“We give our heart, we give our life, we give our blood to the Palestinian people,” Manolo De Los Santos of The People’s Forum declared at a pro-Hamas rally in Manhattan. “Continue to resist. We stand with you. By any means necessary.”
“By any means,” the crowd chanted. A code phrase for violence and terrorism.
“We will use whatever we have in our hands,: De Los Santos continued. “A rock or something else. We will defend the Palestinian people.”
DeSantos had previously tweeted a celebratory Hamas video using paragliders and then armed terrorists attacking Israel with the message, “Long Live the Palestinian Resistance!”
In an official statement, The People’s Forum described the Hamas attacks that murdered over 1,000 Israeli civilians, the elderly, women and children, as an “unprecedented liberation struggle” by “Palestinian resistance factions”.
When it isn’t supporting the rape of women and the kidnapping of children, it’s promoting North Korea, Venezuela, and Cuba, and celebrating the “hopes and aspirations of more than a million people who joined the American Communist Party.”
And The People’s Forum is also a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit approved by the IRS.
If the name sounds like a Chinese Communist front group, that’s because it’s funded by a Maoist millionaire named Neville Roy Singham who operates out of China and funds a network of organizations like The People’s Forum. Singham’s office faces “a red banner that reads, in Chinese, ‘Always Follow the Party.’ Resting on a shelf is a plate depicting Xi.”
Also there at the pro-Hamas rally in Manhattan was Nodutdol: a pro-North Korean organization demanding the “reunification” of Korea. South Korea has accused Nodutdol of being controlled by North Korea. The organization has claimed that North Korean defectors who risked their lives to escape are guilty of “imperialist propaganda” and that claims of atrocities are fictional. Despite that Nodutdol is embedded within the DSA and often takes part in pro-terrorist rallies.
On the same day as the Hamas attack, Nodutol tweeted “power to every Palestinian fighting for their freedom, and glory to every martyr who dies fighting. For every martyr that falls, a new one will rise.” Like The People’s Forum, Nodutol is a 501(c)(3) IRS approved tax-exempt charity.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center had previously profiled the IRS decision to continue providing tax-exempt status to the Alliance for Global Justice, a Marxist organization, which uses that status to sponsor Black Lives Matter chapters, the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition in support of a cop killer, as well as bail funds whose mission is freeing rioters and criminals.
Among the organizations AFGJ sponsors is the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network which was banned by Israel as a subsidiary of the PFLP terrorist organization.
Germany has announced that it’s also banning Samidoun as part of its crackdown on all Hamas activities in Germany. Despite that the IRS has yet to pull AFGJ’s tax-exempt status.
Samidoun responded to the Hamas attacks by promoting banners featuring “solidarity with Al Aqsa Flood”, the name of the Hamas operation, a rally calling for “solidarity with the heroic resistance”, and another one urging “let’s celebrate”.
Samidoun’s support for Hamas atrocities, including the kidnapping of Israeli women and children, was made clear in its Instagram post boasting that, “the resistance” is “seizing occupation settlers” and hailed the “resistance operation, titled the Al-Aqsa Flood by Mohammed Deif, commander in chief of the Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas”.
There is no ambiguity whatsoever about Samidoun’s support for even the worst crimes of Hamas. Despite that it continues to benefit from AFGJ’s tax-exempt status which allows its fiscal sponsor to take in money from George Soros, the Ben and Jerry’s Foundation, and others.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center also exposed the support for Hamas by chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine. The national organization of Students for Justice in Palestine praised the Hamas attacks as a “historic win for the Palestinian resistance” and put out a ‘toolkit’ which explained that the Jewish victims were “not civilians” and could be freely targeted. Its poster for a ‘Day of Resistance’ featured an image of the paraglider that Hamas terrorists had used to massacre and rape young Israelis at a music festival.
Despite its support for terrorism, Students for Justice in Palestine enjoys nonprofit status.
The Freedom Road Socialist Organization, a Marxist-Leninist group, which promotes pro-terror content through its Fight Back News, celebrated the Hamas attacks, including the attacks on civilian communities which it cheered as “Palestinians have taken over the armed settlements that surround Gaza.”
“The Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS), the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and so many others represent the aspirations of a free people, Palestinians who insist on the end to occupation. Freedom Road Socialist Organization rejects the notion that freedom fighters are terrorists. We are proud to stand with the resistance,” it concluded.
The Communist group is funded through the Lucy Parsons Center, a radical bookstore in New York City named after a Communist activist, which enjoys nonprofit status. also issued a statement to “celebrate Palestinian Resistance!”
These are only a few of the examples of IRS approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit groups or those funded by them celebrating Hamas atrocities. This is in clear violation of the tax code which bars such activities.
IRS regulations specifically state that “exempt purposes may generally be equated with the public good, and violations of law are the antithesis of the public good”. They clearly lay out that, “violation of constitutionally valid laws is inconsistent with exemption under IRC 501(c)(3)” and that “planned activities that violate laws are not in furtherance of a charitable purpose”.
But the IRS has refused to enforce the rules and regulations against Islamic terrorists.
When Lori Lowenthal Marcus, a journalist, applied for tax exempt status for her pro-Israel group, the IRS informed her that it “has to give special scrutiny to organizations connected to Israel.”
Lori Lowenthal Marcus told Front Page Magazine that, “One of the excuses given to Z Street by an IRS official was that the IRS had to make sure we were not ‘engaged in terrorism’ because we mentioned ‘terror’ in our mission statement. The part of Z Street’s mission that mentioned terror? ‘We will not engage with, negotiate with or appease terrorists.’”
Offered clear examples of organizations that actually support terror, the IRS has done nothing.
Congress however could change that by regulating nonprofit groups that support terrorism. Taxpayers should not be subsidizing terrorists and their propagandists. And the tax code on this matter should not consist of general guidelines, but clear and unbreakable laws.
The IRS has failed to act. Congress can hold the IRS and pro-Hamas nonprofits accountable.
John says
I am a US Citizen and appreciate the suggestion to revoke a NGO listed with the IRS.
However, the suggestion needs to extend to the ADL, and others.
We cannot suffer fools much longer.
TruthLaser says
Fools are not the same as killers.
David Ray says
No. They’re chickenshit enablers, cheering the murdering hamas scum.
Scott Freitas says
There is literally no end to the beneficial laws Congress COULD pass.
But so long as Demoncrats exist in sufficient numbers within congress so as to ensure they’re not “shut out” of passing bills into law, all we will continue to see are bad, stupid, corrupted, worthless legislation.
And the more things change, the more they stay the same.
TRex says
Agree with your comment but, as we all can see, there is no real opposition to the bad, stupid and corrupt legislation coming out of the House. All it takes is a few rhinos to ensure the progressive agenda marches on.
John says
“There is literally no end to the beneficial laws Congress COULD pass.”
Here, here…However, in the matter of IRC (Internal Revenue Code) 501 (3) (c), and other sections, which supports these NGO’s at Taxpayer Expense…it would be better to call your US Congress person and ask for the REPEAL of the law under the section, or include that no contributions are deductible against Taxable Income (let it continue to be exempt from Gift Tax rules, for a while).
Why keep feeding hundreds of NGO’s at Taxpayer Expense (lobbyists & Donors)?
John says
I replied to your post…and it is waiting moderation (basically said to repeal 501 3 (c) and stop using taxpayers’ for all NGO’s)
Hardball1Alpha says
And to think the Founders were pissed off at a tea tax.
And by the way, it’s pronounced “Ham ass”
Algorithmic Analyst says
Guaranteed scams. Tax exempt terrorism.
Jeff Bargholz says
Did you see the pro Hamas protesters in the Capitol yesterday? Utter scum. I saw photos and they’re ALL dykes and fags. Lezzies are always angry in America. I guess they’re mad because they don’t have dicks.
Some “Apocalypse Now” napalm would be good for rabble like that. And we could listen to “The End” by the doors as they ran around burning.
Noah Andeark says
It’s pretty Hillaryarious! The folk that are supporting them would be thrown off a roof!! Giggle-snorts to the useful ijuts!!
David Ray says
About 300 asswipes that the press rushed to point out were willfully let in.
So were the Jan 6th patriots.
Only difference is that the Jan 6th protesters were set up and provoked in.
The well-behaved, static crowd was attacked by woke DC cops i.e. Pelosi’s Praetorian goons. The goal was to turn the festive mood into bewildered anger, which only increased after Kevin Greeson was killed by a “sting bomb” pellet to the eye (inducing a heart attack).
I don’t expect any of those 300 hamas enablers will be hunted down by the FBI & tossed in the DC Gulag.
Jeff Bargholz says
They’ll probably get medals and invited to host CNN shows.
Mandy123 says
And still sitting in jail to this day. I find it so sickening that none in Congress will speak up and have these people released and the super long sentences is so disgusting. Watching OAN that day showed the Capitol Police dropping/removing the bail barriers and waving the Jan 6ers into the Capitol. I have yet to see OAN replay this segment again and would like to know why. Something is really wrong in our country these days.
TRex says
Nor will Tlaib be charged with inciting an “insurrection”. The reports I saw showed her whining to a crowd gathered in the street. That crowd went directly to the Capitol building and disrupted legislative proceedings. Given the circumstances, one would think Garland would be preparing an arrest warrant for Tlaib at this moment and having the FBI hunting down and arresting the protestors.. I haven’t heard one word from the press about how this situation mirrors the events that resulted in throwing the book at Trump and all those J6er’s.
Hardball1Alpha says
Taking a page from BLM, it’s called a self-feeding extortion loop… pay up, or face public guilt trips and threats of urban violence.
Jeff Bargholz says
“Manolo De Los Santos.” What a fake name.
I looked him up and he’s exactly the type of pussy bite you’d expect. Small weak and he can’t grow a man’s beard. He’s effeminate. He needs an old fashioned ass kicking. Hopefully somebody will do it soon. It wouldn’t take much.
David Ray says
It’d be poetic justice if that whoopin came from an islamic thug. islam tends to attack effeminate pricks like him, if not tossing ’em off of a roof.
Due to naive stupidity of both Bushes & calculated malevolence of jug-eared Barry & grifter Joe, we have more than enough vicious muslims for the prissy fool to bump into.
Peter Mohan says
The Left’s condemnation of Hamas is completely bogus as evidenced by their accusations that Jews bombed a Gaza hospital. In the face of concrete evidence that it was an Hamas missile, I haven’t scene the media rescinding their original stories.
Given time, they will forget the October 7 terror attack or morally equate it with a Jewish response to it, or blame it on Jewish colonialism.
Just as secular white leftists call for the extinction of their own race, leftist Jews seek the extinction of Judaism.
Hardball1Alpha says
Interested in anyone’s thoughts about that “Jews for Ceasefire” fiasco on Capitol Hill yesterday… Seems they were HIGHLY organized, all wearing brand new black t-shirts with the same mantra on it.
Almost as if it’s orchestrated from afar.
David Ray says
Good point.
Conservative groups like the Tea Party are organic, grass-roots movements.
Leftist bullshit movements are staged.
Jeff Bargholz says
Complete frauds. They’re about as Jewish as McRibwiches.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, that was a Hamas missile and it hit the Hospital parking lot, not the hospital itself. And the reported death toll of 500 “innocent” Paleosimians (as if there is any such thing as an innocent terrorist voter) was complete bullshit.
And like you wrote, there hasn’t been any retraction of the COMPLETELY fraudulent “reporting.”
Onzeur Trante says
Unfortunately that lie has already made its revolution (no pun intended) around the globe and is now considered the truth by too many social justice warriors/terrorists with axes to grind.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, I saw them in the Capitol building a few days ago. Utter scum with no sense of reality.
Anybody who supports terrorist Hamas deserves to die slowly and in agony.
Steve Chavez says
Are any of these groups, individual members, others, sending “MATERIAL SUPPORT” to any Terrorist group as designated by the State Department and U.S. Government?
Obama organized the ARAB SPRING that overthrew governments to be replaced with his Muslim Brotherhood like in Egypt, who he quickly recognized and placed in Government positions. He even NASA ordered to create Muslim Outreach which makes sense since they too are into rockets that Hamas used to attack their own hospital to cause an immediate outrage against Israel with the help of the media who focused on blaming Israel.
Speaking of Obama, is he, Valerie Jarrett, John Brennan, sending Material Support, giving advice, organizing advice/support with his many connections in his takeover of all departments, and currently, the White House?
RS says
Valarie Jarrett is Iranian. The enablement of Iran has been going on for quite some time.
Kasandra says
You have to understand that the federal workforce, and especially the professional job categories, are overwhelmingly Leftists. In my agency it was probably 90%+. I had a former college roommate who worked for EO (Exempt Organizations) in the IRS. In college he was a member of SDS, went to the 1968 Democratic Party convention riots, and had a poster sized picture of Leon Trotsky affixed to the ceiling above his bed staring down at him. I have a step brother-in-law (don’t ask) who was hired by the Dept. of State after telling his interviewer that he wanted to work there “to bring peace to the world.” He had a business card that read “(his name) – A Force for good in the Universe,” and sent his interviewer as a thank you gift for the interview the then-current calendar of the War Resisters League. He was hired and had a reasonably successful career there. Really, you simply have no idea how Left the federal workforce is. So it’s no wonder these groups, members in good standing of the red-green alliance, get tax-exempt status while conservative groups get stalled and investigated.
TRex says
Same in State agencies. Where I worked you could hardly find a person who wasn’t a leftist. They came out in droves for Democrats, during gubernatorial elections, knowing there would, most likely, be raises in salary and benefits and there would be no talk of reducing the size of government. It was quite the opposite. Most of the people I knew cared very little about political issues other than who is going to give them the most out of the public treasury. To make matters worse, the employee’s union was on the same page as the State reps with whom they bargained, thereby, making the down-ticket candidates equally important as who held the governor’s seat.
Roark says

President Biden Says Hamas Should ‘Learn How to Shoot Straight’ After Gaza Hospital Bombing
President Joe Biden had a rather tone-deaf response to the news Hamas terrorists mistakenly bombed a hospital in the Gaza Strip with a misfired rocket by saying they should “learn how to shoot straight.”
As Breitbart News reported, the mainstream media initially said Israel bombed a hospital in the Gaza Strip only to later have it be confirmed Hamas terrorists bombed the hospital with a misfired rocket.
ed says
Just end the groups
Luonne Dumak says
We have waaaay to many tax exempt groups. Start with the Southern Poverty center.
Angel Jacob says
Not just end the NGO status, but also bring them in front of judges to answer for their support of terrorist groups.
Get them in debt for paying the legal fees.
RS says
Israel is our sovereign ally in the Middle East , and the only democracy, and we should stand by her. The American people are against funding more to Ukraine, and also to Iran, and all the tentacles that Iran funds, yet Biden is linking funding to Ukraine to funding for Israel to try to send more to the corrupt Zelenky regime.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Defund the Terrorists Defund the UN totally since the UN is one of the big supporters of the Terrorists count how many Terrorists sponsoring Nations belong to the UN
Old Fogey says
But the arms manufacturers who rent Congress critters don’t want to put an end to Hamas, Hisb’Allah, or the Muslim Brotherhood. Without continued war, where would profits come from? As Jefferson wrote, “Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.”
Debbie says
All of those protesters supporting the violence of HAMAS should be ashamed of themselves. Does no one read their Bibles? Do they resent that God chose Israel? If those protesters and supporters of a terrorist group see nothing wrong with slitting the throats of women, children and babies or setting them on fire they would do it here as well. These terrorists initiated this war by their carnage to those of Israel. It is not acceptable for our educators to support these terrorists. They should be terminated of their position. They are no longer teaching facts but teaching their warped perspective to our children. Some of those protesting should be suspended from their schools or colleges permanently or be shown the carnage . If it was their families it would be a totally different response. It is sickening to see our country destroyed.
Also, Biden has allegedly said to permit those coming from Venezuela to cross the border. Many of them are involved with Iran. The idiot in chief began destroying our country on his first day in office and it can happen again.
