Activities

• Refers to US-funded “atrocities” in “our homeland” and demands the US “end all aid to Israel, diplomatic, economic, military… to this apartheid, racist state.”
• Seeks to “place AIPAC and the neo-cons squarely in the camp of the warmongers… [and] halt billions of dollars of military aid.”
• Rejects “futile negotiations,” which “present a threat to Palestinian rights, including the right of return, and that the Palestinian Authority leadership has not represented the Palestinian people, especially the seven million Palestinians living in exile and throughout the diaspora.”

Campaigning for Terrorists

• WESPAC is a campaign supporter for the Campaign to Free Ahmad Saadat. Saadat, the PFLP’s Secretary-General, was sentenced to thirty years in prison for heading an “illegal terrorist organization,” as well as for his involvement in planning many of the group’s attacks including the assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze’evi.
• In October 2018, WESPAC demanded the release of Khalida Jarrar and “pledge[d] to struggle for justice through protests, actions, organizing and escalating boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) actions against Israel, in Khalida’s own spirit of resistance.”
  • Khalida Jarrar served as vice-chairperson of the PFLP-affiliated NGO Addameer, until 2017. Jarrar was arrested on October 31, 2019 on suspicions of “involvement in terror activity.” On December 18, 2019, it was revealed that Jarrar had “emerged as the head of the PFLP in the West Bank and responsible for all the organization’s activities” (emphasis added). In January 2025, Jarrar was released as part of the exchange to free Israeli hostages held in Gaza

Legal Challenges

• In January 2025, WESPAC and its then fiscally sponsored project Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) were named as defendants in a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia concerning the February 1, 2024 blockade of several intersections leading into Washington, D.C. According to the law firm that brought the suit, “Unlawful traffic blockades that trap innocent citizens in their cars are not a form of protest-they are acts of aggression. We are determined to hold accountable those who use intimidation and obstruction to push their agenda, and we will fight to protect the rights of Americans who were unjustly targeted by these disruptive, antisemitic actions.”
  • According to the lawsuit, “WESPAC was required to maintain ‘control and discretion’ over PYM…WESPAC acted tortiously by breaching its duty under federal law to exercise such control and discretion and is liable for its negligent or reckless supervision of PYM for PYM’s tortious acts.” (See more on PYM below.)
• In September 2024, the House Ways and Means Committee asked the IRS to revoke the tax-exempt status of multiple nonprofits, including WESPAC, for sowing “chaos and discord in our society” during anti-Israel protests on college campuses. According to the Congressional correspondence, “Based on the multiple instances in which the WESPAC Foundation’s fiscally sponsored projects have led protests that led to arrests due to violations of local ordinances, it is our belief that the WESPAC Foundation does not qualify for tax-exemption under section 501(c)(3).”
• In May 2025, the Zachor Legal Institute urged the IRS to “begin an investigation to review the tax-exempt status” of WESPAC over its fiscal sponsorship of Within Our Lifetime, a “violent, radical, and anti-Israel organization.”
• In September 2024, WESPAC was named as a defendant in a lawsuit concerning the April 15, 2024 blockade of the main entrance into O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, which “snarled traffic for three hours and trapped innocent travelers in their cars.”
  • Following the lawsuit, in February 2025, WESPAC’s insurer, the Alliance of Nonprofits for Insurance Risk Retention Group, filed a separate lawsuit asserting that it is not responsible for covering WESPAC’s legal defense costs as the insurance policy does not cover damages caused by a riot, unlawful assembly, or mob action. It further claimed that WESPAC entered into a fiscal sponsorship agreement with National Students for Justice in Palestine without notifying the insurer or paying additional fees for the agreement.
• In July 2024, victims of the October 7 attacks, including survivors and bereaved relatives, filed a lawsuit at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against WESPAC, American Muslims for Palestine, and National Students for Justice in Palestine, claiming, “Defendants are Hamas’s propaganda and recruiting arm in the United States; they fulfilled their purpose and answered Hamas’s call to action.” According to the lawsuit, “as the fiscal sponsor of NSJP, WESPAC is responsible for how NSJP utilizes the funds it receives from WESPAC—which includes ensuring that the funds are used for charitable purposes…The clumsiness of WESPAC’s financial reporting is not the function of being a novice…Rather, it obfuscates the true nature of its finances and where they ultimately go.”
• In July 2024, following a protest in California outside a Synagogue, a federal lawsuit was filed against protest organizers, WESPAC, Honor the Earth, CODEPINK, and Palestinian Youth Movement,, alleging that the protest “violated federal law barring people from obstructing access to religious institutions.”

Political Advocacy

• WESPAC rhetoric includes accusing Israel of “apartheid,” “ethnic cleansing,” “collective punishment,” and “war crimes,” as well as supporting a Palestinian “right of return.”
• In May 2025, following the murder of two employees of the Israeli embassy in Washington DC, WESPAC published a statement: “The struggle for a free Palestine is about ending the violence of occupation, apartheid and genocide, not about the killing of more innocents. Violence only begets more violence. We are heartbroken that two people lost their lives; we grieve for them and their families over their senseless death. In Gaza, entire families are being wiped out.”
• In May 2025, WESPAC called for people to “fast for 40 days. 250 calories/day to approximate what people in Gaza have” to demand a “Stop [to[ all U.S. weapons to Israel.”
• In March 2025, WESPAC board chair Howard Horwitz penned a letter to the Jewish community of Westchester, “WESPAC wholeheartedly embraces and welcomes members of the Jewish community to find comfort with us and to re-claim their heritage from those who insist that Zionism, as we see it practiced today, is an inherent part of Jewish identity, and who attempt to discredit, intimidate, and silence those who disagree. I call on the ADL, Hillel and any other organization that claims to speak on behalf of Jews or Jewish students to stop using Jews and stop using accusations of anti-Semitism as a shield behind which to target Palestinians and those who speak up against the crimes being perpetrated by Israel with full US support…Now, more than ever, the safety and continuity of the Jewish people depends on the liberation of Palestine.”
• In February 2024, WESPAC held a webinar on the International Court of Justice, discussing how “As the world watches the bombings of homes and hospitals, killing mostly children and women, the murder of healthcare and aid workers and media, and the denial of basic necessities to Gazans, civil society has risen in solidarity with Palestine with major demonstrations, efforts to blockade weapons and other supplies to Israel and legal cases to stop the genocide and hold individuals accountable. One expression of this resistance is a new International Coalition to Stop Genocide in Palestine, which supports the South African Case in the International Court of Justice against Israel for Genocide.”
• In February 2024, Horwitz claimed, “My Zionist beliefs were shattered by the historical facts. The partition plan robbed the Palestinian population of their homes, livelihoods, and land. This was the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians, the invasion and burning of 500 villages, and the denial of the Palestinian right of return. These facts cannot and will not be erased from history any more than Holocaust denial can erase the Holocaust….October 7 was horrible and emotionally devastating. Even as I am horrified by the atrocities committed by Hamas, I believe it is important to understand why these Palestinian fighters broke out from the ghetto wall. My outrage at Hamas’s atrocities quickly gave way to my outrage as Israel announced and began the ongoing implementation of genocide involving forced death marches and indiscriminate bombing and killing of over 27,000 Gazans, the vast majority women, and children…This is the liquidation of the ghetto called Gaza, a complete atrocity. There is no other way to look at what is happening at this very moment.”
• In October 2023, in the aftermath of the brutal Hamas attack on October 7, WESPAC published a statement claiming, “The attack from Gaza has a context. It follows months and years of constant violence, pogroms, expulsions and other manifestations of apartheid inflicted on Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem. We do not condone attacks on civilians or violence of any kind. We do recognize its root causes in oppression, injustice and apartheid. We support without reservation all nonviolent resistance to apartheid and we refuse to be labeled as anti-Semitic for opposing Israel’s apartheid policies of supremacy and separation” (emphasis added).
• In October 2023, WESPAC Board Chair Howard Horowitz claimed, “Even as I am horrified by the atrocities committed by Hamas, I believe it is important to understand why these Palestinian fighters broke out from the ghetto wall. My outrage at Hamas’s atrocities quickly gave way to my outrage as Israel announced and began the ongoing implementation of genocide.”
• In June 2023, WESPAC, alongside 80 North American NGOs, launched the Apartheid Free Communities Initiative to “encourage our faith communities and all communities of conscience to step away from any and all support to Israeli apartheid, occupation, and settler colonialism.”
• In August 2022, WESPAC was a signatory on a letter to President Biden condemning the decision by the Israeli Ministry to designate six Palestinian NGOs as terrorist organizations. According to the letter, “The targeted organizations form part of the bedrock of Palestinian civil society that has been protecting and advancing Palestinian human rights for decades across the full spectrum of issues of global concern.” The letter also called to “Suspend U.S. military funding to the Israeli government and cease any diplomatic efforts that enable systemic impunity for Israel’s gross violations of internationally-recognized human rights.”
• In February 2021, WESPAC signed a letter to Dr. Anthony Fauci to “Demand the right to healthcare for the Palestinian people” and “End Medical Apartheid.”
• In June 2020, WESPAC was a signatory on a letter to presidential candidate Biden calling for “conditioning U.S. military funding to Israel on an end to Israeli violations of Palestinian human rights” as well as “support for H.R. 2407, the “Promoting Human Rights for Palestinian Children Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act,” sponsored by Representative Betty McCollum, to ensure that no U.S. dollars contribute to Israel’s a military detention, interrogation, abuse and/or other ill-treatment of Palestinian children.”
  • In May 2021, WESPAC endorsed US Congresswoman McCollum’s proposed legislation meant to advance BDS and demonization of Israeli companies and defense forces. The entirety of the proposed bill is premised on factually inaccurate claims from anti-Israel advocacy NGOs, including direct quotes from Defense for Children International -Palestine’s “No Way to Treat a Child” 2016 report and website.
• In November 2019, WESPAC signed a letter to Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Fatou Bensouda, calling to open “an official, full-scale investigation into the ‘situation in Palestine’” and the “possible war crimes and crimes against humanity committed” as the “absence of an official investigation…has fuelled the already existing culture of impunity.”
• In November 2019, WESPAC was a signatory on a call to support “A World Without Walls,” a campaign started in 2017 that has drawn comparisons between “Israel’s apartheid wall on Palestinian land to the US wall of Shame on indigenous land at the border with Mexico.” According to the 2019 campaign, “Israeli apartheid is the ideological model for the rising right, which in turn sustains Israeli occupation through growing military and trade ties.”
• Promotes a Palestinian narrative of victimhood, claiming that“military occupation is a cause of violence and terrorism not vice versa.”
• WESPAC CEO Nada Khader was a panelist at an event at Pace University’s March 2015 “Israel Apartheid Week.” The goal of the panel was to “introduce SJP [Students for Justice in Palestine] to campus…There will be a strong focus on the non-violent Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaign.”
• Khader also participated in “Israel Apartheid Week” events at New York University (NYU) in 2010 in an event titled “The Indigenous Struggle: A Call for the Boycott of Israel,” where she compared Gaza to the Warsaw Ghetto: “How can I eat while my people are being bombed by this fascist militia that our tax dollars are supporting? This is the Warsaw ghetto all over again.”
• In 2014, Khader signed a call to “End the Gaza Massacre, Boycott Israel.” The statement condemned the “current acts of Israeli brutality, while also recognizing the deeply rooted and ongoing violence that Palestinians are forced to endure,” as well as condemning the “flagrant injustices of the current Israeli massacre against the Palestinians of Gaza.”
• Following the 2008 Gaza war, WESPAC published a statement calling for Israel to “immediately and unconditionally end its assault on Gaza, end the occupation of the West Bank, and abandon all claims to possess or control territory beyond its 1967 borders.” The statement supports the Palestinian “right to resist” as the “goal of this war has never changed: to use overwhelming military power to eradicate the Palestinians as a political force, one capable of resisting Israel’s ongoing appropriation of their land and resources.”
• In 2011, WESPAC endorsed a “Rally for Palestine and the Right of Return,” marching to the UN to demand “Sovereignty, Equality, and the Right of Return for Palestinians NOW!” The rally called for the “implementation of Right of Return for Palestinian refugees to their homeland, and for the UN and the associated global community to live up to their responsibilities.”
• In 2011, WESPAC created an anti-Israel billboard campaign calling to “End U.S military aid to Israel.”
• In 2010, WESPAC signed on a statement titled “Palestine is Not for Sale!” advocating the “right to resist occupation, the right to self-determination, and the right to return home.”
• In 2010, WESPAC declared their commitment to the Palestinian people by signing a statement titled, “Palestine is Not for Sale!” The statement called for “International isolation of Israel, boycott, divestment and sanctions, international prosecution of Israeli war criminals are necessary, as is clear support for our rights, including the right to resist occupation, the right to self-determination, and the right to return home.”
• In a speech given at Binghamton University in 2009, Khader stated, “They [the Palestinians] have not been allowed to live lives of dignity and that was the cause of the rockets [fired by Hamas on Israeli citizens] by the way.”

BDS Activities

• Participates in anti-Israeli BDS (Boycott, divestment and sanctions).
• WESPAC’s website discloses its support for BDS: “WESPAC supports the call by over 200 Palestinian civil society organizations for punitive measures including boycotts, divestment, and sanctions to be maintained until Israel meets its obligation to recognize the Palestinian People’s inalienable right to self-determination and fully complies with the precepts of international law.”
• Supports the pro-BDS “Palestine Freedom Project,” “dedicated to providing resources and logistical support to grassroots Palestine solidarity activists everywhere.”
• According to WESPAC, “Boycott/Divestment/Sanctions are appropriate and legitimate weapons to wage peace” and the NGO campaigns for boycotting and divesting from Caterpillar.
• WESPAC is named as a “fiscal sponsor” for Students in Justice in Palestine. It has provided funds for SJP members to travel to national SJP conferences, and SJP directs those interested in donating to its organization to send money to WESPAC.
  • WESPAC was the fiscal sponsor for the 2016 Students for Justice in Palestine conference titled, “Critical Mass: With Our Roots in Resistance, Forging a Just Future.” One of the goals of the conference was to “explore ways of working alongside and after BDS initiatives to capitalize on the diverse experiences and skills of our campus groups and to evolve as a movement.”
• In May 2023, WESPAC participated in the Not on Our Dime campaign that called on New York to end “funding of Israeli Settler Violence.” According to WESPAC, “New York State is complicit in violations of international law by subsidizing illegal Israeli settlements, and apartheid.” 
• In December 2021, WESPAC employee Andrew Courtney was a signatory on a petition calling on UN Member States “to bring to an end Israel’s annexation, apartheid regime and settler colonial enterprise, and to give no recognition or assistance, by adopting effective measures, including sanctions.”
• In May 2021, WESPAC participated in a “National March for Palestine” to “build support for …the effort to sanction Israel for violating these rights.”
• In October 2020, WESPAC was a signatory on a letter to Congress calling for the U.S. to “stop funding Israel’s military.”
• In 2019, WESPAC lobbied in support of the discriminatory UN database of businesses operating across the 1949 Armistice line, aimed at bolstering BDS campaigns against Israel.
• In January 2017, WESPAC was a signatory on a letter to the Batsheva Dance Company stating that “we urge you to take a stand against the Israeli government’s violations of Palestinian rights. Until you do so, we will not welcome you in our cities and we will support a boycott of your performances due to your collaboration with the Israeli state.”
• In July 2016, in response to New York State’s “executive order attacking the grassroots boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement for Palestinian rights,” Nada Khader stated that “we are appalled at Governor Cuomo’s blatant disregard for both freedom of speech and expression, and for silencing voices advocating for Palestinian human rights and freedoms through their support of BDS. Governor Cuomo’s unconstitutional action functions as part of a larger right wing and anti-democratic agenda in the United States to hinder support of the growing BDS movement. He should rescind his order immediately.”
• In May 2016, was a signatory to a letter to members of the New York Legislature, “urging lawmakers to oppose bills that would effectively create blacklists of individuals and entities that boycott companies based in Israel or the occupied Palestinian territory.”
• In September 2015, WESPAC was a signatory on a letter to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon urging the UN to “end its relationship with G4S” as “G4S is complicit with Israel’s human rights violations.”
• WESPAC Foundation signed a letter sent by Adalah-NY on March 5, 2015 calling on the Beacon Theatre in New York to “not co-sign the atrocities that the Israeli government is committing by hosting Israeli musician Idan Raichel.” Other signatories included Al-Awda New York, Students for Justice in Palestine, and CODEPINK NYC.
• In August 2014, Nada Khader was a signatory to a statement in solidarity with “Palestinian people of Gaza and with seekers of freedom and justice world-wide” urging support for the BDS movement and calling for “Israel to end its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantle the Wall.”
• In July 2014, WESPAC was an endorser for the “9th Anniversary of the 2005 Palestinian Call for BDS against Israel.” The event called on individuals to “Come out to mark 9 years of successful global boycott and divestment initiatives being carried out to end Israeli apartheid, occupation, and colonization.” Other endorsers included Jewish Voice for Peace and SJP.

Fiscally Sponsored Organizations

Due to backlash against WESPAC and its fiscally sponsored groups for their activities post-Oct 7th, almost all the NGOs have secured alternative fiscal sponsorships.

Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP)

• Various news outlets and legal documents discuss WESPAC’s  fiscal sponsorship for National Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). However, the donate page on SJP’s website has been nonfunctional for four years, so it remains unknown whether this relationship is ongoing.
• SJP is the campus organization most directly responsible for creating a hostile campus environment saturated with anti-Israel events, BDS initiatives, and speakers. Each SJP chapter operates independently and is responsible for forming its own constitutions, finding funding sources, and organizing activities. (Read NGO Monitor’s report “BDS on American Campuses: SJP and its NGO Network”)
• SJP has been suspended from multiple universities due to its violence and violation of campus policies.
• In May 2024, 16 Republican senators called on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to “investigate nonprofits that support National Students for Justice in Palestine…the agency should investigate whether, by directing funds to NSJP, the nonprofits are supporting terrorism, which would violate their tax-exempt status.”

Palestinian Youth Movement

• Until May 2024, Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) directed its donations through WESPAC – its stated fiscal sponsor. Following multiple lawsuits naming both PYM and WESPAC (see above), in June 2024 PYM began soliciting donations via Honor the Earth, which claims to be an “Indigenous-led organization fighting to dismantle settler-colonialism, racial capitalism, white supremacy, and imperialism.”
• Since Hamas’ October 7th massacre, PYM has been organizing demonstrations, rallies, and student encampments across the United States and Canada, accusing Israel of “genocide.” 
• In May 2024, while still under WESPAC fiscal sponsorship, PYM was one of the key conveners of the People’s Conference for Palestine. The conference featured speakers affiliated with the PFLP and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another terrorist organization designated as such by the US, EU, Canada, and Israel. As part of the promotion of the event, PYM shared an endorsement video by Salah Salah, one of the founding members of the PFLP. In the video, Salah “call[ed] on the members of the Palestinian and Arab communities and friends and supporters of our cause to participate in the People’s Conference…[It is a racist vitriol that offers a new model to Nazism… Participation in this People’s Conference is crucial on a large scale and on the highest level to set a plan that offers further coordination and an agreement on a strategy for unified action.”
• In October 2023, in the aftermath of the brutal Hamas attack on October 7, PYM tweeted, “WHEN PEOPLE ARE OCCUPIED, RESISTANCE IS JUSTIFIED.”
• In 2019, a French court, citing a 2015 report from the French General Directorate for Internal Security, claimed that Palestinian Youth Movement is “affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.”

Within Our Lifetime

• Until at least May 2023, WESPAC served as the fiscal sponsor of Within Our Lifetime (WOL). As of April 2025, WOL’s donation page appears to be no longer operational.
• In October 2023, WOL published a statement declaring, “We must defend the Palestinian right to resist zionist settler violence and support Palestinian resistance in all its forms. By any means necessary. With no exceptions and no fine print.”
• In March 2024, WOLand Samidoun sponsored an event titled “Resistance 101” – despite the university refusing to host the event on campus. During the event, International Coordinator at Samidoun Charlotte Kates stated, “There is nothing wrong with being a member of Hamas, being a leader of Hamas, being a fighter in Hamas.”
• In June 2021, WOL co-founder and leader Nerdeen Kiswani participated in a conference, “Challenging Apartheid in Palestine: Reclaiming the Narrative, Formulating A Vision,” hosted by the Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University. Conference organizers and sponsors, as well as other participants, were linked to various terror groups, including Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

Adalah-NY

• Until at least August 2024, Adalah-NY referred to WESPAC as its “fiscal sponsor.” As of May 2025, Adalah-NY no longer has a donate option on its website.
• Adalah-NY is a fringe organization that operates in the New York area. It is one of the most vocal proponents of anti-Israel BDS (boycotts, divestment, and sanctions) campaigns in the U.S., most commonly in the form of small protests.
• Publishes open letters to artists, urging them to cancel their planned appearances in Israel. Warns that artists who perform in Israel are helping to “whitewash Israel’s violations of international law and project a false image of normalcy.”

International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network

• As of April 2025, the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN) website continues to direct donations through WESPAC’s fiscal sponsorship.
• In May 2024, co-founder and international coordinator of IJAN Sara Kershnar participated in the People’s Conference for Palestine. During her speech, she declared, “We stand in our own history of resistance to genocide, including the right to resist, and armed resistance as part of that history. And in that way, we are unequivocally with the resistance in Palestine.” She argued that “it is crucial for the future survival of humanity that Israel and Zionism are dismantled.”
  • The conference featured speakers affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, terrorist organizations designated as such by the US, EU, Canada, and Israel. 
• On November 6, 2023, IJAN published a statement titled “No Final Solution in Our Name. Never Again For Anyone.” The statement called on “all Jews of Conscience to stand and act against Netanyahu’s goal of a ‘final solution’ for ‘the Palestinian problem’… This latest assault on Gaza is consistent with the violent colonization of Palestine that imposed the State of Israel on the Palestinians and has maintained it for over 75 years: its ongoing apartheid policies, military occupation and siege, ethnic cleansing, ghettoization, and forced displacement… Gaza is a concentration camp and rapidly becoming a death camp. Gas chambers and firing lines have been replaced with bombs, tanks, and white phosphorous. We say never again for anyone…. The intention is clear. The intention is genocide.”

US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN)

• Until June 2024, the U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) directed donors to WESPAC, stating their donations were “tax-deductible, thanks to the fiscal sponsorship of WESPAC Foundation”; checks for USPCN were to be made out to WESPAC. In the summer of 2024, USPCN moved its online donation platform to Venmo, and by April 2025, USPCN began soliciting funds through the fundraising platform Zeffy.
• On October 7, 2023 – still under WESPAC fiscal sponsorship – USPCN issued a statement justifying the attacks, describing them as “self-defense operations” by the “unified Palestinian Resistance.” USPCN framed the attack as a response to decades of “apartheid Israel’s brutality” and “Zionist settler-colonialism.” USPCN further claimed, “Palestinians have an internationally-recognized right to resist illegal military occupation, and today’s attacks from the Palestinian Resistance should be understood as a legitimate response to unending violence from Israel’s extreme right-wing, racist, white supremacist, zionist government and settler movement…Resistance has been warning Israel and its U.S. and Western European patrons to end their attacks on our people, but now we have no choice but to defend ourselves, because the Israeli military and racist settlers have been attacking and killing with impunity, and must and will be stopped! We will win our liberation and Return!”
• In May 2024, USPCN was one of the key conveners of the People’s Conference for Palestine.

Palestinian Feminist Collective

• Until at least July 2024, the Palestinian Feminist Collective (PFC) directed donations through WESPAC. As of April 2025, PFC claims to be fiscally sponsored by Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition.
• In December 2023 – still under WESPAC fiscal sponsorship – PFC signed onto an NGO statement denying that Hamas perpetrated sexual violence during the Oct. 7 attacks and after, and titled, “‘Sexual assault’ as propaganda to facilitate Genocide in Gaza.” According to the NGOs, “Within their narration to justify the genocide, the US administration adopted, via recitations of its president, the allegations promoted by the Israeli occupation’s propaganda machine regarding the occurrence of ‘sexual assaults’ against Israeli female hostages in the Gaza Strip. No credible evidence or reports from independent international investigative bodies in this regard was provided. Such conduct in endorsing unfounded allegations without due diligence serves as a deliberate distortion of the struggle of the Palestinian people for liberation and their legitimate resistance against an occupying colonial entity.”
• In August 2024, PFC was part of the NGO coalition that protested outside the Democratic National Convention, demanding that Democrats adopt anti-Israel policies. The central demand of the NGO coalition was to “End U.S. Aid to Israel…. We must stop our government from arming and supporting this genocide.”
