EXCLUSIVE: Major Jewish group demands payment processors cut ties with Palestinian terror-linked group
The Arizona-based Alliance for Global Justice has faced legal criticism over its fundraiser for Collectif Palestine Vaincra, a French partner of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a U.S.-designated terror group. Now, a major Jewish group is demanding that all credit cards, banks, and payment processors freeze donations to the U.S. nonprofit group, which in the past has been targeted by certain groups such as PayPal and Discover.
AFGJ, which the Washington Examiner revealed on Wednesday has received millions from liberal foundations, faced an IRS complaint over its active fundraiser for CPV. The French group is a member of a coalition called the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, which AFGJ fiscally sponsors. Lawyers have said that AFGJ's fundraiser for CPV could open the Arizona group up to criminal inquiries and penalties. Those involved with AFGJ could face as high as 20 years in prison for providing material support to terrorism, according to Paul Kamenar, counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative watchdog.
Former Enron executive John Arnold's LLC, Arnold Ventures, gave $5,000 to AFGJ in 2020, according to tax forms. Vijaya Gadde, a former senior Twitter executive who has been criticized for his role in the company's censorship of the New York Post's 2020 Hunter Biden laptop story, donated $5,000 to AFGJ in 2020 with Ramsey Homsany, her husband.
