Alana Goodman of the Washington Free Beacon shares disturbing news linked to major American universities.
A sham Palestinian charity added to the U.S. terrorist sanctions list this week has worked closely with elite American universities—including Harvard, Yale, and Columbia—to promote anti-Israel propaganda.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury said the West Bank-based Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, which describes itself as a “civil institution that works to support Palestinian political prisoners,” has “long supported and is affiliated” with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a terrorist group that took part in the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks.
The designation came as part of the Trump administration’s broader crackdown against “fraudulent” charities linked to Hamas and the PFLP, which includes sanctions against five other organizations.
Addameer has a long history of partnering with prominent colleges and student groups to push unverified allegations against Israel, a Washington Free Beacon review found.
Addameer’s 2019 annual report listed multiple meetings it held “with its friends and partners,” including many of the groups at the center of the anti-Israel campus movement: Jewish Voice for Peace, Students for Justice in Palestine, Columbia Law School, the U.S. Palestinian Community Network, Adalah, and the Arab American Cultural Center at the University of Illinois Chicago.
Addameer took credit in its report for helping to organize an “event by students from Columbia University shortly after their return from Palestine. The students used the information we gave them during the brief and afterwards.”
Addameer added that “students from different universities in the U.S.” filmed its briefings, screening the footage during events.
In 2022, Harvard Law School’s International Human Rights Clinic partnered with Addameer to submit a joint report to the United Nations accusing Israel of the “crime of apartheid under international law.”
The report pushed false claims about Israel, including allegations that it has a system of “Jewish Israeli supremacy” and a “deliberate policy of land confiscation, dispossession, and illegal settlement.”
