A global network of anti- activist groups is mobilizing coordinated “Nakba 78” protests across the United States and around the world today, with organizers using the anniversary of Israels founding to challenge the Jewish states right to exist.
A Fox News Digital investigation found that about 425 organizations â including communist groups, Muslim advocacy organizations and anti-Israel activist coalitions attributed with blatant antisemitism â are working together in a coordinated transnational protest network with a combined funding footprint of about $1 billion in annual revenues.
The groups have organized an estimated 736 events across 39 countries this weekend in locations including New York , Chicago, , London and Sydney, according to an analysis of protests listed at a website organizing actions against Israel. Organizers describe the demonstrations as marking the “Nakba,” an Arabic word for “catastrophe” used by Palestinians to describe the founding of Israel on May 14, 1948, the displacement of Palestinians and their historical grievance.
The “Nakba 78” protests reflect a “sinful marriage between the radical left and radical Islamism, the groups that hate Western liberal democracies and desire to destroy them,” Dalia Ziada, a scholar and Washington, D.C.-based coordinator at the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, told Fox News Digital.
Critics say that the coordinated organizing of the mass protests reveals a that presents itself as humanitarian while mainstreaming rhetoric that denies Jewish self-determination and the right of Israel to exist as a state.
In yesterday, the Peoples Forum, a pro-communist activist hub and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, funded by a Marxist tech mogul, Neville Roy Singham, made signs at an “art build” for a protest today against the “ongoing Nakba.” Their Marxist comrades within the Party for Socialism and Liberation are fanning out across the country to rail against Israels existence.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., a member of the Senate and Finance Committees, told Fox News Digital that she is very concerned about the Chinese Communist Party and its sympathizers using the U.S. nonprofit industry to create an infrastructure to pull people together to undermine the United States.
“One of the things we know about the Singham group and about the Chinese Communist Party is they are going to look for a fellow bad actor⦠and they’re going to try to partner with them in causing chaos in our cities,” Blackburn said.
Blackburn added that such efforts are part of a broader strategy.
“There is no limit to what the Chinese Communist Party will do to create chaos in the United States,”: she said.
Over almost a decade, Singham has of nonprofits, including the Peoples Forum, CodePink and BreakThrough BT Media, which have organized a steady wave of anti-Israel protests in the United States, particularly after the brutal Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of Israelis by Hamas militants, and they are now supporting this years “Nakba 78” protests.Â
A Fox News Digital investigation identified the flow of Singhams money into nonprofits promoting the propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party, and U.S. Treasury, Justice, officials are investigating their funding structures and operations in the U.S. Lawmakers in the House Judiciary, Oversight and Ways and Means committees are also investigating the Singham network and the nonprofits it supports for possibly violating laws that require agents of foreign interests to register with the Justice Department, as well as other possible improprieties.
