Anti-Israel Group at Columbia U. Distributes Pamphlet With Link to Financer of Terrorism
“The PLFP is a designated terrorist organization which, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and assisted with the brutal Hamas attacks on October 7 of last year.”
The situation at Columbia is not improving. When do the adults take charge here?
Campus Reform reports:
Columbia student group encourages involvement with financer of terrorist organization
Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), a pro-Palestine Columbia University student group, distributed pamphlets encouraging involvement with several pro-Palestine organizations, including Samidoun, which calls itself a “Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.”
The Washington Free Beacon reported that the organization distributed the pamphlets just outside of Columbia’s campus in November.
This comes after the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Canadian government sanctioned the Samidoun in October for funding the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP).
The PLFP is a designated terrorist organization which, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and assisted with the brutal Hamas attacks on October 7 of last year.
The Department of the Treasury described Samioud as “a sham charity that serves as an international fundraiser for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization.”
The Treasury Department also said, “While the organization ostensibly supports Palestinian prisoners and their family members, in practice Samidoun provides financial support to the sanctioned PFLP.”
Following the sanctions, nobody in the U.S. is permitted to participate in any transaction involving Samidoun.
🚨 Breaking from @CUJewsIsraelis: Columbia University groups are advertising students to "get involved" with the US-designated terrorist organization Samidoun.

There’s nothing for law enforcement agencies to do, really. Samidoun is not designated in the USA as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, but as a Specially Designated National, which means it’s legal to give it material support, but illegal to engage in financial transactions with it. So as long as students don’t make a cash donation they’re within the law.
Hey, Milhouse — how close does this group have to edge up against “giving material aid to terrorists” before they’re actually “giving material aid to terrorists?”
Ha ha. We were posting simultaneously.
