Samidoun, an Israeli-designated terror group, plans NYC rally backing Gaza.
An Israeli-Designated Terrorist Organization Plans “Emergency Rally” in Support of Gaza
An Israeli-designated terrorist organization is organizing an “emergency rally” on Monday to show support for Gaza following a deadly Hamas attack on Israel over the weekend. The rally, coordinated by the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, will take place at 2 p.m. outside the Consulate General of Israel Embassy in New York City. The goal is to “mobilize to defend the heroic Palestinian resistance,” according to a social media post.
Samidoun, flagged as a terror group by Israel’s government in 2021, is a project of Alliance for Global Justice, an Arizona charity that has faced backlash after reports on its terror ties. Payment processors have dropped the charity after these revelations.
Join the Rally and Show Your Support!
“Bring your flags, signs, keffiyehs + voices. Masking is encouraged. Help spread the word by sharing WIDELY and inviting everyone to join us on Monday to show support for Palestinian liberation and return by any means necessary!” said Within Our Lifetime, a pro-Palestinian initiative in New York. The Anti-Defamation League claims that this initiative is run by leaders who have voiced support for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a U.S.-designated terror group.
The planned event comes at a time when the Israel-Gaza conflict is escalating, with the Israel Defense Forces carrying out 130 airstrikes in the last 24 hours in the Hamas-ruled territory. The death toll in Israel has reached at least 800, with thousands critically injured, following an unexpected attack by Hamas, an Iranian-backed terror group. Government officials have compared this attack to “Israel’s 9/11.”
Samidoun has shared employees with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and has drawn the attention of congressional Republicans due to its sponsorship from Alliance for Global Justice. This left-wing nonprofit group has also sponsored the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, which has been accused of having terror ties and was recently removed from the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue.
Payment processors PayPal, Stripe, and Salsa Labs have all ceased working with Alliance for Global Justice after reports on the charity’s terror connections. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) recently announced that PayPal has committed to no longer servicing this entity, emphasizing that national security should take precedence over financial gain.
Other groups participating in the rally include the City University of New York School of Law, the far-left activist group Decolonize This Place, and Existence is Resistance, which is selling shirts on Etsy that read, “Defend Palestine.”
“It’s just gruesome,” said Ron Machol, chief operating officer of Zachor Legal Institute, a pro-Israel think tank that has filed IRS complaints against Alliance for Global Justice for allegedly providing material support to terrorism. Machol’s group has also called on the U.S. government to designate Samidoun as a terrorist organization.
Conservative attorney Marina Medvin reacted to the Samidoun rally, stating, “Meanwhile, in AMERICA…” Republican strategist Steve Guest also expressed concern, saying, “A designated terrorist group, Samidoun, is planning on holding a rally TOMORROW in NYC outside the ’Zionist embassy.'”
In Colombia, the Israeli Embassy in Bogota was vandalized with swastikas, according to the country’s ambassador. Samidoun released a statement in solidarity with Gaza following this incident.
“Imperialism is the primary enemy of the Palestinian cause, creating the Zionist project and arming it to the teeth as a mechanism of attack against the Arab and Iranian peoples, alongside Zionism, the ‘Israeli’ occupation regime and reactionary, complicit Arab forces,” Samidoun said. “Today, the resistance is making clear that despite the weaponry and brutality of the occupier, the promise of liberation is closer than ever before. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Alliance for Global Justice, Samidoun, and CUNY Law School did not respond to requests for comment. The Washington Examiner reached out to the New York Police Department and the Israeli Consulate for comment.

How does the designation of Samidoun as a terrorist organization by the Israeli government impact the credibility of their planned “emergency rally” in support of Gaza?
Recedence over supporting organizations with ties to terrorism.
The decision to hold an “emergency rally” in support of Gaza by a designated terrorist organization raises serious concerns about the motives and intentions of those involved. It is alarming that Samidoun, flagged as a terrorist group by the Israeli government, is organizing such an event and attempting to rally support for what they refer to as the “heroic Palestinian resistance.”
This rally, coordinated by the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, is set to take place outside the Consulate General of Israel Embassy in New York City. The goal, as stated by the organizers, is to defend the Palestinian resistance. However, the designation of Samidoun as a terrorist organization by Israel’s government in 2021 raises questions about the true nature of their activities and their commitment to peaceful solutions.
Samidoun is a project of Alliance for Global Justice, an Arizona charity that has faced backlash due to reports on its terror ties. The connection between Samidoun and Alliance for Global Justice raises further concerns about the legitimacy of their objectives. It is troubling that payment processors have dropped the charity after uncovering these revelations, indicating the gravity of the situation.
Within Our Lifetime, a pro-Palestinian initiative in New York, encourages individuals to join the rally and show their support. However, the complexity of the situation arises when the Anti-Defamation League claims that this initiative is run by leaders who have voiced support for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a U.S.-designated terror group.
The timing of this rally is particularly concerning, as the Israel-Gaza conflict is currently escalating. The Israel Defense Forces have carried out numerous airstrikes in response to Hamas’ deadly attack. The death toll in Israel continues to rise, with many critically injured. The comparison made by government officials between this attack and “Israel’s 9/11” highlights the severity of the situation and the urgent need for peace.
Samidoun’s ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine have also drawn attention from congressional Republicans. Their sponsorship from Alliance for Global Justice, a left-wing nonprofit group, raises further doubts about their intentions and credibility. The fact that this group has sponsored the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, which has been accused of having terror ties, adds another layer of concern.
The decision of payment processors, including PayPal, Stripe, and Salsa Labs, to sever ties with Alliance for Global Justice due to reports on their terror connections further supports the serious nature of these allegations. It is reassuring that House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul has announced PayPal’s commitment to no longer service this entity, emphasizing the importance of national security.
In conclusion, the planned “emergency rally” organized by Samidoun, a designated terrorist organization, raises significant concerns about the true intentions and objectives of those involved. With ties to other terrorist groups and sponsorship from a charity that has faced backlash, it is essential to prioritize national security and ensure that support does not unwittingly fuel terrorism. The Israel-Gaza conflict calls for a peaceful resolution, and actions that perpetuate violence and instigate further harm should be condemned.
