Democrats should have some shame. But it appears they have anything but it.
And now Republicans uncovered a dark money network used for this disgusting purpose.
A startling new report from NGO Monitor, a Jerusalem-based watchdog, claims that several tax-exempt charities and financial service outfits in the U.S. are channeling funds to groups with ties to terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), as designated by the United States.
The exposé alleges that these terror-linked entities are raking in cash through 501(c)(3) organizations and donor-advised financial platforms right under the IRS’s nose. “The sharp rise in violent anti-Semitism in the wake of the October 7th massacre highlights the urgent need for greater vigilance in preventing the diversion of aid and NGO funding to terror and hate,” Professor Gerald M. Steinberg, NGO Monitor’s Founder and President, told The Daily Wire.
“This includes systematically investigating and documenting the support that IRS-registered charities receive from and provide to individuals and organizations linked to designated terror groups or active in spreading hate propaganda.”
NGO Monitor’s report names and shames several NGOs with alleged PFLP connections, flagged as terror groups by Israel: Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC), Al-Haq, Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCI-P), and Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR). It also accuses Al Mezan of having members cozying up to both Hamas and the PFLP.
Take the Foundation for Middle East Peace (FMEP), a D.C.-based 501(c)(3)—its website brags about funding Al Haq, Al Mezan, DCI-P, and PCHR in 2025. While exact figures are murky, IRS filings from 2023 show FMEP dished out $10,000 to Al Mezan and a heftier $58,000 to Al-Haq.
Then there’s George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, which reportedly funneled $800,000 to Al Haq from 2020-2023, $250,000 to Al Haq Europe between 2023-2025, $170,000 to Al Mezan in 2023, and $450,000 to Al Mezan from 2021-2024.
Grassroots International, meanwhile, has been drumming up donations for PCHR, a group it calls a “long-term partner,” per NGO Monitor’s findings.
The report also spotlights other U.S. charities with tax-deductible status tossing money into the mix. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) handed $100,000 to DCI-P for 2020-2022, while Cultures of Resistance Network has bankrolled Al-Haq, DCI-P, UAWC, and Al Mezan, according to NGO Monitor. A 2023 New York Post investigation found RBF poured millions since 2018 into six anti-Israel groups, some of which cheered Hamas’s October 7 civilian attack. RBF pushed back, insisting their “grantee organizations support, materially or ideologically, acts of terrorism” claims are baseless.
NGO Monitor also calls out Charities Aid Foundation in Alexandria, Virginia, for listing DCI-P in its “vetted network” of charities for donor-advised grants. The report further notes that Al-Haq and the Hind Rajab Foundation—whose founder brags about Hezbollah ties—rely on San Francisco’s Stripe Inc. to process donations.
The Belgium-based Hind Rajab Foundation has launched legal bids to nab IDF veterans, including Americans, and even demanded the arrests of former President Joe Biden and ex-Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Its founder, Dyab Abou Jahjah, once boasted in 2003 that he “joined the Hezbollah resistance against Israel,” dubbed the 9/11 attacks “sweet revenge,” and reportedly sits on the U.S. no-fly list. A recent Jerusalem Post piece ties Jahjah’s family and business dealings to Hezbollah’s terror funding web.
Al Mezan’s director, Issam Younis, rubbed elbows with now-dead Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar at a 2017 panel, joined by heads of other U.S.-designated terror outfits like Palestinian Islamic Jihad and PFLP. NGO Monitor flags Al Mezan board member Nafiz Al-Madhoun, a former Hamas legislative bigwig from 2010-2022.
UAWC, dubbed the PFLP’s “agricultural arm” by a USAID audit, saw a 2022 Dutch audit uncover 34 individuals juggling roles in both UAWC and PFLP from 2007-2020. Two UAWC money men were nabbed in 2019 for heading a PFLP cell that bombed and killed a 17-year-old Israeli.
Israel’s Ministry of Defense slapped a terror label on Al-Haq in 2021 for acting as a PFLP front. Back in 2018, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express cut off its online donations over those ties, per NGO Monitor. Al-Haq’s director, Shawan Jabarin, has been pegged as a top PFLP figure by Israel’s Supreme Court and linked to multiple PFLP events, including that 2017 Sinwar sit-down.
PCHR’s founder, Raji Sourani, did three years in prison in 1979 for PFLP membership and was barred from the U.S. in 2012. In a 2014 Gaza speech, he said he was “proud” of the PFLP, where he “fought in its ranks.”
DCI-P earned its terror designation from Israel in 2021 for PFLP ties, losing funding from Citibank, Arab Bank PLC, and Global Giving. NGO Monitor says it’s stacked with PFLP-linked staff and board members.
Stripe, FMEP, Open Society Foundations, Grassroots International, RBF, and Cultures of Resistance didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
