This exclusive information has been obtained by the \u2063Washington \u2064Examiner.<\/p>\n<p>ActBlue&#8217;s charity platform, which has been facilitating payments since at least 2021, was previously used\u200d by \u2063the Palestinian Campaign\u200c for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI),\u2062 a founding member of the Boycott, Divestment, \u2062and Sanctions National Committee. This committee is affiliated with entities that have been designated as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-border-threat-so-taboo-that-few-dare-speak-of-it\/\" title=\"A Border Threat So Taboo That Few Dare Speak Of It\">terrorist groups<\/a> by the United \u2063States. However, ActBlue has now taken action and\u2064 is no longer allowing PACBI to solicit\u200c contributions on its\u200d platform due to non-compliance with user guidelines.<\/p>\n<h3>Account Use Policy and Deactivation<\/h3>\n<p>Morgan Hill, an ActBlue spokeswoman,\u2064 explained that they implemented an Account Use Policy earlier this year. During the \u2063process of establishing this policy, they\u2064 reviewed PACBI&#8217;s account and determined that it\u2063 was not in compliance. \u200cHill clarified that the account&#8217;s continued activity was a clerical error, but it has now been deactivated.<\/p>\n<p>This revelation, which has not been previously reported, comes after years\u200c of concerns raised by Republicans and the pro-Israel Zachor Legal Institute regarding ActBlue&#8217;s potential unlawful support \u2064of terrorism through its association with PACBI. The Jerusalem Center for \u200bPublic Affairs, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">foreign policy<\/a> think tank, has identified\u200d PACBI as the &#8220;face&#8221; of the BDS National Committee, which includes U.S.-designated terror groups such as Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front\u2062 for the Liberation of \u200cPalestine.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, PACBI is a project of the Alliance for Global Justice, an Arizona charity that has been linked to Palestinian terrorism and fundraising through\u200d PayPal. The Washington\u200b Examiner has obtained emails revealing\u2064 that both Stripe and Salsa Labs dropped their association with the Alliance. PACBI&#8217;s connection to the Alliance is\u2063 evident through a \u200d&#8221;thank you&#8221; email sent to a donor, which listed the Alliance&#8217;s employee identification number \u2062that matches PACBI&#8217;s. Additionally,\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/happy-anniversary-lincoln-project-founder-rick-wilson-celebrates-7-years-since-390k-tax-lien\/\" title=\"Happy Anniversary! Lincoln Project Founder Rick Wilson Celebrates 7 Years Since 0K Tax Lien\">tax records show<\/a> that the Cultures of Resistance Network Foundation \u2062granted $10,000 to the Alliance in 2020, specifically earmarked for PACBI.<\/p>\n<h3>ActBlue&#8217;s Policies and Congressional Investigation<\/h3>\n<p>ActBlue has specific policies\u200b in place for internationally operating entities, including \u2064the requirement of their own EIN number \u200band being headquartered within the United\u200c States or its \u200cterritories. ActBlue\u2062 also does not work with organizations that \u200bcontradict its policies on social equality, women&#8217;s rights, LGBTQIA2S+ rights, racial justice, diversity, freedom of speech,\u200d disability rights, and respect for\u200c scientific inquiry, \u2063discovery, and data.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Darrell Issa, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has expressed the need for a comprehensive review into ActBlue&#8217;s facilitation of fundraising for an entity\u200c controlled by designated \u2062foreign terrorist organizations. He highlighted the fact that ActBlue&#8217;s sudden decision to \u200dcut ties with PACBI raises more questions than answers.<\/p>\n<p>As \u2064of now, a search for PACBI\u200c in ActBlue&#8217;s database yields\u200d no results. However, PACBI is currently fundraising on behalf of the BDS movement on the coalition&#8217;s website. The BDS website still includes a Disclaimer from its sponsor, the Alliance, stating that online donations are not accepted at\u200b the moment,\u200c but paper checks are \u2062being processed.<\/p>\n<p>The Alliance sponsors numerous global entities, including \u2063Samidoun, an Israeli-designated terror \u200ccoalition. Marc Greendorfer, president of the\u200d Zachor Legal Institute, has stated that PACBI&#8217;s goal is to sanitize \u200bfundraising for prohibited terror organizations and ultimately aims for the\u2064 ethnic \u2064cleansing of Jews from their homeland.<\/p>\n<p>Greendorfer also suggests that ActBlue may have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democratic-behemoth-actblue-boots-anti-israel-group-accused-of-terror-ties-off-platform\/\" title=\"ActBlue, a prominent Democratic organization, removes anti-Israel group with alleged terror connections from its platform.\">violated anti-money laundering laws<\/a>, and attorney Alan Dye points out that PACBI&#8217;s activities could potentially go against IRS rules and public policy.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Mike Lawler, a member of the House \u200bForeign Affairs Committee, expressed his shock but \u200cnot surprise at the news, emphasizing the need for further investigation into the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2063Washington\u2064 Examiner reached out to the Palestinian Campaign\u2064 for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel for comment,\u200d but they did not respond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic fundraising software ActBlue has cut ties with an anti-Israel group accused of terrorism links and federal law violations.
