U.S. 'Pro-Palestinian' Movement Faces Scrutiny Over Radical Rhetoric and Charitable Ties

A surge in anti-American and anti-police rhetoric, amplified by social media, raises concerns about nonprofit compliance and potential violence.

The 'pro-Palestinian' movement in the U.S. has seen a 186% increase in anti-American rhetoric and a 3,000% rise in posts endorsing violence since October 7, 2023.
Social media engagement with anti-American content from these groups has surged by over 2,000%, reaching 23 million views and 4.2 million interactions.
Many groups tied to this movement operate under nonprofit or charitable status, prompting legal scrutiny over potential violations of tax-exempt regulations.
The Alliance for Global Justice, a fiscal sponsor for some of these groups, has been stripped of its tax-exempt status by a congressional committee.
The movement increasingly equates U.S. law enforcement with the Israeli Defense Forces, fostering anti-police sentiment and calls for domestic unrest.
