Taxpayer-Funded Radicalism? New Study Uncovers Alarming Anti-American Movement in “Pro-Palestinian” Groups

A new report reveals a sharp rise in violent and anti-American rhetoric among so-called “pro-Palestinian” groups since the October 7 attacks on Israel, with many of these groups allegedly funded through U.S. tax dollars and operating on college campuses.

Key Facts:

A Capital Research Center study found a 3,000% increase in calls for violence and a 186% rise in anti-American and anti-police rhetoric since October 7, 2023.
Researchers analyzed posts from 496 “pro-Palestinian” groups and activists on platforms like X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Telegram.
Many of these groups are tied to nonprofits, charities, and university chapters—some receiving taxpayer-funded support.
The study concluded the movement has become “anti-American, anti-Western, and pro-violence.”
Some groups equate U.S. law enforcement with the Israeli Defense Forces, calling both “occupation forces.”

The Rest of The Story:

According to the Capital Research Center, the so-called “pro-Palestinian” movement has morphed into something much broader and more dangerous.

Rather than solely advocating for Palestinian rights, many groups now push anti-American narratives, attack U.S. sovereignty, and endorse violent ideologies.

The study’s lead investigator, Ryan Mauro, emphasized the radical evolution of these groups.

He noted their shift toward promoting sedition, rejecting both Israel and the United States as “settler-colonial” regimes.

Perhaps most alarming, many of these groups operate under the guise of charities or university student organizations, some of which benefit from taxpayer dollars.

The report also identified how the movement has embedded itself into other causes, using terms like “AmeriKKKa” and “Globalize the Intifada” to connect with broader anti-Western ideologies.

Capital Research warns that unless addressed, this radical messaging will remain a permanent and growing threat on U.S. soil.

Commentary:

The findings in this report should alarm every American taxpayer.

While citizens work hard and trust their government to use public funds responsibly, some of that money is ending up in the hands of radicals who openly attack our values, police, and country.

This isn’t just about free speech or protesting foreign policy—it’s about enabling a movement that has crossed into the territory of promoting domestic unrest and terror.

What’s most disturbing is that these factions are camouflaged under the banner of “charity” or “student activism.”

They’re not just criticizing government decisions; they are calling for the destruction of America and Israel, pushing narratives that dehumanize law enforcement, and glorifying violence.

And they’re doing it on platforms funded in part by your tax dollars.

College campuses, once meant to be places of learning, are now breeding grounds for groups aligned with what looks and sounds like terrorist propaganda.

By equating American police with the IDF and calling both “occupation forces,” these activists aren’t engaging in debate—they’re inciting hate and, possibly, violence.

Even worse, the connection to federal funding adds another layer of betrayal.

Universities that receive public money are helping finance groups calling for the fall of the very country supporting them.

This is not just misguided activism—it’s taxpayer-subsidized subversion.

Federal agencies already have the tools to act.

Groups supporting violence can and should lose their tax-exempt status.

If the Treasury and IRS don’t enforce the law, they’re enabling the very chaos that threatens public safety and national stability.

We’re not just dealing with angry protesters anymore.

If left unchecked, these taxpayer-funded radicals could bring terror to American neighborhoods—small, frequent attacks like those endured in Israel.

Americans must decide: do we fund our own downfall, or do we act now to stop it?

The Bottom Line:

The study by Capital Research Center exposes a troubling shift in “pro-Palestinian” activism—one that now promotes violence, undermines U.S. law enforcement, and fuels anti-American sentiment.

Even more troubling is the use of taxpayer dollars to support these groups.

Without swift action from government agencies, universities, and lawmakers, these radical networks will only grow stronger—and more dangerous.
