ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE ZOA: U.S. Shouldn’t Call PFLP Front Groups “Human Rights” Groups; Join Israel & Designate Them Terrorist Groups Zionist Organization of America president Morton A. Klein and Director of Research and Special Projects Liz Berney, Esq. released the following statement: For years, the brutal, Arab-Marxist-Leninist terror organization, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), has been operating a network of front-groups that pose as “human rights” non-governmental organizations (NGOs), but in reality aid and abet the PLFP’s goal of destroying Israel. These NGOs obtain and funnel to the PFLP millions of dollars of foreign funding, using forged documents and fictitious humanitarian projects; provide critical support for PFLP terror activities; and are led by and employ numerous PFLP terror operatives. Thankfully, last week (October 19), Israel’s Minister of Defense Benny Gantz designated the following six PFLP front-groups as terror organizations: Addameer; Al-Haq; Bisan Center for Research and Development; Defense for Children International – Palestine (DCI-P); Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC); and the Union of Palestinian Women's Committees (UPWC). This long-needed, overdue step will help curb terror activities and their financing. The U.S. State Department has properly designated the PFLP as a foreign terrorist organization since 1997. ZOA urges the U.S. to likewise designate these PFLP front groups as foreign terrorist organizations. Israel’s designations explained that the six “NGOs” (all based in Ramallah) are controlled by PFLP senior leaders; employ many PFLP activists including those who participated in terror activities; are “central sources” of financing and growth for PFLP terrorism; obtain “large sums of money from European countries and international organizations” by deceit – and use these funds to pay Arabs to murder Jews, enlist operatives, and promote PFLP’s terror activities and ideology.
