Ties to Terror Groups Under the Guise of Human Rights: What Lies Behind Anti-Israel Organizations?

The Diaspora Affairs Ministry published a study exposing about 20 pro-Palestinian organizations in the US that raised over $250 million between 2020 and 2025, with alleged ties to terrorism and incitement. Minister Amichai Chikli appealed to Congress and the Justice Department to consider enforcement measures.

The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism published a new study revealing the funding mechanisms, activity patterns, and network of connections of about 20 delegitimization organizations operating in the US. According to the report, the organizations collectively raised more than $250 million between 2020 and 2025, mainly through donations. The ministry claims that the organizations operate under the guise of civil society, human rights, or educational activity, but in practice promote delegitimization campaigns against Israel, incite violence, and maintain ties with organizations declared terrorist organizations in Israel, the US, and Europe. The report is based on cross-referencing information from public, regulatory, and legal sources, and presents recurring patterns of cooperation and money transfers through intermediary bodies. Among the organizations listed in the report are American Muslims for Palestine, Palestinian Youth Movement, Council on American-Islamic Relations, Students for Justice in Palestine, Jewish Voice for Peace, Al-Shabaka, Al-Awda, ISNA Legal Palestine, and Adalah-NY. The document emphasizes that there is no connection between Adalah-NY and the Adalah organization in Israel. Following the publication of the report, Minister Amichai Chikli appealed to members of congressional committees and the US Justice Department to consider enforcement measures. According to him, "The era of the double game has come to an end." The ministry's director general, Avi Cohen-Skali, added that the organizations are exempt from taxes and prohibited from political activity, but in practice promote an anti-Israel agenda.
