[Opinion] Look Who's Really Behind Pro-Palestinian Protests at the DNC
[Excerpts]
As delegates arrive in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) starting Monday, they will be met by anti-Israel demonstrators seeking to interrupt the proceedings and dominate the conversation. The demonstrations are not a spontaneous expression of democracy but a well-orchestrated hate march led by NGOs with shady funding.
A coalition of nearly one hundred organizations is planning what they are calling the March on the DNC, which will focus on vilifying Israel, accusing it of genocide and war crimes in Gaza, and trying to undermine U.S. government support for the only democracy in the Middle East. Amid an explosive rise in antisemitism and attacks on American Jews and Jewish communities since Hamas‘ brutal Oct. 7 assault, this march, too, will likely be filled with hate, lies, and carry a high potential for violence.
Participating in this march are many NGOs with deep ties to extremist programs, and some with links to known terrorist networks. These NGOs have received millions of dollars in funding, yet generally lack financial transparency and push an agenda that is actively contributing to antisemitism and hate in the United States. Their actions have serious implications for Jewish-American communities and pose a significant threat to American society and national security.
