Israeli Ministry Uncovers $250 Million Fundraising by US Groups Supporting Terror Against Israel

The Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism has released a groundbreaking report exposing financial data on approximately 20 US-based organizations that support terrorist groups and have raised over $250 million. The comprehensive study focuses on antisemitism, delegitimization, and incitement to terror, particularly within the United States. It reveals that some groups use ostensibly legitimate donation mechanisms to channel funds toward delegitimization and incitement activities.

The report identifies patterns of coordination among these organizations, including joint campaigns and extensive public outreach that sometimes cross the line into extremism, incitement, and even violence. Some funds were transferred through intermediary entities that served as conduits to groups linked to terrorism. These organizations often operate under the guise of civil society, human rights, or educational frameworks but promote extreme messages, systematic delegitimization of Israel, and antisemitic content.

Based on public, regulatory, and legal sources, the report highlights direct and indirect ties between these organizations and designated terrorist groups in Israel, the US, and Europe, including prior involvement in banned groups or public support for their activities. Following the findings, Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Shikli sent letters to US congressional leaders and the Department of Justice urging action to halt these organizations' operations. Shikli stated, "The era of double-dealing, where groups support terror while hiding behind a 'civil' facade, is over."

Avi Cohen Skali, CEO of the Ministry, emphasized that these tax-exempt organizations are legally barred from political activity but in practice promote anti-Israel agendas, covert antisemitism, delegitimization, and terror incitement. The Ministry pledges to continue exposing the links between seemingly innocent civil groups and terrorist organizations.
