The "Palestinian Children's Welfare Fund" announced a $5,000 donation for the beginning of Ramadan to feed Gazans.
Many thanks to you all for your donations that enabled us to make this much needed donation at a critical time. Paul Larudee and Judith Bello of PCWF and FPM are US representatives of the Lebanon-based Global Gathering to Support the Choice of Resistance, based in Beirut, Lebanon, under the leadership of Secretary General Dr. Yehia Ghaddar, with branches in 80 countries. Those countries that are able have supported the community of our brother Mohammed Madi, the Gaza representative of the Global Gathering, and have donated many tens of thousands of dollars...
"Global Gathering to Support the Choice of Resistance" doesn't sound like its primary activity is to feed children. It sounds more like it prefers to murder them - as long as they are Jews in Israel.
Sure enough, the organization is a pro-Hezbollah, pro-Assad, pro-Iran,
pro-Houthi group that cares little about children, at least according to its
website, which is filled with praise for Iran and condemnations of Israel and the US.
Its Arabic name is “The Arab and Islamic Union Supporting the Resistance Option.”
IDC-Herzliya wrote a paper about it in 2021, identifying it as "an international pro-Iranian platform to leverage the resistance axis against the US, Israel and their allies." It has tight connections with Hezbollah and Shiite militias in Iraq and Yemen, as well as with other terrorist organizations such as Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
In summation, it is evident that al-Tajammu serves as an international platform to spread the ideas
of resistance to the US, Israel, KSA, Bahrain and other pro-western regimes who are perceived as
threatening the Iranian interests. It seems that Hezbollah uses it to disseminate propaganda, raise
funds and recruit activists. Far worse is the fact that the international community does not pay
attention to this network’s existence and its terrorist organizations members, even though some of
its members operate in countries where Hezbollah has been designated as a terrorist organization
(e.g. Germany).
Donations to the PCWF are
tax deductible in the US. It goes through another organization, the Association For Investment In Popular Action Committees, which shares the same address - that of Paul Larudee, a founder of the Free Gaza Movement and the Northern California branch of the International Solidarity Movement.
The Form 990 for the Association For Investment In Popular Action Committees shows some interesting things. 2024 was a banner year - it quadrupled its income through donations, from $236,000 to $946,000.
It lists its top donor as "RESTRICTED". That seems to be the main different between previous years and 2024, which indicates that some wealthy American gave over a half million dollars to this pro-"Axis of Resistance" organization which is openly aligned with groups wanting to destroy America.
While Larudee himself takes a salary of only $27,500, the organization paid $125,000 to "American Content Creation," which happens to share the same residential address as Larudee, the PCWF and the AFIIPAC.
Other organizations at this address - which are all tax deductible under this umbrella - include the pro-Assad Free Syria Movement and the
North America Nakba Tour. In fact, Larudee is a veritable machine in
churning out causes to convince you to give to and get a tax deduction:
Free Palestine Movement
Global Movement to Gaza – US
Good Shepherd Collective
Haiti Solidarity Project
NakbaTour
One State Assembly
Palestine Children’s Welfare Fund (Under construction)
Resumen Latinoamericano
Serena Shim Award
Sovereignty Support Movement
Taxpayers Against Genocide
The Grayzone
Perhaps the IRS would be interested in the links between this 501(c)(3) tax deductible organization and Iran and Hezbollah, which Larudee openly supports himself.
