Pro-Hamas group that helped organize college protests is a 'sham charity,' Treasury says
Apro-Hamas organization that has helped organize protests on American college campuses is a “sham charity” that fundraises for a terrorist group, the Treasury Department said Tuesday.
In a joint action by the U.S. and Canadian governments, the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, or “Samidoun,” was sanctioned by the Treasury Department and listed as a terrorist entity by the Canadian government where it is based.

“Organizations like Samidoun masquerade as charitable actors that claim to provide humanitarian support to those in need, yet in reality divert funds for much-needed assistance to support terrorist groups,” said Bradley Smith, the acting U.S. Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Terrorism.

“The so-called Israeli state is a settler colony and it never had the right to exist,” she also said in the interview.
