Samidoun has gained attention for organizing anti-Israel protests \u2062following\u2064 Hamas&#8217;s recent attacks and has been \u2064designated as\u200c a terrorist group by both Israel and Germany.<\/p>\n<p>According to records, Samidoun is revealed to \u200cbe\u2064 a subsidiary of the Alliance for Global Justice, a left-wing organization. This connection blurs the\u2063 legal distinction between the two entities and is part of a common arrangement on the left. Similar \u200dcases can be seen \u2063with organizations like the Adalah Justice Project, which \u2062is fiscally sponsored by the Tides\u200d Center and \u2062is a\u200b vocal defender\u2063 of \u2062Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>However, Samidoun&#8217;s actions have led to the severing of ties with at \u2063least one ally of \u2064the Alliance for Global \u200dJustice. The New Venture\u200c Fund, a prominent dark money network, condemned terrorism\u200b and violence against\u200c civilians and\u200b announced the discontinuation of grants to projects hosted by the Alliance for Global Justice. In 2021, the New Venture \u200cFund, along with the Soros-backed Tides Center \u200dand Tides Foundation, contributed over $9 million \u200cto the alliance.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these revelations, both Samidoun and the Alliance for Global Justice have not responded to multiple requests for\u2063 comment. It is unclear when exactly Samidoun became\u2064 absorbed into the \u2062Alliance for Global Justice and who specifically earmarked funds for \u2062the group. As of the last available \u2062tax filings in 2021, the alliance had over\u2064 $6.2 million in assets and\u2062 spent more than $54 million.<\/p>\n<p>Since the October Hamas attack, Samidoun\u2064 has maintained a &#8220;Calendar of Resistance&#8221; on \u200dits website, informing activists about opportunities to \u2063protest against Israel.

Federal officials have initiated\u200b a criminal investigation into the protest.<\/p>\n<p>Samidoun has a long history of supporting terrorists, particularly the PFLP. The group has been known to dismiss \u200devidence of its affiliation with \u2062the PFLP as &#8220;Zionist \u200bdisinformation.&#8221;\u200b However, one of the group&#8217;s leaders,\u2062 Charlotte Kates, and her husband, Khaled Barakat, co-founder of the \u200dPalestinian \u2062Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, have been barred from entering the European Union\u200d due to their ties to the PFLP.
