The PESP has raked in donations in recent years from the philanthropy of Hungarian businessman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/george-soros\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>George Soros<\/a>, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democratic-dark-money-kingmaker-pumps-millions-into-nonpartisan-supreme-court-watchdogs\/\" title=\"Democratic dark money kingmaker pumps millions into &#039;nonpartisan&#039; Supreme Court watchdogs\">left-wing grantmakers<\/a>, tax records show.<\/p>\n<p>One senior employee at the PESP, K Agbebiyi, touted in an April blog <a href=\"https:\/\/sheabutterfemme.substack.com\/p\/chapter-1-poetry-and-protests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>post<\/a> how she is &ldquo;striving to be a disciplined Communist.&rdquo; In November of last year, Agbebiyi posted an image on social media of her at an anti-Israel protest clutching a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CzRDpJKu8fg\/?img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>sign<\/a> that read, &ldquo;Dykes for Palestine.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Agbebiyi, moreover, posted a picture on Instagram of a mural depicting a terrorist that read, &ldquo;Liberation looks like terrorism in the eyes of the oppressor.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Abhilasha Bhola, <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">PESP senior research coordinator, n<\/span>otably liked a post on social media on the day of the Hamas-led attack last year, including the slogan &ldquo;from the river to the sea,&rdquo; which is a call for the annihilation of Israel, Fox Business&nbsp;reported. Azani Creekes, another PESP staffer, was reportedly in attendance at an anti-Israel protest in January and faced disorderly conduct charges.<\/p>\n<p>Eileen O&rsquo;Grady, the PESP&rsquo;s director of programs, is listed on a flyer for the Wednesday event as a speaker. O&rsquo;Grady has long been a drummer for the Washington, D.C., band Bacchae. The band has reposted images and statements on social media in support of anti-Israel protests, including promotional materials for a protest co-led by the Palestinian Youth Movement.<\/p>\n<p>Warren&rsquo;s willingness to participate in the event comes as the senator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/04\/08\/israel-gaza-war-elizabeth-warren-00151120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>accuses Israel<\/a> of committing genocide in Hamas-run Gaza for retaliating against the terrorist group after its Oct. 7 attack on the Jewish state last year. In December of last year, Warren cited unreliable fatality statistics released by Hamas to argue in a floor speech that Israel committed a &ldquo;moral failure&rdquo; and that Israeli Prime Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> &ldquo;set the conditions for endless violence.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>The Wednesday event is also being hosted by the Center for Economic Policy and Research, a think tank that has supported a &ldquo;Green New Deal&rdquo; and is also a close Warren ally.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We really should get people to stop referring to Israel as the &lsquo;Jewish state,&rsquo; thereby implicating all Jews in its actions,&rdquo; the think tank&rsquo;s co-founder, Dean Baker, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DeanBaker13\/status\/1804641797978964252\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>said<\/a> in June. &ldquo;More correctly, it should be referred to as a &lsquo;state controlled by Jews.&#8217;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We really should get people to stop referring to Israel as the &#8220;Jewish state,&#8221; thereby implicating all Jews in its actions.

The event, titled &#8220;The Role of Private Equity in Health Care,&#8221; will take place in the Senate Visitors Center and will feature discussions about Warren&#8217;s legislation aimed at addressing corporate greed and private equity exploitation within the healthcare sector. This initiative is being co-sponsored by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP), which has ties to progressive funding sources and employs individuals who have advocated for the destruction of Israel. The PESP has been a consistent ally of Warren; she previously referenced their testimony when introducing her bill on private equity last month.<\/p>\n<p>The PESP has received significant financial support from various leftist philanthropic organizations, including those associated with George Soros. One prominent staff member at PESP, K Agbebiyi, expressed her commitment to communism in an April blog post and shared images from an anti-Israel protest where she held a sign reading &#8220;Dykes for Palestine.&#8221; Another staff member, Abhilasha Bhola, notably engaged with social media posts promoting slogans calling for Israel&#8217;s destruction during last year&#8217;s Hamas-led attack.<\/p>\n<p>Eileen O&#8217;Grady, PESP\u2019s program director and also a speaker at Wednesday&#8217;s event, is known for her involvement with a D.C.-based band that has publicly supported anti-Israel protests. Warren\u2019s participation comes amid her accusations against Israel regarding its actions in Gaza following attacks from Hamas last October. In previous statements, she criticized Israeli leadership while citing questionable casualty figures released by Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the event is being organized alongside the Center for Economic Policy and Research (CEPR), another group aligned with Warren that has made controversial statements regarding Israel. CEPR co-founder Dean Baker suggested reframing how people refer to Israel to avoid implicating all Jews in its policies.<\/p>\n<p>Warren&#8217;s office did not respond to requests for comment regarding this upcoming panel discussion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":381,"featured_media":2316682,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Elizabeth-Warren-Israel-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[36776,34813,36777,36775,32076],"class_list":["post-2316681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-anti-israel-activists","tag-elizabeth-warren","tag-panel-discussion","tag-soros-backed-group","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Elizabeth-Warren-Israel-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2316681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/381"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2316681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2316681\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2316682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2316681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2316681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2316681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
