These groups \u2064aim to\u200d pressure Democrats to adopt\u2063 anti-Israel policies. The upcoming \u200dprotest has faced challenges, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-judge-rules-no-labels-can-stop-people-from-running-under-its-banner\/\" title=\"Arizona judge allows No Labels to prevent individuals from running under its name\">recent federal court \u200druling<\/a>\u2064 that denied activists additional\u200c space \u200dfor their demonstration.<\/p>\n<p>Among the groups participating in the \u2062protest are CODEPINK, the Palestinian Feminist Collective, and Students\u2062 for Justice \u200cin Palestine \u2062Chicago. \u200dThere are concerns, particularly from Republicans, about the approach of Democratic \u200bleaders, including Vice President\u200c Kamala Harris, toward Hamas \u2063amidst rising tensions in the \u2064Middle East.\u2062 The Biden-Harris administration has called\u200c for de-escalation\u2064 while addressing threats from Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2063report also emphasizes that many of the organizations behind the protests \u2064have affiliations with \u200bsignificant progressive dark money \u200bgroups, which include \u200bfinanciers such as George Soros \u200dand Bill Gates. NGO Monitor&#8217;s findings raise questions \u2062about the Democratic Party&#8217;s stance against what they term antisemitic sentiments and violent actions linked to these protests.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Inside the anti-Israel network planning a sweeping DNC protest<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1729148\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>EXCLUSIVE &mdash;<\/strong> Nearly 100 organizations planning to protest against Israel next week in Chicago outside the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democratic-national-convention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Democratic National Convention<\/a>&nbsp;are under the spotlight in a new report by a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/watchdog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">watchdog<\/a>&nbsp;group.<\/p>\n<p>The report, authored by NGO Monitor, highlights&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/investigations\/3098852\/familiar-faces-left-wing-dark-money-groups-fuel-violent-dc-protest-backing-hamas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how left-wing activist hubs<\/a>&nbsp;sympathizing with Hamas after its Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel are aiming to pressure Democrats to adopt anti-Israel policies.

The report sheds light on left-wing activist groups that have shown support for Hamas following its terrorist attack on Israel on October 7. These groups aim to influence Democrats to adopt anti-Israel policies. The planned protest faced a setback this week when a federal judge denied activists&#8217; request for additional space to demonstrate. Meanwhile, Republicans are expressing concerns about whether Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, will take a strong stance against Hamas. The Biden-Harris administration has called for de-escalation in the Middle East amid attacks on Israel by Iran and its proxies.<\/p>\n<p>Gerald Steinberg, founder and president of NGO Monitor, stated that the same network of NGOs responsible for organizing protests at universities will be targeting DNC delegates and participants in Chicago. Among those planning to protest outside the DNC from August 19-22 are CODEPINK, Palestinian Feminist Collective, Students for Justice in Palestine Chicago, American Muslims for Palestine Chicago, and other pro-Palestinian organizations active nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>One group involved is the ANSWER Coalition, which recently organized a violent demonstration in Washington D.C., while another group linked to terrorism is Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network\u2014designated as such by Israel but operating under a charity based in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>The anti-Israel coalition issued a statement criticizing President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration after he announced he would not seek reelection; they accused it of committing genocide through its support of Israel. NGO Monitor&#8217;s report points out that this coalition has &#8220;non-transparent&#8221; funding sources and is raising money via Action Network.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by the Washington Examiner, many entities associated with these protests receive financial backing from influential progressive dark money organizations funded by major Democratic donors like George Soros and Bill Gates.<\/p>\n<p>Steinberg questioned whether Democratic leaders\u2014including Vice President Harris\u2014would stand against antisemitism and violence unlike university administrators have done previously. The report also references an investigative series by the Washington Examiner regarding Alliance for Global Justice (AGJ), which has connections to Samidoun and ties with terrorist groups like Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine; payment processors such as PayPal have severed ties with AGJ due to these associations.<\/p>\n<p>The anti-Israel coalition has outlined various demands directed at Democrats including halting U.S. aid to Israel and advocating &#8220;community control of police.&#8221; They condemned what they perceive as U.S.-promoted wars globally while claiming U.S military interests contribute significantly to violence in Gaza among other regions worldwide<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":381,"featured_media":2324221,"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\/06\/Anti-Israel-protestors-Columbia-University.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[14436,5845,38092,38093,32076],"class_list":["post-2324220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-activism","tag-anti-israel","tag-dnc-protest","tag-political-protest","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Anti-Israel-protestors-Columbia-University.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324220","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=2324220"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324220\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2324221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2324220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2324220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2324220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
