Back in 2018, I posted how the American umbrella group of the BDS movement was helping facilitate tax-exempt donations to the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), one of whose members is is the Council of National and Islamic Forces in Palestine (PNIF).
Among PNIF’s members are five different groups designated by the US as terrorist organizations, including Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the Popular Front – General Command (PFLP-GC), the Palestine Liberation Front, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). Since its founding, the BNC has frequently and openly collaborated with known leaders of these terror organization.
In the same year, DonorBox cut funding services to the BDS Movement because of this affiliation.
After DonorBox decided to stop providing its fundraising services to the BNC, the latter turned to ‘ActBlue Charities’ to continue its fundraising activities, using PACBI (“Palestinian Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel”) as its front instead.
However, PACBI and BNC personnel and positions overlap, they share the same website, and PACBI also lists itself as a “member” of the terror-affiliated BNC.
Some pro-Israel activists have started a petition to make ActBlue aware that their platform is being used to provide financial services to a terror-affiliated group that promotes, and sponsors, hate and violence. Please join me in signing it here.
