A little-known charity in the United States that is backed by influential liberal nonprofit groups is the fiscal sponsor for several anti-Israel organizations that support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, including a Palestinian terrorist-linked group.
Alliance for Global Justice launched in 1998 and is an offshoot of the Nicaragua Network, a group that supported the socialist Sandinista political regime in Nicaragua. The Arizona-based 501 charity, which has dubbed itself"anti-capitalist" and"progressive," fiscally sponsors four groups aligned with BDS, a movement that says Israel is an"apartheid state," according to its website.
A staff blog post on AFGJ's website says the group actually sponsors 130 projects, making it unclear where that number stands right now. AFGJ did not respond to a request for comment. In October, the Netherlands banned Samidoun's leaders from entering the European Union, and the credit card company Discover said in 2021 it would no longer process donations to AFGJ due to its ties to Samidoun.
"One of the most important reasons for supporting BDS is that it is non-violent resistance to the occupation," Mohyeddin Abdulaziz, a co-founder of APSA, told the Washington Examiner."It is very clear that military and violent solutions only brought disaster to all people in that part of the world." Here are the 112 companies included in UN’s new database of companies involved in Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise.
