However, we decline comment on this matter,\u201d the bureau replied. <\/p>\n<p>The FBI designates Hamas as a terrorist organization. <\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the FBI\u2019s unwillingness to let the American people know it\u2019s monitoring self-proclaimed terrorists is because the agency allegedly trained some of its personnel <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/04\/05\/former-agent-fbi-taught-agents-pro-lifers-are-more-dangerous-than-islamic-terrorists\/\">using material<\/a> that \u201cranked people who oppose abortion, pro-life activists, as a greater threat than Islamists,\u201d as former special agent Steve Friend told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_vZPUMCqiAQ\">Tennessee Informer<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Friend said he received the training material in 2014 but was unsure whether the agency still used it. The materials, he said, were produced by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a hate group whose materials <a href=\"https:\/\/lc.org\/newsroom\/details\/061517-dc-shooter-a-fan-of-the-southern-poverty-law-center\">inspired <\/a>a gunman to shoot up the offices of a conservative DC organization in 2012, and another gunman to attempt to murder a member of Congress in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>As of 2023, the FBI still <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/10\/11\/grassley-lankford-demand-fbi-immediately-ditch-extremely-biased-splc-as-investigative-source\/\">uses<\/a> some SPLC materials. SPLC <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/11\/01\/splc-finally-responds-to-hamas-terrorism-with-stealth-edited-accusation-that-israel-targets-kids\/\">responded<\/a> to the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel by claiming that, while \u201call acts of hate violence\u201d are wrong, Israel targets Palestinian civilians.

It labeled them \u201cracially or ethnically motivated violent extremists\u201d and even suggested cultivating FBI informants within local churches.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI has also smeared Americans who support former President Donald Trump as potential terrorists by including them in their \u201cdomestic extremism\u201d definition, a 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/10\/04\/fbi-targets-trump-voters-as-domestic-terrorists-ahead-of-2024-election\/\">report<\/a> from Newsweek found.
