American Non-Government Organizations Are Intertwined with the PFLP Palestinian Terror Group
(Institute for Contemporary Affairs-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Dr. Omri Weisman - Two American NGOs - Interfaith Peace-Builders and Dream Defenders - support and promote the mission of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a U.S.-designated terror organization. The PFLP has used bombings, shootings, and plane hijackings to achieve its political goals. Interfaith Peace-Builders (IFPB), also known as "Eyewitness Palestine," claims to have led more than 60 delegations to the Palestinian Authority. IFPB houses its participants in the homes of PFLP terrorist operatives and encourages them to participate in violent demonstrations against Israel. Dream Defenders and its members endorsed the PFLP and espoused its tactics by backing PFLP terrorists on social media and at various public events. It brings people to the Middle East to meet with PFLP members and PFLP-affiliated organizations. In March 2016, Dream Defenders put together an alternative school curriculum that includes the PFLP as one of nine "heroes" that should be used to teach "rebellion" strategies and tactics. The writer, a fellow at the Jerusalem Center, participated in several major U.S. lawsuits over the past decade against terror financing.
