The Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network was founded and is led by members of the PFLP terror group. It proudly promotes the PFLP which recruits children to attack Jews. Yet donors to Samidoun get a tax deduction, as it launders the donations through the Alliance for Global Justice, which claims to support "peace, anti-war and liberation." But AfGJ happily partners with a group that openly advocates terror.It seems to me that IRS rules against terrorist organizations are general enough to include any of these groups that say they support violence against civilians as a legitimate means of "resistance." The organizations that launder the money, Wespac and the Alliance for Global Justice, should be examined and put on notice - the contents of these groups' websites should be enough to make an initial determination that they support terror.
It turns out that I was not the only one raising the alarm.
Also in January, the Zachor Legal Institute filed a complaint to the IRS against the Alliance for Global Justice for acting as a fundraiser for Samidoun as well as its sister French group Collectif Palestine Vaincra.Last week, as a result of Zachor's campaigning against terror financing, the Alliance for Global Justice announced that it can no longer accept credit card donations.
Samidoun only uses AfGJ to launder their donations because they themselves were blacklisted by credit card companies and payment processors in 2019 and 2020
AfGJ claims that they do not support terrorism but Samidoun's own "By Any Means Necessary" campaigns prove otherwise - there is no other way to interpret that phrase except to say that they support and encourage terrorism against Jews in Israel.
AfGJ and Samidoun are now begging their donors to send in paper checks, which for now is still allowed. AfGJ is trying to portray writing checks as resistance: "When you make out a check to AfGJ, you are engaging in direct action, in frontline resistance to a concerted effort by the most extreme right-wing groups to stop justice in its tracks."
It will be interesting to see how the IRS responds to the complaint by Zachor Legal. By their own rules, sending money to an organization founded by and supporting PFLP terrorists should not be tax deductible.
In fact, it should be illegal.
