”
buildings, forming blockades and disrupting events.

It links to two guides on two militant anarchist websites where readers can find incitements to
criminal activity and violence and instructions for carrying out destructive acts.
Another activism guide created by Dissenters, the “Divest in Militarism, Invest in Life” toolkit,
talks about targeting corporate and weapons manufacturing sites.

That guide then links to another Dissenters guide titled “Organizing a Direct Action At Weapons
Manufacturing Sites” that advocates for blocking access to buildings used by defense
contractors.

This one tells readers to “check out these additional ideas” and links to a document that suggests
actions like “property destruction,” “nonviolent land seizure,” “obstruction,” “disrupting industry
or government procedure,” “seizure of assets,” “disclosing identities of secret agents” and
“hiding, escape, and false identities.”

Dissenters is also listed on the Shut It Down for Palestine website as an endorser. The coalition
praises how “protesters have shut down highways, train stations, and bridges in the United
States; [and] activists have targeted Israeli weapons manufacturers.”

The group also collaborates with the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee to
advise activists on how to illegally avoid paying some of their taxes to the IRS as a way of not
funding U.S. military and national security activities.

On the Fourth of July in 2024, at least three Dissenters chapters liked a post by Dream Defenders
that bashed the holiday, glorified anti-American violence and ridiculed Martin Luther King Jr.’s
non-violent activism.

The post depicts the U.S. in the most villainous ways, accusing the U.S. of never having done
anything positive for “our people.” It casts the country as “the enemy of freedom struggles all
over the world” and even blames the U.S. for the bloodshed and despair of “our people” in Haiti,
the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan.

It concluded with, “We celebrate all people’s refusal to participate in the death cult that is
American patriotism – a death cult that has never done anything good for our people, and that
never will.”

The New York City chapter of Dissenters liked a Fourth of July post published by the pro-Hamas
extremist groups Within Our Lifetime and Bronx Antiwar Coalition announcing an anti-
American rally on the holiday and expressing support for anti-American terrorism.

The text declares solidarity with those “resisting” the U.S. in places like Syria, Lebanon, Yemen
and Kashmir, which means they are in alliance with the theocratic Iranian regime; the Iran-
backed Assad dictatorship in Syria; Hezbollah; Hamas; the Houthis and Pakistan-backed jihadist
terrorists in Kashmir.

It then endorses a quote from so-called “freedom fighter” Leila Khaled, a PFLP terrorist who is
best known as being the first woman to oversee the hijacking of an airplane, that calls for
“strike[s]” against the U.S anywhere and everywhere. It reads:
 “As Palestine resists the most intense period of the U.S.-backed genocide since 1948,
Congo, Syria, Sudan, Lebanon, Yemen, Haiti, Kashmir and countries all across the world
continue to resist U.S. imperialism. July 4th is not a day to be celebrated while the U.S.
wraps its hands around the necks of the world in the pursuit of hegemony, resources and
exploitation. As Palestinian freedom fighter Leila Khaled explains, “Any strike anywhere
against US imperialism is a step towards freedom.”

Dream Defenders

The U.S.-based Dream Defenders is supportive of Hamas, PFLP and other anti-American
terrorists. It identifies itself as socialist, black feminist, internationalist and abolitionist. It
explains that its definition of abolitionism is eliminating all prisons, policing, surveillance and
punishment.

Dream Defenders (DD) says, “We believe that our liberation necessitates the destruction of the
political and economic systems of Capitalism and Imperialism as well as Patriarchy. We believe
in People over profits. We believe that nonviolent resistance is the only morally and practically
sound method open to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom and are fundamentally
committed to nonviolence as our means of struggle against a violent oppressor.”

However, DD has a long history of advocacy for violent terrorist groups and communist
militants.

Its 2024 Fourth of July post glorifies anti-American violence.

The first slide says that the holiday celebrates when a “white nationalist state was born” and that
DD pledges to “recommit to struggling towards the end of this empire.”

The other slides in the post justify anti-American violence. One ridicules Martin Luther King
Jr.’s nonviolence. It grossly mischaracterizes his activism as being premised on a foolish belief
that oppressors’ hearts will change if they see minorities suffering more.

DD condemns the U.S. for essentially being the greatest horror the world has ever known,
accusing the U.S. of never having done anything positive for “our people.” It casts the country as
“the enemy of freedom struggles all over the world” and even blames the U.S. for the bloodshed
and despair of “our people” in Haiti, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan.

Rather than celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, DD said it would instead
celebrate themselves and their self-proclaimed “genius:”
 “If we celebrate anything today, it is the genius of our people’s resistance. We celebrate
our people’s dreams of, and organizing towards, self-determination. We celebrate all
people’s refusal to participate in the death cult that is American patriotism – a death cult
that has never done anything good for our people, and that never will.”

After the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, DD created and distributed a "Black
and Palestinian Solidarity Organizing Toolkit." The guide showcases a glorifying image of a
Hamas paraglider committing the attacks. The words “Black Liberation for Palestinian Freedom”
are above it.

The guide provides links for three guides from the anarchism-associated Ruckus Society that
endorse conducting illegal “direct actions,” including property destruction, evading law
enforcement, using false IDs, occupations of buildings and land, seizing assets, revealing the
identities of government agents, blockades, interfering with governmental or industrial
operations, and economic shutdowns.

In January 2020, DD expressed solidarity with Iran after the U.S. killed senior Iranian
Revolutionary Guards Corps General Qassem Suleimani in Iraq. Suleimani oversaw the Iranian
government’s operations to support terrorists around the world and was responsible for the
deaths and injuring of hundreds of U.S. troops and countless Iraqis, Israelis, Palestinians,
Syrians, Lebanese and Yemenis.

The pro-Iran post included a link to a longer statement accusing the Trump Administration of
trying “to provoke Iran into a war,” identifying other supposed provocations as the U.S. use of a
spy drone for conducting intelligence on Iran (which the Iranians shot down) and the U.S.
government (accurately) accusing Iran of being responsible for a swarm of drones that attacked
oil facilities in Saudi Arabia in September 2019.

The statement accused anyone supporting the U.S. “imperialist aggression” of having a
“profoundly white supremacist sentiment.” It depicted the highly precise U.S. airstrike that killed
Suleimani as proof that the U.S. government has “little regard” for Iraqi lives. No civilians were
killed.

DD supports Hamas but its favorite terrorist group is the communist Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which also participated in the October 7 attacks.

An October 23, 2023 post about solidarity between black Americans and Palestinians recalled
fondly how, “In the 70s, the Black Panther Party would often use a picture of Leila Khaled, a
fighter in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, as imagery for an intercommunal
fight against white supremacy. Palestinians have also returned that support. In 2014, Palestinians
reached out to BLM protesters in Ferguson and taught them how to deal with tear gas.”

PFLP was exalted as a “revolutionary” group by DD in March 2016 in a long series of Instagram
posts, some of which read as follows:
 • “[PFLP] wants to liberate all of Palestine by establishing a democratic socialist
Palestinian state that includes the destruction of the Zionist state and the return of the
Palestinian refugees.”
• “[PFLP] want[s] to create a communist, working-class party, and the best way they see to
do that is to liberate Palestine from Israeli rule.”
• “They want to be free from global imperialism. They want liberation. They want equal
rights.”
• “The PFLP is fighting against Israel, the Zionist movement, the Palestinian Authority
governing body, global imperialism, and Arab reaction.”
• “The PFLP believe that the workers of the world must unite and free themselves from
capitalist oppression to create a world run by and for the working class.”

DD sends a group to Israel and the Palestinian Territories almost annually. DD’s then-Chief
Operating Officer and organizer of the group’s Palestine Delegation trips, Ahmad Abuznaid, said
in 2015 that one of the annual tour’s main purposes is “to build real relationships with those on
the ground leading the fight for liberation.”

On its August 2019 trip, DD’s Palestine Delegation met with Palestinian Islamic Jihad supporter
Dareen Tatour, who DD deceptively described as a poet who was imprisoned by Israel for
criticizing the government and supporting “resistance.” It left out important facts and context.

Tatour was imprisoned for inciting terrorism because she used her exceptional influence to
inspire Palestinians to respond to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s call to engage in violence inside
Israel proper and the West Bank. She also made her Facebook profile picture an image with the
words, “I am the next martyr,” strongly indicating that she was planning to die in a violent
confrontation with Israelis soon.

When her supporters claim she was convicted for merely writing a poem, they leave out the
previous facts and the relevance of the timing of her actions. When she uploaded a video
featuring a reading of her poem, “Resist My People, Resist,” it was in October 2015 during the
“stabbing intifada.” The video showed images of Palestinians attacking Israeli forces using rocks
and slingshots, obviously demonstrating that her calls for “resistance” were referring to the
ongoing violence.

DD’s group also met with Omar Barghouti, the leader of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
National Committee (BNC). A large component of the BNC is the Palestinian National and
Islamic Forces, an umbrella body that coordinates the activities of various extremist groups
including the terrorist organizations Hamas, PFLP, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Democratic
Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

BNC responded to the October 7 attacks with a statement that expressed solidarity with the
“Palestinian freedom fighters” and their “justified use of armed resistance against the oppressors’
military and civilians.” BNC then removed the language and added a note claiming that hackers
had edited their statements. Its website still praises wave of terrorist attacks in 2015-2016 known
as the “stabbing intifada” or “knife intifada.”
On the same trip, DD’s Palestine Delegation also met with Addameer, a front for the PFLP. The
meeting inspired DD to post a demand that Israel “free all political prisoners,” echoing the
phraseology used by the terrorist groups’ supporters to call for the release of their imprisoned
members.

The delegation also met with the Badil Resource Center, whose leadership supports the PFLP.

For its 2016 trip, the delegation’s tour guide was PFLP member Mahmoud Jiddah. He, his
brother Abdallah and his cousin, Ali, were arrested in 1968 and later convicted for detonating
explosives in Jerusalem that injured 22 people. He and Ali were released from imprisonment in
1985 as part of a deal between Israel and the PFLP.

Canary Mission reports that when Abuznaid spoke at Jewish Voice for Peace’s National
Membership Meeting the previous year, he said, “We [the Dream Defenders Palestine
Delegation] walked up to a brother named Ali Jiddah – you may have heard the name. He’s…a
phenomenal brother who had spent 17 years in Israeli prisons for his acts of resistance.”

In May 2016, the group posted a photo taken by its Palestine Delegation that showed a street sign
with the PFLP logo, accompanied with text boasting that they had visited PFLP “turf” at the
Dheisheh refugee camp.

The 2016 and 2015 trips included meetings with prominent PFLP supporter Ayed Arafah.

The 2015 trip led by Abuznaid included members of Black Lives Matter, Hands Up United, and
Justice League NYC. Other participants were anti-Israel activists Aja Monet and Marc Lamont
Hill, who’d later be fired by CNN in 2018 for endorsing the use of violence to eliminate Israel.
Hill also later criticized the labeling of Hamas as terrorists and said, “even if you think that what
happened on October 7 was an act of terrorism…”

Abuznaid, who co-founded DD in 2012 and was its Chief Operating Officer and Legal and
Policy Director until September 2016, has a history of supporting and associating with the PFLP
terrorist group. He remained involved with DD for years after his departure, including
interviewing applicants for the group’s 2018 Palestine Delegation.

After leaving DD, became the Director of the National Network for Arab American Communities
in February 2017. He then became the Executive Director for the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian
Rights in August 2020.

According to Canary Mission, Abuznaid publicly expressed support for terrorists almost two
dozen times from 2012 to 2019.

He tweeted, “Leila Khaled is a freedom fighter and she taught us how to fight.” Khaled is a
PFLP terrorist who is known as the first female to oversee the successful hijacking of a plane. He
took a photo with another PFLP terrorist, Rasmea Odeh, and gushed that she’s a “revolutionary
bad ass."
As was already mentioned, Canary Mission reports that he boasted about meeting a PFLP
terrorist named Ali Jiddah in 2015, who he called “a phenomenal brother who had spent 17 years
in Israeli prisons for his acts of resistance.”

Jiddah was arrested alongside his cousin, fellow PFLP terrorist Mahmoud, in 1968 for setting off
explosives in Jerusalem that injured 22 people. Mahmoud served as DD’s tour guide for their trip
in 2016. They were released in 1985 as part of a deal between Israel and PFLP.

DD strongly admires anti-American militants inspired by communism.

The group expressed disdain for the U.S. as a country in July 2016 when it posted a photo of a
protest sign that reads, “Convict Amerikkka.”

It glorifies famous communist cop-killers. DD even writes supportively about a 1970 attack on a
California courthouse that resulted in five deaths and a 1971 attempt by black communist
inmates to break out of a prison by holding hostages and murdering three prison guards, two
white inmates and shooting and stabbing three other prison guards.

In February 2023, it posted an image that says, “Always Carry A Board,” referring to the
“ACAB” acronym that means “All Cops Are Bastards.” Anti-police extremists often write
“ACAB” by sarcastically associating each letter with innocuous words as a safer way of uttering
the phrase.

In December 2015, DD celebrated that long-time communist activist and Black Panther Party
supporter Angela Davis had joined its advisory board. It announced that it would be hosting a
speaking engagement for her in Miami. Davis was awarded the “Lenin Peace Prize” by the
Soviet Union in 1979.

Davis was arrested for her alleged involvement in the attack on a California courthouse that
resulted in the deaths of four people and the serious wounding of three more. It was spearheaded
by her close associate, Jonathan Jackson, and the perpetrators used three guns that were
purchased by Davis. Jackson used a sawed-off shotgun that was bought by Davis at a pawn shop
only two days prior to the attack.

She was also seen with Jackson near the courthouse the day before the attack. The van they were
in was later used by Jackson to arrive at the courthouse with his weapons and was intended to be
used as a getaway vehicle.

The goal of the attack was to free Black Panther James McClain, who was on trial for stabbing a
prison guard, along with two other Black Panther convicts who were present to serve as defense
witnesses.

They also sought the release of the three “Soledad Brothers” who had murdered a prison guard
by beating him and dropping him from a position three stories high. One of the “Soledad
Brothers,” George Jackson, was Jonathan’s brother. He became a communist ideologue in prison
and formed the Black Guerilla Family prison gang. He frequently exchanged letters with Davis.
Jonathan Jackson entered the courthouse and armed McClain and the two defense witnesses and
the four of them took five people as hostages, consisting of the judge, the District Attorney and
three jurors. The communist Black Panther supporters engaged in a shootout with police when
they tried to escape with the hostages.

Three of the four militants were killed, including Jackson, and the one who survived was shot
and paralyzed. The judge was murdered. The District Attorney survived but became paralyzed,
and a juror was shot in the arm.

The federal government issued an arrest warrant for Davis and she became a fugitive for two
months until she was arrested. She was ultimately acquitted of all charges after a jury exonerated
her in 1972. She claimed that Jackson was her bodyguard who protected her when she engaged
in activism for the Soledad Brothers, so she bought the guns for self-defense and Jackson used
them on his own accord.

In addition to having Davis as an advisory board member, DD published a post in August 2022
that idolized George Jackson’s “life as a revolutionary in a long and unbroken line of resistance
and sacrifice of Black people throughout history.” It previously glorified George Jackson in
October 2020.

It claimed he was “assassinated” during a “prison rebellion” in 1971. DD also favorably

mentioned how “George Jackson’s own younger brother Jonathan was killed while attempting to
free the Soledad Brothers from prison.”

The true context of George Jackson’s death was that a gun was smuggled to him, possibly by his
lawyer (who was acquitted), as part of his leading of a plot by militant inmates to bloodily escape
the prison. Jackson led the seizing of six hostages, consisting of four corrections officers and two
white inmates.

Three officers and both white inmates were then murdered, with their bodies being placed inside
Jackson’s prison cell. Jackson was shot and killed when he escaped into the yard. Three other
officers were seriously wounded by being stabbed and shot. Six inmates were arrested for their
involvement in the plot. Three were convicted and three were exonerated.

Besides PFLP, Davis and the Jacksons, DD has also honored the following extremists:

• Assata Shakur, a militant communist supporter of the Black Panthers who was convicted
of murdering a police officer and then fled to Cuba and received safe harbor from its
communist government for the rest of her life.

• The militant Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), an anarcho-communist

group that led a revolt against the Mexican government.

• Yuri Kochiyama, a Japanese-American who was forced into an internment camp during
World War Two and later became an anti-American activist who supported communism
 and black nationalism. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, she idolized Osama Bin Laden and
said the U.S. is the real enemy of the world.

• Young Lords Party, an anti-American Puerto Rican group that DD identifies as Marxist.

• The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) in Nicaragua, an anti-American group

influenced by communism, anarchism and Christian Socialism. DD acknowledges its
Marxist-influenced “guerilla warfare.” DD says it “was an anti-imperialist, leftist
revolutionary organization” but “now it’s the current ruling party with a democratic-
socialist stance.” In actuality, Nicaragua has become a dictatorship under President
Daniel Ortega since he retook power in 2007.

• LeftRoots, a self-described revolutionary socialist group founded in 2014 that DD says

was created to challenge a “period dominated by a ruling class hell-bent on intensifying
imperialist war, neoliberal austerity, unfettered extraction of natural resources, and
militarized crackdowns.” DD also quotes LeftRoots as speaking of the day when “we
have tossed capitalism into the trash-bin of history.”

• Thomas Sankara, a communist militant who launched a coup to become the first
President of Burkina Faso in 1983 with assistance from Libyan dictator Muammar
Gaddafi. Sankara openly admired Fidel Castro and Che Guevera. He was sometimes
referred to as “Africa’s Che Guevera.”

• Jalil Muntaqim, a former militant of the Black Panthers and Black Liberation Army who
was convicted for his involvement in murdering two police officers. He was released in
2020.

Education for Just Peace in the Middle East / U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights

The U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USPCR) is a Doing Business As name of the 501c3
non-profit organization Education for Just Peace in the Middle East.

USCPR has served as the U.S. wing of the official Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and
Sanctions National Committee (BNC), an entity in Israel and the Palestinian Territories that has
extensive and direct ties to terrorist groups. BNC collected donations through USPCR.
BNC responded to the October 7 attacks with a statement that expressed solidarity with the
“Palestinian freedom fighters” and their “justified use of armed resistance against the oppressors’
military and civilians.” BNC then removed the language and added a note claiming that hackers
had edited their statements.

Its website still praises a wave of terrorism committed by Hamas and many unaffiliated
extremists that began in October 2015 and didn’t end until June 2016.

BNC’s ties to terrorism are so close that its leadership includes the Palestinian National and
Islamic Forces, an umbrella body for coordinating the efforts of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic
Jihad, PFLP, PFLP-GC, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and other
extremists.

The Executive Director of USCPR is Ahmad Abuznaid.

According to Canary Mission, Abuznaid publicly expressed support for terrorists almost two
dozen times from 2012 to 2019. He also organized DD’s annual Palestine Delegation that met
with extremists including those linked to PFLP and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

He co-founded Dream Defenders (DD) and was its Chief Operating Officer and Legal and Policy
Director until September 2016. He took his current position as the leader of USCPR in 2020. He
remained involved with DD for years after his departure, including interviewing applicants for
the group’s 2018 Palestine Delegation.

DD has a long history of supporting the PFLP terrorist organization and idolizing anti-American
communist militants and activists under and after his leadership (see its section in this appendix).
It has expressed solidarity with Iran against the U.S. and displayed its approval of Hamas’s
October 7 attacks by including an image glorifying a Hamas paraglider committing the attacks in
an activism guide DD and some partners created.

He tweeted in 2016, “Leila Khaled is a freedom fighter and she taught us how to fight.” Khaled
is a PFLP terrorist who is known as the first female to oversee the successful hijacking of a
plane. He also took a photo with another PFLP terrorist, Rasmea Odeh, and gushed that she’s a
“revolutionary bad ass."

Canary Mission reports that he boasted about how he and DD’s delegation met with a PFLP
member named Ali Jiddah in 2015, who he called “a phenomenal brother who had spent 17 years
in Israeli prisons for his acts of resistance.”

Jiddah was arrested alongside his cousin, fellow PFLP terrorist Mahmoud, in 1968 for detonating
explosives in Jerusalem that injured 22 people. Mahmoud served as DD’s tour guide for their trip
in 2016. They were released in 1985 as part of a deal between Israel and PFLP.

Abuznaid liked a Fourth of July Instagram post by DD that glorifies anti-American violence.

The first slide says that the holiday celebrates when a “white nationalist state was born” and that
DD pledges to “recommit to struggling towards the end of this empire.”

The other slides in the post justify anti-American violence. One ridicules Martin Luther King
Jr.’s nonviolence. It grossly mischaracterizes his activism as being premised on a foolish belief
that oppressors’ hearts will change if they see minorities suffering more.

DD condemns the U.S. for essentially being the greatest horror the world has ever known,
accusing the U.S. of never having done anything positive for “our people.” It casts the country as
“the enemy of freedom struggles all over the world” and even blames the U.S. for the bloodshed
and despair of “our people” in Haiti, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan.

Rather than celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, DD said it would instead
celebrate themselves and their self-proclaimed “genius:”

“If we celebrate anything today, it is the genius of our people’s resistance. We celebrate
our people’s dreams of, and organizing towards, self-determination. We celebrate all
people’s refusal to participate in the death cult that is American patriotism – a death cult
that has never done anything good for our people, and that never will.”

UPSCR urged supporters to participate in an anarchist group called A15 Action’s international
wave of disruptions intended to cause economic damage on April 15, 2024. Actions included
obstructing highways, blocking access to ports, causing flight delays by blocking airport
entrances, and preventing access to corporate buildings involved with the Israeli military. A15
Action continues o advocate for violent resistance to law enforcement and other actions.
 USCPR has also created and distributed several guides that incite illegal acts of protest and point
readers to websites that assist more aggressive criminal actions.

For example, its “Stop Gaza Genocide” toolkit glorifies disrupting targets’ transportation and
“business as usual” and links to guides that help protesters avoid identification. Its “Shut It Down
Toolkit” links to pages about implementing disruptive protests like occupations (taking over
buildings) and human blockades. Readers are directed toward groups that assist more serious
criminality like Beautiful Trouble, Vision Change Win, Ruckus Society, and Mutant Legal.

Another USCPR-associated guide is the “Divest in Militarism, Invest in Life” toolkit from
Dissenters—with logos signifying USCPR and various other groups’ involvement in its
creation—which targets corporate and weapons manufacturing sites. The guide then links to
another Dissenters guide titled “Organizing a Direct Action At Weapons Manufacturing Sites,”
which advocates for blocking access to buildings used by defense contractors.

Foundation for Middle East Peace

The U.S.-based Foundation for Middle East Peace funds many pro-terrorism organizations. Its
website’s list of grantees in 2024 includes at least a dozen groups identified by Capital Research
Center as being pro-terrorism.
FMEP 2024 Non-Resident Palestinian Fellow Rania Batrice published a post on X that ridiculed
the characterization of Palestinians who attack Israelis as terrorists, writing, “when the rightful
owners resist this disgusting abuse and occupation, they are called terrorists.”

After the October 7 attacks, Batrice criticized Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for condemning the
attacks as “unprovoked.” However, she denied supporting Hamas, claiming “my community
doesn’t support Hamas” and that “Hamas was out in place with the help of the US in 1987.”

Grassroots Global Justice Alliance

The U.S.-based Grassroots Global Justice Alliance (GGJA) is a coalition of over 60 U.S.-based
organizations. It acknowledged having an association with a PFLP entity in 2023.

GGJA’s openly declared that it sides with the “Palestinian resistance” after the Hamas-led
terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023. GGJA wrote:

“We see many similarities between the resistance movement of Palestinians to military
occupation and the movements we are part of here to end racist policing, incarceration,
occupation of Indigenous territories, and white supremacist, Christian fundamentalism
targeting Black people, people of color, immigrants, women, LGBTQ people, and the
poor and working class.”

The statement referred to “Abeer Abu Khdeir, our sister ally from the Union of Palestinian
Women’s Committees” and complained that Israeli forces had seized her electronic devices.

The Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees is a PFLP front. Khdeir has been arrested
multiple times. Khdeir ‘s husband has been arrested many times for his work as a PFLP
operative, spending a cumulative amount of over 15 years in prison.

GGJA also joined an effort to pressure the U.S. government into forcing Israel to reverse its
shutting down of six accused PFLP fronts.

In May 2021, GGJA endorsed Palestinian violence and rioting targeting Israelis, demanding that
Congress “support their right to resist Israel’s ethnic cleansing.” It also said, “We are inspired by
the resistance” taking place.

The coalition has also come to the defense of anarchist terrorists, including those operating under
the labels of “Stop Cop City,” “Defend the Atlanta Forest” and Antifa, who are being prosecuted
on domestic terrorism charges in Georgia for using violence and property destruction to impede
the construction of a police training facility.

GGJA also republished a post by the Muslim Abolitionists Futures National Network that
indirectly endorsed the Antifa anarchist militants by expressing support for “local forest
defenders” and saying it will provide “resources for direct support.”

GGJA condemns the “deadly enforcement and militarization” of the U.S.-Mexican border to
prevent illegal immigration and exploitation of lax border security by criminals and potential
terrorists. A December 2023 post states alongside “From Palestine to the Border Wall:”

“We know that our struggle against genocide and militarism in Palestine is the same
struggle against militarism here in the U.S. and at our southern border. We will not allow
our communities to be divided and conquered, or used as bargaining chips to push
through deeply problematic and unpopular military aid.”

GGJA Executive Director Cindy Weisner traveled to the Korean Peninsula as part of the Women
Cross DMZ delegation that demands that the U.S. and South Korea sign a peace treaty with
North Korea and that the U.S. eliminate its nuclear weapons.

In 2020, GGJA endorsed violence against law enforcement, posting a graphic showing weapons
and criminal tactics used by protestors, such as blockading roads in order to impede cop cars, and
encouraging demonstrators not to criticize each other’s actions or provide information about each
other’s crimes. The post states:

“Diversity of Tactics: Everyone is free to support the cause as they see fit. We don’t
police each other’s actions, or snitch on each other to pigs or the media. At same time, we
take care not to endanger others with our actions.”

GGJA also distributed advice on how to thwart police crackdowns on protests and evade arrest,
posting graphics that refer to police officers as “pigs” and encourage forcibly freeing those who
are being apprehended.

After the U.S. killed senior Iranian terrorist Qassem Suleimani in Iraq, GGJA characterized the
U.S. as the aggressor and launched protests against the alleged U.S. plan to wage war on Iran and
Iraq for profit and to “resist the U.S. Imperial War Machine.” Its post stated:

“We know the roots of this war. The economy that is extracting natural resources and
burning this planet is the same US-led racial capitalism and imperialism that drives wars
on oil-rich lands. US militarism, with its tentacles across the globe and war here at home
on Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, is one of the greatest threats to the
climate crisis and life systems globally. This is a critical moment for our collective action
against war profiteers.”
 In 2021, GGJA took part in the illegal “Block the Boat” act of economic sabotage organized by
GGJA member Arab Resource and Organizing Center. The objective was to prevent a shipping
vessel from delivering supplies in California because the company is owned by Israelis. The
crime was endorsed by over 100 extremist organizations.
A sympathetic news report claimed that about 2,000 activists took part and physically forced the
boat to turn back, likely costing the company millions of dollars and hurting American
businesses who had expected its goods to arrive on time at that location.

Other extremist members of GGJA who have expressed support for terrorism or anti-
Americanism include Arab Resource and Organizing Center, Palestinian Youth Movement,
Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, Indigenous Environmental Network and Jews for Racial and
Economic Justice.
GGJA refuses to recognize the U.S.’s right to exist, instead referring to the country as “Turtle
Island (so-called USA).” The Alliance calls for the shutting down of Mount Rushmore and
“return of all public lands to their original stewards.” It says it seeks “to bring forth liberation
and self-determination across Turtle Island.”

Grassroots International

The U.S.-based Grassroots International (GI) finances PFLP-affiliated organizations, frames

anti-Israel terrorism as acts of self-defense and does not recognize the U.S. as a country, instead
referring to it as Turtle Island.

GI’s official statement after the October 7, 2023 attacks did not condemn the attacks. The group
only said it was sad for the loss of life and that the Hamas-led atrocities were a response to
“Israel’s brutal occupation, settler colonialism, and military siege.”
GI’s statement recommends reading remarks by the PFLP-affiliated Stop the Wall Palestinian
Grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign (STW) that characterized the invasion as a justifiable
return to the Palestinians’ homeland.

GI’s handling of donations for three PFLP affiliates, STW, Palestinian Centre for Human Rights
and the Union of Agricultural Work Committees, caused Democracy Engine to sever its
relationship with GI in 2018. As a result, GI became unable to process credit card donations for
the groups.

Despite knowing about Palestinian Centre for Human Rights’ well-documented relationship with
PFLP, GI still finances the group and another PFLP-affiliated, openly pro-terrorism entity named
 Palestinian Medical Relief Society. GI says the purpose of its Palestine Emergency Fund is to
provide money to “local partners,” specifically mentioning them alongside Gaza Community
Mental Health Programme.

GI named STW as one of its “partners” in 2021. The group also joined a coalition protesting
Israel’s shutting down of six organizations for being PFLP fronts in 2022.

GI has an anti-American ideology. It blamed “racism, colonialism, and capitalism” for the
humanitarian disaster in Haiti following a massive earthquake in 2021.
In June 2023, GI announced it had teamed up with Resource Generation to have an
“Internationalism Summer School” to teach about the “international struggle against global
capitalism.” Its advertisement featured images of Fidel Castro and Vladimir Lenin.

GI Executive Director Sara Mersha She describes her location in her bio She is also a former
board member of the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance extremist group.

GI boasts that it has provided over $60 million to social movements since 1983. Multiple
grantees are pro-PFLP or associated with PFLP entities.

GI Executive Director Sara Mersha is a former board member of the Grassroots Global Justice
Alliance. Its extremism and association with PFLP are discussed in this appendix. Public records
indicate GI has given around $1 million to the group.

It has also given around $90,000 to Education for Just Peace in the Middle East, also known as
U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, which has PFLP ties and sympathies.
GI donated about $29,000 to Alliance for Global Justice, the fiscal sponsor for PFLP front
Samidoun. The U.S. and Canadian governments designated and sanctioned Samidoun in October
2024 for being a “sham charity” set up to finance PFLP.

About $10,000 was given to Westchester People's Action Coalition (WESPAC Foundation),
which is the fiscal sponsor for pro-PFLP and pro-Hamas extremist groups like Students for
Justice in Palestine, International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, U.S. Palestinian Community
Network, Palestinian Youth Movement, Within Our Lifetime and Palestinian Feminist Collective.

Grassroots Jerusalem

Leaders of the Israel-based group Grassroots Jerusalem, also known as Grassroots Al-Quds, have
expressed support for terrorism, including the hijacking of airliners.
 In an April 2016 interview, Grassroots Jerusalem leaders Amany Khalifa and Fayrouz Sharqawi
ridiculed the notion of “coexistence” with Israel and gave a positive portrayal of Hamas.

Khalifa said:

“We have a right to resist Israeli occupation. We are hopeful. It’s not our right to judge
Palestinian resistance. Resistance can’t go by the book. The last Israeli war with Hamas
showed Hamas digging tunnels under Israel into a kindergarten and choosing not to
attack, focusing on military targets. I call it the IOF [Israeli Occupation Forces] not IDF. I
went to Hebrew University, it’s a military factory, production of militarised society. There
has been Palestinian resistance since the occupation of 1948. In the 1970s, planes were
hijacked to raise the Palestinian cause. It’s ridiculous when the Palestinian Authority talks
about co-existing with Israel.”

The leaders harshly condemned the Palestinian Authority for cooperating with Israel and
pursuing a peace process. Sharqawi said:

“The Palestinian Authority is the number one traitor, collaborator. [President Mahmoud]
Abbas speaks against the will of the people, saying he wants peace. Abbas is worse than
the Israeli government. PA has been critical post the Oslo peace agreement; Israel
couldn’t control the West Bank without the PA. Palestinians want to live. We want to
liberate ourselves.”

Institute for Middle East Understanding

The Institute for Middle East Understanding legitimizes anti-Israel terrorism by comparing
Palestinian violence to Ukrainian resistance of the Russian invasion. Its website states:
“While armed Ukrainian resistance to Russia’s aggression and military occupation has
been lionized and valorized by the media and policymakers, armed Palestinian resistance
to Israel’s aggression and military occupation–even when that resistance targets only
Israeli troops, which is legitimate under international law–is vilified and demonized.”

Institute for Palestine Studies

The Institute for Palestine Studies (IPS) has branches in Ramallah, Beirut and
Washington D.C., with the U.S. wing formed as a tax-exempt non-profit in 2013. The
group glorifies terrorists, particularly those of Hamas.

IPS’ website described the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks as a “Palestinian resistance
operation” in Arabic three days later. The website’s English reaction was significantly
more subtle, reflecting the group’s clear intention to obfuscate its extremism to less
receptive audiences.

IPS’ English statement announced that it would start "daily press summaries on the War
on Gaza", deceptively framing the day’s violence as having been initiated by Israeli
aggression against the entire Palestinian population, rather than a response to the
bloodiest day for Jews since the Holocaust. IPS did the same on Instagram, only
mentioning Palestinian civilian casualties, referring to Hamas terrorists as “militants” and
describing their Israeli victims as “settlers and soldiers.”

The introductory paragraph to the summaries refers to the attacks as “Operation Al-Aqsa
Flood,” adopting the terminology for the attacks that is favored by Hamas to characterize
the atrocities as legitimate military operations. The rest of the summaries similarly refer
to Hamas “fighters,” refer to Israeli towns as “Occupied,” and refer to every Israeli action
as targeted at civilians while avoiding mentioning Hamas’s targeting of non-combatant
Israelis and never referring to their victims as civilians.

The group’s website has honored the anniversary of the death of Hamas spiritual leader
Sheikh Ahmad Yasin, mourned the death of PFLP terrorist Walid Daqqa, and published
favorable obituaries for Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar when they were
killed.

In November 2023, IPS’s website featured a video from Ismat Mansour, a close personal
associate of Yahya Sinwar, who he got to know while spending 15 years in an Israeli
prison after being convicted of stabbing an Israeli man to death with three other
teenagers. Israel released him in 2013 in a bid to advance peace talks.

The title of IPS’s website post with the video is titled, “Prisoner exchange deals are one
of the tools of the revolution.” At the time, Hamas was holding about 250 hostages,
including Americans, it had kidnapped during the October 7 attacks. IPS’ intention was
obviously to justify the kidnappings and ongoing holdings of the hostages that Hamas
was using to demand Israeli capitulation, including the release of Palestinian terrorists
from prison.

Although IPS supports Hamas, it appears to be more ideologically in sync with Popular
Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Marxist-Leninist terrorist group allied
 with Hamas and backed by Iran. On July 9, 2023, IPS celebrated the 100th anniversary of
the founding of the Palestine Communist Party, now known as the Palestinian People’s
Party.

Its Instagram page idolizes PFLP terrorist Leila Khaled as a “revolutionary,” putting her
on a pedestal for having led “the struggle of Palestinian women into new and
unprecedented directions.” IPS specifically mentions her hijackings of airliners in 1969
and 1970. It also glorified PFLP spokesperson Ghassan Kanafani on the anniversary of
his death due to an Israeli assassination.

The U.S. wing’s President and Chairman is Professor Rashid Khalidi.

Khalidi deceptively hid his previous status as a PLO official until historian Martin
Kramer revealed the truth about his resume in 2008. He was a spokesman for the
Palestine Liberation Organization when it was based in Lebanon and officially listed as a
terrorist group by the U.S. government. He was still able to move to the U.S. and become
a longtime professor at the University of Chicago.

Khalidi appeared to criticize the October 7 attacks in a December 2023 interview, saying,
“If a Native American liberation movement came and fired an R.P.G. at my apartment
building because I’m living on stolen land, would that be justified? Of course it wouldn’t
be justified…You either accept international humanitarian law or you don’t.”

However, the comment is at odds with his other statements and those of the organization
he leads.

Khalidi consistently legitimizes the violence of anti-Israeli terrorist groups by depicting

them as acts of self-defense that are only taken as a last resort to try to save Palestinian
livelihood from U.S.-backed Israeli genocide.

For example, he evades the role of the Islamist ideology in Hamas’s decisions to wage
violent jihad and institute theocracy, instead characterizing Hamas as freedom fighters
putting their lives on the line for the noble cause of liberation and Palestinian human
rights.

“Hamas’s philosophy of armed resistance is unlikely to disappear as long as there is no

prospect of an end to military occupation, colonisation and oppression of the Palestinian
people,” he wrote.

Khalidi ridiculed Western depictions of Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the October 7
attacks, as evil. He said in July 2024, “The United States has to have a bogeyman, a
Saddam Hussein figure, a Hitler figure” and “I think Sinwar has been chosen.”

 Islamic Society of North America

The U.S.-based Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) was listed by the Justice Department
as one of the “one of the “individuals/entities who are and/or were members of the U.S. Muslim
Brotherhood” during the trial of the Holy Land Foundation, another Brotherhood front whose
leaders were prosecuted for financing Hamas. The Brotherhood is the parent organization of
Hamas.

ISNA was designated as an unindicted co-conspirator in that trial. One of the reasons is because
the Holy Land Foundation operated partially out of the ISNA building and donations to the
Foundation were deposited into an ISNA bank account, including checks made out to the
“Palestinian Mujahadeen,” a term that is used to refer to Hamas or other Palestinian terrorist
groups.

The designation of ISNA as an unindicted co-conspirator was upheld by U.S. District Court
Judge Jorge Solis based on “ample evidence” linking it to Hamas. However, he ruled that the
designation should not have been made public.

ISNA was identified as a Brotherhood front by the FBI as early as 1987, according to
declassified documents. The files record that a FBI source who had traveled internationally with
ISNA and other groups birthed by the Brotherhood was “convinced that this organization has a
secret agenda which includes the spread of the Islamic Revolution to all non-Islamic
governments in the world which does include the United States.”

One FBI memo reveals that the source shared an internal ISNA document in 1988 that, as the
FBI put it, “clearly states that ISNA has a political goal to exert influence on political decision
making and legislation in North America that is contrary to their certification in their not-for-
profit tax returns as filed both with the State of Indiana and with IRS.”

Although ISNA says it condemns any terrorism committed by Hamas, its statement in reaction to
the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks by Hamas did not condemn Hamas or its actions. ISNA
only said it is “saddened” by the outbreak of war, wishes for violence to stop, that Israel is to
blame for the “root cause” of the attacks. ISNA only condemned the violence committed by
Israel, notably declining to do the same for Palestinian violence.

Jewish Voice for Peace

The U.S.-based Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) has an extensive record of advocacy for terrorism
and terrorist groups; relationships with pro-terrorism groups and, according to Stand With Us,
“questionable funding sources and foreign connections with Lebanon and Iran, meriting further
investigation.”

JVP’s October 7 statement is titled, “The Root of Violence is Oppression.” It does not express
even a hint of any objection to the attacks. Instead, it frames them as defensive acts and does not
refer to the violence or perpetrators as being terrorism-related. It summarized the day’s events as
follows:
“Following 16 years of Israeli military blockade, Palestinian fighters from Gaza launched
an unprecedented assault, in which hundreds of Israelis were killed and wounded, and
civilians kidnapped. The Israeli government declared war, launching airstrikes, killing
hundreds of Palestinians and wounding thousands, bombing residential buildings and
threatening to commit war crimes against besieged Palestinians in Gaza.

The Israeli government may have just declared war, but its war on Palestinians started
over 75 years ago. Israeli apartheid and occupation — and United States complicity in
that oppression — are the source of all this violence. Reality is shaped by when you start
the clock.”

Although JVP says it is wrong to deliberately kill civilians and has condemned Hamas’s
terrorism when it’s been backed into a corner, it reacts to every mention of anti-Israeli terrorism
with some version of "the right to resist colonization is enshrined in international law."

JVP, its officials and its chapters have explicitly supported terrorism on other occasions, though.

Explicit Support for Terrorism

JVP advisory board member Judith Butler defends the October 7 attacks as “armed resistance”
and rejects descriptions of it as acts of terrorism or anti-Semitism.

The Milwaukee chapter of JVP endorsed the October 7 attacks by signing the Wisconsin
Coalition for Justice in Palestine’s October 12 statement about “counter[ing] [the] false narrative
about Israel’s war on Gaza” that Hamas is a terrorist group and the October 7 atrocities qualify
as terrorist attacks. The coalition described the terrorism as legitimate “resistance.”

On the very same day of the October 7 attacks, it was announced that the Seattle chapter of JVP
had organized a rally for the next day “to show our solidarity with Palestine.” The announcement
ends with “Resistance Until Return!”

The rally was organized with pro-Hamas groups including Samidoun, which is essentially an
entity of the PFLP terrorist group allied with Hamas. The rally was obviously an expression of
support for the attacks, as the announcement’s text and the theme of the rally, had no mention of
Israeli casualties. The group that wrote the announcement, Falistiniyat, held a more rally the
following week that was more explicitly in support of the atrocities, with its announcement
featuring photos taken during the attacks.

At least one chapter promoted the Resistance News Network after the October 7 attacks, which is
a social media page that aggregates official terrorist statements and provides materials inciting
terrorism and instructing extremists on how to commit violence and destructive crimes.

JVP responded to a rise in Palestinian violence in 2021 with “we honor the steadfastness of
Palestinian resistance.” It did the same in 2015 after a Palestinian wave of terrorism known as
the “stabbing intifada” or “knife intifada” begun.

In April 2022, its Detroit chapter said:

"In the aftermath of any act of resistance carried out by Palestinians, many hasten to
condemn the ‘barbaric’ act of killing ‘civilian’ settlers, in complete disregard of the
systemic violence that ‘Israel’ commits against Palestinians on a daily basis, and in a
blatant attempt to distort the truth that Palestinians are the only civilians to have ever
existed in historical Palestine. Zionist settlers are either current or future soldiers in the
IOF’s reserves or veterans."

In Mau 2021, its Knoxville chapter posted a message on a sign that said, “Blaming Hamas for
firing rockets is like blaming a woman for punching her rapist.”
JVP has also purposely deceived for the sake of whitewashing and glamorizing individual
terrorists.

It has quoted senior-level terrorist operative Marwan Barghouti (often falsely referred to as the
“Palestinian Nelson Mandela” in some quarters) while describing him merely as leading a
hunger strike by Palestinian political prisoners who are upset with how badly Israel treats them.

JVP has, like many other anti-Israel and pro-terror groups, repeatedly exalted PFLP terrorist
Rasmea Odeh. Such groups rallied behind her because she faced deportation for lying on her
citizenship application about how she pled guilty to involvement in bomb plots in Israel. JVP
describes her as a “a feminist leader… [who has] survived decades of Israeli and U.S.
government persecution and oppression.”
It has also thrown its support behind a campaign to pressure Israel into releasing the leader of
PFLP. In 2022, it tried to use its political capital to influence the U.S. government to condemn
Israel’s banning of six non-governmental organizations for acting as fronts for PFLP; an
accusation that is justifiable on the basis of an overwhelming amount of publicly-available
evidence without even considering the confidential data collected by the Israeli authorities.

On July 8, 2024, JVP posted an article arguing that Israel is about to collapse as a nation and
characterizes it as a desirable scenario. The post expresses gratitude for the October 7 attacks and
the intensified “liberation struggle.”

It listed the fracturing of Israeli Jewish society between secular liberals and “the religious settler
right,” the country’s “economic crisis,” its “growing international isolation,” declining support
for Israel among younger Jews; “the weakness of the Israeli army” as “exposed on October 7;”
and “the renewal of energy among the younger generation of Palestinians” in “the liberation
struggle” as proofs that Israel’s demise is near.

JVP’s Columbia University chapter coauthored an Instagram post that praised Casey Goonan,
who responded to the police arresting protestors at the University of California-Berkeley by
engaging in multiple acts of arson, including using a Molotov cocktail to destroy a cop car on
campus. The post’s graphic calling for Goonan’s release has flames with the words, “Glory to
our martyrs” and “resistance is love.”

The text of the post, written by the Columbia University Apartheid Divest coalition that the JVP
chapter is a member of, says “CUAD stands in full support of Casey Goonan and all people
resisting oppressive imperialist entities from Palestine to UCB to Columbia.”

On October 20, 2023, JVP liked an Instagram post quoting and glorifying George Jackson, a
communist militant who was killed in 1971 during a bloody attempt to break out of prison. He
and his coconspirators took three corrections officers and two white inmates hostage and
murdered them during the attempt. The quote claiming that a “revolution” is needed to fight
“fascism” in the U.S.

JVP also regularly cosponsors and promotes protests and events held by pro-terrorism
organizations, knowing very well that advocacy for terrorism will happen as a result.

Anti-Americanism

Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) published a holiday post for its 1.3 million Instagram followers
and approximately 85 chapters nationwide that is aimed at delegitimizing the U.S.

It argues that the U.S.’s right to exist is as meritless as Israel’s, a country that JVP believes and
hopes is in the process of a collapse that leads it to “disintegrate” and be buried forever.

Part of the post reads:

 “This July 4th, we contemplate parallels between the colonization of Turtle Island
(‘North America’) and Palestine:

Genocide. Land theft. Ethnic cleansing. Environmental destruction. Forced displacement

of people from their homes, and sequestration into isolated areas with (artificially) scarce
resources. Criminalization and surveillance. Colonial control over lives, and denial of
self-determination and sovereignty. Erasure of native history and culture. Ideologies
(Manifest Destiny, Zionism) of entitlement to, and justification for, these atrocities…

…As @ndncollective writes, although Palestinians and people indigenous to Turtle Island
‘come from different nations and geographies, the struggles against settler colonialism
are the same… because settler colonists share playbooks,” and ‘zionism, white
supremacy, and imperialism… act as one to oppress and eliminate us.’”

The concluding text is particularly dangerous and radicalizing because it upholds Palestinian
“organ[izing]” and “fight[ing]” against Israel as a model for pro-indigenous confrontation with
the U.S.:

“[B]oth groups of native people are working toward a similar vision of liberation.
In @ndncollective’s words: ‘Just as we fight and organize to reclaim land on Turtle
Island, our Palestinian relatives fight and organize to return the land and for the land to
return to the people.’”

JVP would probably deny that its words are a rallying call for violence and sedition, but these
words are not typos. The text leaves no wiggle room for JVP to credibly deny that it is making
the moral case for violence and militant revolution.

The last slide in the post is a map of the continent showing where Native American tribes resided
so JVP’s readers can “find out whose land your on.”

In other words, see what JVP and its comrades hope will be restored from the ashes of the U.S.
once its “colonization” of the mythical Native American “Turtle Island” is forced to come to an
end.

JVP liked an anti-American Fourth of July Instagram post that was published collaboratively by
the pro-Hamas groups Students for Justice in Palestine, Palestinian Youth Movement and Writers
Against the War on Gaza. It states:

It states:

“THIS JULY 4TH, CALL THE U.S. WHAT IT IS: THE ENGINE OF GLOBAL
IMPERIALISM

We reject the ‘independence day’ of a blood soaked empire…”

Land Defense Coalition

The Land Defense Coalition (LDC) consists of about a dozen organizations, including Stop the
Wall Palestinian Grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign, which is closely linked to the PFLP
terrorist group.

A leader of Stop the Wall (STW), Salah Khawaja, has been repeatedly arrested for his
involvement with PFLP. In 2018, STW’s credit card processing method was severed due to its
links to PFLP.

One of LDC’s stated objectives “Resisting Israeli apartheid and neoliberal exploitation in the
Global South” and “resisting settler colonialism.”

LDC’s website complains that Palestinian Authority is militarily “incapacitated,” thus revealing
its desire for more aggressive violence against Israel.

LDC says it is part of a global campaign called World Without Walls that is essentially against all
borders, but almost exclusively focuses on pushing for the dismantling of Israel’s controversial
security barrier and walls along the U.S.-Mexico border, condemning “US racist and exclusivist
migration policies that stop the people from crossing borders.”

STW, which has fundraised for LDC, reacted to the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks on Israel by
describing them as an act of self-defense. STW glorifies Khader Adnan, a spokesman for the
Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group.

In November 2023, STW praised the “Palestinian and Arab resistance” for impeding the Israeli
“genocide” that “aims to consolidate again the crumbling foundations of imperialist American-
European dominance in the region and to counter the expansion of Chinese and Russian
influence.”

STW also describes itself as a “co-founder” of the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and
Sanctions National Committee (BNC). The BNC leadership includes the Palestinian National
and Islamic Forces, an umbrella for coordinating the efforts of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad,
PFLP, PFLP-GC, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and other terrorist groups.

STW’s website also boasts of having played a “leading part” in a terrorism-related conference
called “United in Struggle” in October 2019. The event “brought together the Palestinian forces
 engaged in popular struggle from the occupied West Bank, the political parties, Palestinian
movements from inside the Green Line and the Gaza Strip in order to build a national strategy of
struggle.”

Makan Rights

The U.K.-based Makan Rights (MR) supports the PFLP terrorist group, endorses acts of
terrorism and works to merge the LGBTQ+ cause with that of the terrorists seeking Israel’s
destruction.

MR positively references former PFLP spokesman Ghassan Kanafani and celebrate his birthday.
It also glorifies PFLP member Khalida Jarrar and idolizes Walid Daqqa, who oversaw PFLP
terrorist attacks. It also helps PFLP fronts.

One of the “positive Palestinian stories” highlighted in 2022 was the “Unity Intifada” that
resulted in 13 people in Israel being murdered, including two children, and hundreds injured. The
group praises the bloody Second Intifada, describing the violence that targeted Israeli and
Palestinian civilians as “the resistance movement.”

It also quotes Angela Davis, a long-time anti-American communist activist who was prosecuted
for her alleged involvement in an attack on a prison but she was not convicted.

One of MR’s main objectives is to criticize “Western-centric framings of LGBT+ history” and
“reframe queer liberation as essential to anti-colonial struggle.” It says, “Liberation for queer
Palestinians is impossible without a free Palestine making queer Palestinians an integral part of
the Palestinian struggle.”

MR tries to rebut criticism of anti-LGBT sentiment in the “global south” by blaming it on

Western influence, specifically laws against homosexuality that were instituted under British
colonial rule.
A major focus of MR is to downplay the hostile treatment of the LGBT community in the
Palestinian, Arab and Muslim world and accuse those mentioning the oppression of sexual
minorities as supremacist bigots engaging in “pinkwashing.” It says:
 “Real liberation for queer Palestinians is impossible without a free Palestine…As a
supposed contrast, Tel Aviv is promoted as a queer-friendly city amidst a homogeneously
homophobic region. This reflects a broader narrative in much of Western liberal society
which uses the issue of queerness to project an image of cultural superiority.
This practice of exploiting and appropriating queer liberation and inclusion to appear
progressive while distracting from colonial violence is referred to as pinkwashing.”

Middle East Children's Alliance

The U.S.-based Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA) said on October 7, “We are witnessing
the people of Gaza rising up to respond to decades of Israelis settler colonial violence.”

Its list of Palestinian non-profit partners in Gaza and the West Bank includes Stop the Wall
Palestinian Grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign (STW), a group allegedly linked to the
Marxist-Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist group.

STW’s website endorses the Hamas-led terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, which
PFLP participated in.

STW glorifies Khader Adnan, a spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group.
In November 2023, STW praised the “Palestinian and Arab resistance” for impeding the Israeli
“genocide” that “aims to consolidate again the crumbling foundations of imperialist American-
European dominance in the region and to counter the expansion of Chinese and Russian
influence.”

STW also describes itself as a “co-founder” of the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and
Sanctions National Committee (BNC). The BNC leadership includes the Palestinian National
and Islamic Forces, an umbrella for coordinating the efforts of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad,
PFLP, PFLP-GC, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and other terrorist groups.

Middle East Policy Network / Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network

Al-Shabaka, which is registered in California as the Middle East Policy Network, reacted to the
October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel with a statement in support of the violence:
“Al-Shabaka rejects the Israeli regime’s colonial borders that work to fragment and
ultimately erase Palestinian existence. Breaching these boundaries expands the
Palestinian imaginary [sic] for possibilities of both resistance and collective freedom.
We recognize that decolonization is not a metaphor; it is not merely statements or
analysis, but an active process that demands the dismantling of colonial power and the
reclamation of land.

We stand alongside those committed to this effort and to the liberation of Palestinians
worldwide.”

Mijente

The U.S.-based Mijente is fiscally sponsored by the Mijente Support Committee.

Mijente is a member of the Coalition to March on the DNC, an alliance that includes over 150
extremist groups and endorsed the Hamas-led atrocities on October 7, 2023. The Coalition also
expresses solidarity with the governments of Russia and China, depicting them as victims of
Western aggression.
 It says its ideology includes Feminismo comunitario, or communitarian feminism, that pursues
“a radical change in the patriarchal-capitalist-racist-colonial order.” It titles its three campaigns
to achieve this as “Without the State, Against the State, From the State.”

Mijente used to be fiscally sponsored by Puente Human Rights Movement and received $25,000

Movement for Black Lives

The U.S.-based Movement for Black Lives was involved in the creation of a "Black and
Palestinian Solidarity Organizing Toolkit" that endorsed Hamas by showcasing a glorifying
image of a Hamas paraglider associated with the October 7 attacks with the words “Black
Liberation for Palestinian Freedom” above it.

The guide provides links for three guides from the anarchism-associated Ruckus Society that
endorse conducting illegal “direct actions,” including property destruction, evading law
enforcement, using false IDs, occupations of buildings and land, seizing assets, revealing the
identities of government agents, blockades, interfering with governmental or industrial
operations, and economic shutdowns.

MPower Change
The U.S.-based MPower Change (MPC) is led by Linda Sarsour, a controversial activist with a
long history of incendiary rhetoric and associations with terrorism supporters. Biden condemned
her views in 2020 and said she would not have any connection to his campaign.

Family Ties to Terrorism

In 2017, Sarsour confirmed the accuracy of quotes attributed to her in 2004 about having
relatives in Israeli prisons for terrorism-related activities. She said:

“I can't deny that people related to me have been in Israeli prison. Does that mean that
any of them were charged with crimes or they are terrorists or potential suicide bombers?
Absolutely not. This is just the reality of Palestinians living under military occupation.”
The 2004 report documented her saying that her cousin and a family friend had appeared in a
pro-violence Arabic newspaper.

Sarsour said her cousin had spent 25 years in prison in Israeli and the family friend was serving
99 years. Her confirmed that her brother-in-law is in prison for a 12-year sentence related to his
membership in Hamas. She did not deny his involvement with the Islamist terrorist group but
noted that he differs with Hamas ideologically because he is a secularist.

She claimed she has also been questioned by U.S. law enforcement.

Sasour also said that the U.S. government was trying to deport her husband, Maher Judeh, also
known as Maher Abo Tamer, after living in the country for seven years.

Her husband repeatedly praised terrorists on social media. He idolized PFLP founder George
Habash, praised a terrorist who injured two Israeli soldiers by shooting at a checkpoint, and
mourned the deaths of senior Hamas operatives.

Legitimization of Terrorism

Sarsour’s reaction on Instagram to the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks failed to condemn the
atrocities, describe Hamas as a terrorist group, or demand an end to anti-Israel violence. Her
entire vitriol was directed at Israel, demanding an end to Israel military operations and its
“apartheid” government and characterizing Palestinian terrorism as acts of self-defense and for
liberation from oppression.

Sarsour said in 2011 that she supports non-violent resistance to Israel and isn’t a supporter of
either of the main Palestinian factions, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. However, she has
repeatedly spoken positively about terrorist groups and acts of violence against Israel.

She reacted to Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh by posting an Instagram story
encouraging Hamas supporters with a quote from senior Hamas official Musa Abu Marzouk
saying “Hamas will not be affected by the assassination of any of its leaders.”
On May 15, 2021, Sarsour tweeted “Palestinians have a right to defend themselves. Period,” in
reaction to massive rocket attacks on Israel by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Israel’s
military response.

On September 1, 2014, Sarsour justified Palestinian violence in response to Israel’s decision to

declare 1,000 unbuilt acres near Bethlehem to be state land so that an adjacent Jewish
community could expand due to population growth.

The ownership of the land was officially undetermined and construction would enable the Jewish
communities to have a route to southern Jerusalem. Israeli officials said the timing of the
decision was due to Palestinian terrorists’ kidnapping and murdering of three Israeli teenagers
near the Jewish community, hoping it would deter future attacks aimed at reducing or eliminating
the Jewish presence.

She wrote, “Israel steals more land and they expect the Palestinians to sit back? Then
Palestinians are the terrorists? I am beyond words.”

Sarsour called for the release of Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist Muhammad Allan in 2015.
That same year, she posted a photo of a young boy carrying rocks to throw at Israeli police and
wrote above it, “the definition of courage.”

Pro-Terror Associations

Sarsour identified Siraj Wahhaj, the radical imam of the Masjid at-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn,
as her “mentor, motivator, and encourager” and her “favorite person in the room” during her
speech at the Islamic Society of North America annual conference in 2017.

Wahhaj, who is also the former Amir of the Muslim Alliance in North America extremist group
that has had terrorists as senior officials, has a long history of militant anti-Americanism,
including support for violence, Islamist subversion inside the U.S. and justifying theocratic
violations of human rights.

The NYPD revealed in 2013 that its covert investigation of Wahhaj’s mosque was partially based
on evidence that his mosque’s officials and security team were teaching members including
terror suspects on how to physically disarm police officers; illegally trafficking weapons; had
fundraised at least $200,000 at the mosque for terrorist organizations and because of Wahhaj’s
close associations with Islamist terrorists and criminals.
She also reportedly referred to Nihad Awad, the Executive-Director of the Council on American-
Islamic Relations (CAIR), as “Uncle Nihad” at the organization’s annual banquet in 2014. Awad
and CAIR have historical ties to Hamas and its parent group, the Muslim Brotherhood. Awad
publicly cheered the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks by Hamas and CAIR was designated by the
Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation for
financing Hamas.

Sarsour praised convicted PFLP terrorist Ramea Odeh in 2017, saying she felt "honored" to
speak at the same event as her during a Jewish Voice for Peace conference in Chicago.

Odeh was deported from the U.S. because she lied on her citizenship application about how she
was imprisoned in Israel for her involvement in bomb plots including the murdering of two
Jewish students at Hebrew University in 1969. She pled guilty to the Israeli charges.
Sarsour is also a longtime admirer of Louis Farrakhan, the ferociously anti-Semitic and pro-
terrorism leader of the Nation of Islam.
She spoke at Farrakhan’s rally in 2015, only one year after he preached in favor of rioting and
attacking police officers, telling parents, “Teach your baby how to throw the bottle if they can,”
referring to Molotov cocktails. He urged the audience to “fight,” kill white people and “die” so
they can “tear this goddamn country apart.”

Sarsour and her Women’s March co-leaders reportedly received protection from the Nation of
Islam’s security team named Fruit of Islam. In 2015, Sarsour made a Facebook post showing five
Fruit of Islam bodyguards, apparently saying they had protected her and that they are in a shared
movement. She wrote above the photo, “FOI Brothers, security for the movement.”

She proudly reposted a link to her 2015 speech for Farrakhan in 2017. When her links to the
Nation of Islam received negative media attention, she mocked the “Jewish media” for saying
she and “Minister Farrakhan are the existential threats to the Jewish community.”

With Sarsour at the helm, the Women’s March celebrated the birthday of anti-American
communist Assata Shakur, who committed kidnappings, bank robberies and the murder of a
police officer in 1973 as a member of the Black Liberation Army terrorist group. Shakur broke
out of prison in 1979 and escaped to Cuba where the communist dictatorship harbored her until
she died.

The Women’s March Twitter account honored her “resistance” as a “revolutionary.”

When CNN anchor Jake Tapper called out the post’s “ugly sentiments” and asked progressives to
condemn it, Sarsour accused him of having joined “the ranks of the alt-right,” a term used for
white supremacists even though he’s Jewish.
About two years later, Sarsour and MPower launched a "Cancel Tapper" campaign to pressure
CNN to fire him for spreading “Islamophobic,” “anti-Arab,” “anti-Palestinian” and “far-right”
hate. She claimed it was motivated by his comments accurately comparing how Arab anti-
Semitic hate speech fuels Hamas’s terrorism with how white supremacist and anti-immigrant
hate speech fuels terrorism like the August 2019 shooting at a Walmart in El Paso that targeted
Latinos and killed 23 people and injured 22.
Sarsour and her fellow Women’s March leaders’ inflammatory behaviors, particularly their
refusal to disavow Farrakhan even after he preached in February 2018 that “white folks are going
down” and “the powerful Jews are my enemy,” prompted original Women’s March founder
Teresa Shook to publicly demand their resignations. She wrote:
“Bob Bland, Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour and Carmen Perez of Women’s March, Inc.
have steered the Movement away from its true course. I have waited, hoping they would
right the ship. But they have not. In opposition to our Unity Principles, they have allowed
anti-Semitism, anti- LBGTQIA sentiment and hateful, racist rhetoric to become a part of
the platform by their refusal to separate themselves from groups that espouse these racist,
hateful beliefs. I call for the current Co-Chairs to step down and to let others lead who
can restore faith in the Movement and its original intent.”

Sarsour and her colleagues resigned from the Women’s March in September 2019.
Sarsour also appears to have a close relationship with a convicted Hamas operative named Salah
Sarsour, who apparently is unrelated to her. He is a member of the Hamas-linked American
Muslims for Palestine’s National Board. Their friendship was noticed in December 2016 when a
photo was posted of them together at a conference in Chicago that was held by two Islamist
groups with links to the Muslim Brotherhood and histories of extremism.

The Arab American Association of New York

Sarsour was the Executive Director of the Arab American Association of New York (AAANY)
from 2005 to 2017.

It was revealed in 2013 that AAANY was the target of one of about a dozen “terrorism enterprise
investigations” by the New York Police Department. Such investigations require credible
evidence that two or more individuals associated with an organization are conspiring to commit a
violent crime, such as material support for terrorism.

The founder and President of AAANY, Ahmad Jaber, used to lead the Islamic Mission of
America, also known as Dawood Mosque, which a terrorism enterprise investigation was also
authorized against. The mosque is the birthplace of the militant Islamist group Dar Ul-Islam and
it is where prominent extremist cleric Khalid Yasin converted to Islam. He spoke at the mosque
in 2005 despite his open anti-American and anti-Semitic extremism.

One of the Gold Sponsors of AAANY’s 2013 fundraiser was Qatar Foundation International, a
U.S.-based component of the Qatar Foundation. Both Qatar Foundations’ promotion of pro-
terrorism extremism and anti-Semitism is well-documented. The Qatar Foundation is a registered
foreign agent of the Qatari government, which is known for sponsoring terrorist groups,
particularly Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and waging massive political influence
operations in the West.

The Foundation even launched a research center named after Muslim Brotherhood spiritual
leader and Hamas financier Yousef al-Qaradawi in 2008. He preaches that Hitler carried out
Allah’s judgment upon the Jews and that Muslims should carry out the next “divine punishment”
of Jews.

Support for the Destruction of Israel

Although Sarsour has made remarks that appear to indicate an acceptance of Israel’s right to
exist, she has repeatedly said she supports a “one state solution,” a term that refers to the
destruction of Israel based on a vote where Jews and supporters of Israel are in the minority.

She’s been criticized by extremists for allegedly accepting the permanent existence of the state of
Israel. In 2006, Sarsour said, “Israel is there, and it is going to be there whether we like it or not.
We have to learn to deal with that.”

In 2011, she confusingly expressed her position as believing that a two-state solution is
impossible but “I do believe that Israel has the right to exist. I mean I wouldn't want — I mean
where are they gonna go? That's why I want a one-state solution. I think we can all live together
in one state with peace and justice and equality for all."

Advocates for eliminating Israel often propose a “one state solution” where the population votes
on the country’s existence because Jews would be a minority and therefore lose the vote. The
result would be the dissolution of Israel and its replacement by a state of Palestine.

In May 2013, she answered a question about her stance on a two-state solution with, “I believe in
a one state solution. One nation 4 all.”

“Are there still people out there who actually think a two-state solution is viable? SMH at
whoever they are,” she said in 2014.

She reiterated her position in 2017, saying “My hope is that it will be one state, one man one
vote, that everyone is treated equally. Then you can say that part of the world is a true
democracy.”

In September 2018, she said, “I am an unapologetic pro-BDS, one-state solution supporting

resistance supporter here in the U.S.,” referring to the terrorist-linked Boycott, Divestment and
Sanctions campaign against Israel.

Demonizing the U.S.

She demonizes the U.S. using conspiracy theories to consistently depict the U.S. as malicious
and its adversaries as its victims and the terrorist threat as massively exaggerated or fabricated by
the U.S. government as an excuse to persecute Muslims.
Sarsour depicts Muslim life in the U.S. as so horrific that it even surpasses the cruelty of slavery.
She said at the joint convention of the Muslim American Society and the Islamic Circle of North
America in 2016, “The sacrifice the black Muslim slaves went through in this country is nothing
compared to Islamophobia today.”

She teaches audiences that the police are imprisoning Muslims simply for attending mosques.
She wrote, The value of Arab life—whether nameless Palestinian children bombed by American-
funded fighter jets or American youth profile, questioned and incarcerated for frequenting a
particular mosque—is spiraling downwards rapidly in the U.S. and at a more accelerated rate in
the Arab World.”

Sarsour promotes anti-American sentiment by dismissing the notion of U.S. foreign policy being
motivated by any amount of good intention or genuine concerns about security.

She promoted a protest by the pro-Hamas groups ANSWER Coalition, Palestinian Youth
Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the Chinese Communist Party-linked
People's Forum to “Stop the US Bombing of Yemen” in January 2024.

The language of Sarsour’s post falsely suggested that the U.S. was unjustifiably targeting Yemen
as a country. In reality, the U.S. had conducted targeted airstrikes on specific Houthi terrorist
targets because the Iran-backed group was attacking shipping vessels in the Red Sea to damage
the global economy and firing missiles into Israel in support of Hamas.

She tweeted on August 16, 2021, “US foreign policy, especially in the Middle East, has never
been based on human rights. It’s rooted in greed, power and oil. To say otherwise, is a bold-faced
lie. Our foreign policy has decimated nations, killed countless civilians, & left people vulnerable
to more horror.”

She uses her influence to spread the belief that terrorist plots and radicalizations are false flag
operations by the police and federal government.

Sarsour said, “We believe that the NYPD informants actually manufacture these cases so they
can justify the funding that comes to the NYPD.” She also congratulated herself for supposedly
knowing that Al-Qaeda’s underwear bomb plot to destroy an American airliner in 2009.

“Underwear bomber was the #CIA all along. Why did I already know that?! Shame on us -
scaring the American people,” she tweeted in 2012.
 Sarsour expresses contempt for the U.S. government but talks about theocratic Sharia-based
government positively. She touted Sharia Law in 2015 interest-free loans and said in 2011 that
“shariah law is reasonable” and “makes a lot of sense.”

National Lawyers Guild’s National Immigration Project

The U.S.-based National Lawyers Guild (NLG) has a strong linkage to the PFLP terrorist group
through Charlotte Kates, who is simultaneously a "part-time organizer" for NLG and the
international coordinator for PFLP front group Samidoun.

The U.S. and Canadian governments designated Samidoun as a terrorist entity, describing it as a
“a sham charity that serves as an international fundraiser” for PFLP. Her husband, Khaled
Barakat, is a known senior PFLP operative.

She and her husband held an event with Columbia University Apartheid Divest as representatives
of Samidoun. Within Our Lifetime also helped put it together. Her terrorist husband addressed
the students and she told them, “There is nothing wrong with being a fighter in Hamas.”
 NLG is undoubtedly aware of her connection to Samidoun because it is mentioned on its
website.

The NLG’s statement on October 8 defended the Hamas-led attacks saying that Palestinians have
the legal grounding to “use all available means, including armed struggle.”

It then went shockingly further by saying, “We call for all Palestinian and Lebanese resistance
organizations to be removed from the U.S. list of ‘Foreign Terrorist Organizations’ and
‘Specially Designated Global Terrorists.’” It said they don’t belong on those lists because “they
are engaged in exercising their fundamental and protected right to self-defense and to liberate
their land and people from occupation and colonialism.”

Removing groups like Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah from the lists of foreign
terrorists would mean they could freely operate in the U.S. because it’d be legal for them to
organize, fundraise and receive material support from Americans. Their popularity would
skyrocket as they are granted political legitimacy. Counter-terrorism investigations can only be
started with firm evidence of criminal activity or criminal intent, so the ability to monitor them
and curtail any activities that cross a legal threshold would be crushed. Their terrorist operations
and murdering of innocents would reach new heights and NLG understands that.

It condemned the U.S. in particularly harsh terms, asserting that “The U.S. ruling elite has shown
its blatant hypocrisy and morally unfathomable racist and imperialist agenda by unconditionally
and continuously supporting Israeli violence and oppression against Palestinians on a permanent
basis, and then expressing outrage at any Palestinian resistance.”

NLG also signed a declaration of the Committee of Anti-Imperialists in Solidarity with Iran that
backs Iran’s direct attack on Israel and explicitly chooses the side of the Iran-led “Axis of
Resistance” consisting of the government of Syria, Iran-backed Palestinian terrorist groups
including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, the Yemen-based Houthis and Iran-
backed militias in Iraq who are trying to kill U.S. troops. It also sides with Russia by denouncing
the “US and NATO proxy war in Ukraine.”

It brags, “The US no longer has control over West Asia. Put simply, the days of the US
subjugating the nations of the region are over. This is owed to the steadfastness of Palestinian
resistance and the growing deterrence capabilities developed by the Axis of Resistance from
Palestine to Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.”

Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy

The Ramallah-based Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy (PIPD) supports the October 7,
2023 terrorist attacks on Israel and helps terrorism-linked non-profits fundraise. PIPD’s 2025
New Years resolution is to “end the Zionist colonial regime.”

PIPD reacted to the October 7, 2023 atrocities by defending them on its website and justifying
them on its Instagram page for its digital platform named Rabet. The group said Palestinians
have a “right to resist by all means possible” and summarized the October 7 atrocities as follows:

“On 7 October 2023 Palestinian resistance launched a major and unprecedented

operation against its occupier – the Israeli settler-colonial apartheid regime. This action
challenges the narrative that Israel is invincible and shows clearly that Palestinians are
still resisting, despite seven decades of ongoing ethnic cleansing and atrocities.”

PIPD urges its audience, which includes over 65,000 followers on Instagram, to donate to three
non-profit organizations active in Gaza:

• Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, based in the U.S. and Ramallah, which has very close
ties to Hamas;

• The U.S.-based, pro-Hamas Middle East Children's Alliance, which lists Stop the Wall as
a "partner." STW is allegedly linked to the PFLP terrorist group and openly endorses the
October 7 attacks;

• The U.K.-based Medical Aid for Palestinians, which has documented PFLP ties, funds
entities affiliated with PFLP and Hamas, and has been reprimanded by the British
government for using funds to incite extremism.

PIPD’s website says it is a “myth” that Israel has the right to defend itself, referring to Israeli
counter-terrorism operations. It says that the justification of self-defense is a falsehood utilized
by those motivated by bigotry, hatred and a desire for genocide.

Its Instagram page whitewashes Hamas, denying that the terrorist group uses civilians as human
shields, utilizes hospitals as bases, that mass rape was committed during the October 7 attacks
and that Hamas is stealing humanitarian aid from suffering Gazans.

PIPD says that Palestinians’ war with Israel is a subset of their overarching war with the U.S.,
claiming that Israel is part of the “colonial forces sponsored by the United States” who are
“determined to commit the genocide to advance its colonial project in Palestine and the region.”

The organization’s goal is not just the destruction of Israel. It pledges to “stand mobilized until
all war criminals are brought to justice and all financial, material and institutional structures
sustaining zionist settler colonialism are dismantled.” It also vows to “end the complicity of all
 financial, political and material interests linking to Zionist colonial interests, advocating for arms
and energy embargoes, and sanctions.”

The group’s recommended resources page promotes extremist websites, organizations and
materials that support terrorism, call for the destruction of Israel, engage in anti-Semitism and
demonize the U.S. and the West more broadly.

The page suggests various pro-terrorism non-profit organizations named in this report and other
Capital Research Center exposes of extremist non-profits. The list of PIPD-endorsed groups
includes 7amleh, Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network, Adalah Justice Project, Al-Haq,

Palestinian Center for Policy Research and Strategic Studies (also known as Masarat)

The Palestinian Center for Policy Research and Strategic Studies, also known as Masarat, is a
pro-terrorism organization based in Gaza and Ramallah that has links to the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Marxist-Leninist terrorist group allied with Hamas and backed
by the Iranian theocracy.

Masarat’s Director General, Hani Al-Masri was or is a member of the PFLP terrorist group.
There’s no known evidence that he has renounced his membership in PFLP or condemned the
group.

In 2022, Al-Masri applauded the Lion’s Den and Jenin Brigades terrorist groups, writing that
“the rise of these new resistance groups, which combine armed and popular struggle, may prove
to be more successful than previous strategies.”

In 2017, he pushed opponents of Israel to stop President Trump’s movement of the U.S. Embassy
to Jerusalem by threatening an “eruption of an intifada that will be much bigger than its
predecessors” and “the pursuit of a new multi-dimensional strategy whose cornerstone will be
steadfastness and resistance in the land of Palestine.”

Masarat’s website expressed its anger in 2016 when it was reported that the Palestinian Authority
had severed funding to PFLP and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, another
Marxism-inspired terrorist group.
 In 2015, Al-Masri urged the abandonment of peace negotiations with Israel and to instead focus
on “development and expansion of the comprehensive national resistance in its various
forms…The Palestinians must resist – sometimes they can use, sometimes they need to use
military.”
Al-Masri is a Policy Member of Al-Shabaka, a U.S.-based non-profit registered in California as
the Middle East Policy Network. The organization expressed support for the Hamas-led October
7, 2023 terrorist attacks on Israel that PFLP also participated in.

Al-Masri is also on the board of trustees of the Yasser Arafat Foundation. Arafat is the deceased
President of the Palestinian Authority and leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization. He
had a long history of involvement in terrorism and anti-Semitism.

According to NGO Monitor, Masarat “does not publish financial information, reflecting a lack of
transparency.”

$200,000 2017 to support Masarat in scaling-up its public policy training program targeting youth from the
West Bank and Gaza, which is designed to build a cadre of highly qualified policy researchers
and practitioners, in order to strengthen the resilience and effectiveness of civil society actors

Palestinian Performing Arts Network

The Ramallah-based Palestinian Performing Arts Network (PPAN) endorsed the Hamas-led
terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023 on Instagram and declared itself to be an “extension” of
Hamas’s “resistance.”

PPAN is a coalition of at least 13 Palestinian organizations, many of which have strong ties to
terrorist activities and promotion of hate and violence.

PPAN’s first post after the attacks said in the description box, “Resistance in all its forms is a
right to the Palestinians who have been living under an apartheid regime for 75 years.” The post
image said:
“Resistance is a right. As workers and activists in the cultural field, we declare in this
statement our full and unconditional support for the Palestinian resistance in Gaza and
throughout historic Palestine to defeat colonialism and liberate both the people and the
land from the river to the sea. We are nothing but an extension of this struggle…

…In this historical and crucial moment in our struggle, the Palestinian resistance carries
the torch of hope for the freedom of nations.”

A January 6, 2024 post said that Israel had detained several PPAN members for between six and
sixteen months, including Sharaf Abu Bakr, Director of Naqsh for Popular Art Troupe; Bilal Al-
 Sa’di, Chairman of the Freedom Theatre; Mohamad Abu Sakha, coordinator at the Palestinian
Circus School; Mustafa Sheta, Director of the Freedom Theatre.

Freedom Theatre’s senior leadership includes known members of the PFLP and Al-Aqsa Martyrs
Brigade terrorist groups and puts on pro-terrorism performances. At least one Palestinian Circus
School trainer and performer was arrested in 2015 for involvement with PFLP.

Sadaqa

The Jordan-based Sadaqa, also known as the Friendship Foundation, reacted to the Hamas-led
terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023 by endorsing the Palestinians’ “right to resist” and declining
to express any disapproval of the attacks.

The October 22, 2023 post said:

“The Palestinian cause is an integral part of the feminist struggle; the struggle to achieve
women’s rights and achieve social justice in our region will not be achieved without the
struggle against colonialism and the occupation of Palestine…

We call upon our partners from the international community to demand their
governments to support the right of Palestinians for self-determination, the right to resist,
and the right of return by taking meaningful measures to end Israeli occupation and stop
the Israeli atrocities in Palestine…

The time to end apartheid is now. The time to end the occupation is now. The time to end
colonialization is now.”

Sunrise
Sunrise, also known as Sunrise Movement, is primarily focused on environmentalism but also
helps build financial and popular support for anarchist terrorists, wishes for Israel’s destruction,
has some pro-Hamas chapters, seeks the abolishment of police and prisons and condemns
tourism to Hawaii as “colonization.”
The group has a 501c4 non-profit advocacy organization in its name, as well as a 501c3 non-
profit named Sunrise Movement Education Fund, registered under the name of U.S. Climate Plan
Inc.

North American and European affiliates of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a
Marxist-Leninist terrorist group allied with Hamas and backed by the Iranian theocracy,
organized a coalition in June 2024 to express solidarity with the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in
Yemen and root for them and other Iran-backed terrorists to defeat the U.S., Israel and their
allies.
Sunrise temporarily appeared on the coalition’s list of members. It is unclear why it no longer
appears.
The pro-Houthi coalition’s joint statement declared members’ support for the Iranian regime and
its network of terrorists and militias. It falsely described airstrikes on Houthi targets intended to
impede the group’s ongoing attacks on international shipping as a “massacre.” The text included
the following treasonous endorsement of those fighting the U.S. and the West:

“We also stand behind the heroic Yemeni armed forces and their legitimate, natural right
to respond to aggression…. U.S. and British colonial forces and their agents in the region.
They will not be intimidated by the recent U.S.-British massacre on May 31, 2024,… The
criminal camp of U.S.-British-Zionist aggression and their agents in the region will be
defeated…

Victory for the Palestinian and Yemeni peoples and for the resistance camp in Palestine,
Lebanon and Iraq.”

The term “resistance camp” is referring to Hamas, PFLP, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah
and the Iranian proxies in Iraq that frequently target Americans.

At least two Sunrise chapters have expressed support for Hamas and its atrocities on October 7,
2023.

The Pittsburgh and New Orleans chapters are official supporters of the Coalition to March on the
DNC, which was an alliance that included over 150 extremist groups and endorsed the Hamas-
led atrocities on October 7, 2023. The Coalition also expresses solidarity with the governments
of Russia and China, depicting them as victims of Western aggression.

There is no evidence that the Sunrise chapters withdrew or regret their membership or that the
national leadership of Sunrise expressed its disapproval for the chapters’ actions.
In October 2021, Sunrise announced it would withdraw from a rally promoting statehood for
Washington D.C. because of the involvement of three Jewish organizations that agree with
Zionism, the belief that Israel has a right to exist. It asked not to be invited to future coalitions
that include Zionists.

The statement referred to Israel as a “colonial project” whose existence is a violation of “racial
justice, self-governance, and indigenous sovereignty.” Sunrise further condemned those who
agree with Israeli military and law enforcement counter-terrorism operations while not voicing a
word against Palestinian terrorism and violence.

Even though the fundamental purpose of Zionism is Jewish statehood and sovereignty, Sunrise
said that standing for Israel’s right to exist is a violation of social justice beliefs in statehood and
sovereignty:

“We stand with the people of Palestine and not with those who defend Israeli violence
against them. We also believe that the fight for statehood and sovereignty are
incompatible with Zionism and the political erasure of Palestinians that the ideology calls
for.”

In April 2023, Sunrise posted, “We continue to stand in solidarity with the forest defenders
fighting to stop Cop City.”

The term “forest defenders” refers to militant protestors who were attempting to physically
prevent the construction of an 85-acre Atlanta Public Safety Training Center for police and
firefighters. It is derided by opponents as “Cop City.” Most of the protestors are anarchists who
have adopted the Antifa (meaning “anti-fascist”) label.

The project was announced in 2021 by the Democratic Mayor of Atlanta, Keisha Lance Bottoms,
who emphasized that it would include enhanced facilities to “learn de-escalation and harm
reduction techniques that reduce the use of force.” The condition of current training facilities was
described as "deplorable."

Over 40 of the anarchists are being prosecuted on domestic terrorism charges as of February
2024 and over 60 were indicted in August 2023 on racketeering charges. Among those accused
of being terrorists is Thomas Jurgens, one of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s attorneys.

The terrorist campaign receives significant funding from communist Fergie Chambers, who
derives his wealth from his billionaire family. He said in 2024 that he had donated “a couple
million dollars” to Stop Cop City. He admires Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, talks positively
about the Hamas-led October 7 terrorist attacks and believes “the most important thing for the
prosperity of humanity is the destruction of the US.”

Sunrise also urged its audience “to support the fight donate to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund,”
(ASF) which is an initiative of the Network for Strong Communities.
ASF posts bail and provides legal defenses for the arrested protestors. Prosecutors alleged that it
provided funds for ammunition, surveillance equipment, handheld radios, a drone and an array of
camping supplies for Stop Cop City terrorist activities. Three ASF leaders are facing racketeering
charges but money laundering charges were dropped.

According to the indictments, the Stop Cop City terrorists mocked the September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks by putting a sign labeled “9/11 Memorial” above a crude toilet at their campsite.

A coalition of extremists called Defend the Atlanta Forest are engaging in arson, property
damage and violence against law enforcement personnel and utility workers to try to stop the
facility’s construction. Attacks include setting a police vehicle ablaze, throwing Molotov
cocktails, bricks and rocks at police, setting construction equipment on fire, blocking roads with
obstacles like tires, harming police officers’ eyes with lasers, and targeting the building that
houses the Atlanta Police Foundation with fireworks.

However, Sunrise claims that one of its principles is, “We oppose state violence with nonviolent
action.” It says “We, as Sunrise, will not win by confronting their violence with violent actions.
We combat their violence by boldly organizing our communities across race and class.”

It is important to observe that the statement does not reject violence and only says that Sunrise as
an organization will not engage in violence. It does not take against other groups’ violence or
rule out Sunrise’s backing for others’ violence.

Sunrise supports defunding and abolishing the police and prisons.

It held a four-day course in July 2020 to teach activists “how to turn the mandate to ‘Defund the
Police’ action. The course was a joint project with other groups including the pro-terrorism
extremist groups Critical Resistance, Dream Defenders, and Mijente. The flyer said, “Envision
what a world without police could look like.”

Sunrise is favorable towards the Chinese Communist Party-run government of China.

In July 2021, Sunrise signed a joint letter that accused the Biden Administration of promoting
anti-Chinese bigotry and “racist, right-wing movements.” It claimed that cooperation between
the U.S. and China on climate change was being undermined by the U.S.’s “dominant
antagonistic” and “growing Cold War mentality driving the United States’ approach to China.”

Sunrise caved to Chinese Communist Party loyalists in June 2021 and cancelled a speaking
engagement with an anti-CCP activist from Hong Kong. The campaign to get the event cancelled
appears to the product of a broader influence operation launched by the Chinese government.

Sunrise condemned tourism to Hawaii in May 2022 and expressed its desire to see the state
secede from the U.S. It said:

“Tourism on stolen land is just another form of colonization. Hawaii was illegally
overthrown so that wealthy white people, like, Sanford B Dole, and the US government
 could use Hawaiian land as their own…These actions began the centuries long
occupation of Hawaii that still lives on today.”

Takatoat

The organization signed a "Feminist Manifesto" after the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks
pledging to “unequivocally stand behind all forms of Palestinian resistance” including “armed
resistance” and “reject any stigmatization [sic] or skepticism [sic] of this resistance as anything
other than an anticolonial liberation struggle” that will eliminate the state of Israel.

The manifesto condemns “liberal/white feminism” for its “attempt to construct a single mode of
feminism: the feminism of the white bodies in the metropoles (Europe and North America). It is
a form of feminism constricted to a so-called ‘human rights’ framework created by colonial
powers and employed in the sustenance of their interests.”

Visualizing Palestine / Visualizing Impact

The North America-based Visualizing Impact (VI) is an alternate name for Visualizing Palestine,
a group that was started by supporters of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group and
endorsed the Hamas-led atrocities on October 7, 2023 that Palestinian Islamic Jihad participated
in.

An investigation into VI in February 2025 discovered that it is headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon,

with offices in Amman, Jordan and Ramallah in the Palestinian-majority areas of Judea and
Samaria (commonly referred to as the West Bank). It found that VI used a Lebanese bank
account to receive grants from OSF from 2015 to 2018.

VI has also jointly published propaganda with the Palestinian organization Al-Haq, which Israel
has designated as a terrorist entity because of extensive evidence exposing it as a front for the
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist group.
 It also found overlapping leadership between VI and the pro-terrorism groups Al-Shabaka and
Palestinian Youth Movement that endorsed the October 7, 2023 atrocities:

• Executive Director Aline Batarseh is a member of Al-Shabaka’s Board of Directors and

Jordanian citizen from East Jerusalem based in Washington, D.C..
• Ahmad Barclay, listed as a VI “partner,” is an Al-Shabaka member based in Beirut.
• VI’s Information Designer, Nasreen Abd Elal, is a member of the Palestinian Youth
Movement in New York.

The investigation raises serious concerns about possible violations of the Foreign Agent
Registration Act, laws governing tax-exempt non-profit organizations, and potentially material
support for designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

VI’s website states that its first action upon launching in 2012 was publishing an infographic
about Khaled Adnan, describing him as a “Palestinian political prisoner.” Adnan was a
spokesman for Palestinian Islamic Jihad and influential promoter of terrorism. VI claims that the
purpose of its graphic was “uplifting Palestinian civil resistance.”

The group exalted him as a “political prisoner” who used “civil disobedience” to “challenge
unjust systems of incarceration” when he died from a hunger strike in 2023.

Its Instagram post following the October 7 attacks said in its description box:

“Palestinian resistance fighters broke through Israel's 16-year blockade on Gaza, taking
control of several Israeli military posts and towns… The scale and coordination of this
event is unprecedented, but it is a resurgence in Palestinian armed resistance.”

The message in the image said, “Occupation never lasts. Decolonization is the only path toward
collective liberation, and it will take all of us to turn the tide of oppression toward justice.”

VI’s list of partners it has worked with includes at least 20 terrorism-linked and pro-terrorism
organizations known to Capital Research Center.

Visualizing Impact is fiscally sponsored by Empowerment Works.

Voces de la Frontera

The U.S.-based Voces de la Frontera, an immigrant rights organization, is a member of the pro-
Hamas Wisconsin Coalition for Justice in Palestine and was an official supporter of the pro-
Hamas Coalition to March on the DNC in 2024.
 The Wisconsin Coalition for Justice in Palestine issued a statement after the October 7, 2023
terrorist attacks saying it would “counter [the] false narrative about Israel’s war on Gaza” that
Hamas is a terrorist group and the October 7 atrocities qualify as terrorist attacks. The coalition
described the terrorism as legitimate “resistance.”
The Coalition to March on the DNC in 2024 was an alliance that included over 150 extremist
groups and endorsed the Hamas-led atrocities on October 7, 2023. The Coalition also expresses
solidarity with the governments of Russia and China, depicting them as victims of Western
aggression.

Women's Center for Legal Assistance and Counseling (also known as the Women’s Centre
for Legal Aid and Counseling)

The West Bank-based Palestinian organization Women’s Center for Legal Assistance and
Counseling (WCLAC) has strong ties to terrorism-linked entities.

According to NGO Monitor, the General Director of WCLAC, Randa Siniora, used to be the
General Director of Al-Haq, which the Israeli government designated as a terrorist organization
in 2022 for being a front for the PFLP terrorist group.

Siniora has also spoken in support of terrorism. She said in 2003, “Although resistance against
occupation and its arbitrary practices is legitimate under international law, and these acts are
considered a part of the Palestinian people’s resistance and struggle against occupation in order
to achieve their right to liberation and independence, the occupation forces call it ‘terrorism’ or
‘destructive acts.’”

An overwhelming amount of publicly-available evidence substantiates Israel’s accusations. Al-

Haq publicly supported the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks.

WCLAC is granted funding from the European Union to implement projects in collaboration
with terrorism-linked organizations like the Palestinian Medical Relief Society and the
Palestinian Agricultural Development Association.

WCLAC is also a member of the Palestinian NGO Network, a coalition with strong ties to
terrorist organizations, particularly PFLP. The group also joined an international pressure
campaign in defense of six PFLP-affiliated human rights organizations shut down by Israel for
terrorist activities.
 WCLAC is also an endorser of the terrorism-linked campaign “A World Without Walls.” It is
essentially against all borders, but focuses almost exclusively on pushing for the dismantlement
of any security barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border and the removal of Israel’s controversial
security barrier that is often derided as an “apartheid wall” by critics. The coalition condemns
“US racist and exclusivist migration policies that stop the people from crossing borders.”
