US Funded a Terrorism-Linked Nonprofit
Our government gave more than $1.5 million to a nonprofit group linked to pro-terror Palestinian universities. Is this really what our leaders should be doing with taxpayer funds?
From The Federalist. The Department of Education and the National Endowment for the HumanitiesĀ awarded $1,508,888 between 2010 and 2022 to a research institution with close ties to two Palestinian universities that are hotbeds for terrorism.

The Palestinian American Research Center (PARC) has maintained a close relationship for years with Birzeit University and An-Najah National University, located in the West Bank cities of Birzeit and Nablus, respectively. PARC has takenĀ atĀ leastĀ twoĀ delegationsĀ to both universities and even hosted aĀ conferenceĀ at Birzeit. Groups of Hamas affiliates have been arrested atĀ bothĀ schoolsĀ within the last several months, and Hamas-affiliated partiesĀ holdĀ majoritiesĀ on both universitiesā student councils.
In addition to the Department of Education and the National Endowment for the Humanities, PARC is funded via a federally-approved passthrough organization called Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC), which receives funding from the State Department, the U.S. Department of Education, the Smithsonian Institution, and private foundations, according to itsĀ website. ā¦
PARCās support for Birzeit University was made clear when it sent delegations there in May ofĀ 2022Ā andĀ 2023Ā āto foster connections and expand research collaboration.ā The school is also listed under āOrgs on Palestineā on PARCās website, implying that the group endorses the universityās scholarship.
Four of the 21 members listed on PARCās āWho We Areā page either currently work at or have previously worked at Birzeit University, one is codirecting a Birzeit University project, and an additional member earned a degree there. A PARC-sponsored panel at the 2023 Middle East Studies Association (MESA) AnnualĀ MeetingĀ was organized by a Birzeit University professor.
Less than two weeks before Hamas attacked on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,200 Israelis and kidnapping more than 200, Israeli security forces arrested eight suspects from aĀ terrorist cell at Birzeit University who had planned to carry out an āimmediateā terrorist attack. ā¦
In addition to its ties with Birzeit, PARC appears to maintain close ties with An-Najah National University, which HamasĀ callsĀ a āgreenhouse for martyrs.ā Hamas memberĀ Qais Adwan, former head of the An-Najah student council from the Islamic Bloc, also headed the Qassam Brigades in the northern West Bank.
In January 2024, Israeli security forces arrested nine students from anĀ An-Najah Hamas student cell. ā¦
Like Birzeit University, An-Najah is also listed on PARCās website under āOrgs on Palestine,ā implying that PARC recommends An-Najahās scholarship. ā¦

Dear God, you are everywhere and you know the truth. Why would the USA ever leave military equipment before leaving? Our tax paying citizens do not approve of this waste. Please help us as citizens to hold our government accountable.
In Jesus’s name Amen
The world would say āfreedom of speechā, the word of God says āguard your tongueā. For every word you say is a seed planted for your future crop. And that which you plan for others is what comes upon you.
So I pray for those who are so deceived as to speak their own destruction.
We decree this day the e nemy is required to r r turn 100 fold from every source stolen from the Body of Christ. By the Powe r and Authority of Jesus Christ and His shed Blood. Amen and Amen
Father in heaven, reveal to our governmental officials the foolishness of their decisions in giving money. Open their eyes. Change their hearts. Give them repentance for foolish acts that lead to destruction of our country and Israel. Open their eyes to truth and lead them to life in Jesus.
Lord of Life, You give us wisdom and understanding only through submission to your Spirit of Life and Love for all people. We pray for all who seek to promote their own self-centered agendas opposed to your perfect will, that they will be given your heart for justice and righteousness for the benefit of all. Let them receive your mercy, be it kind or severe, to lead them to repentance and healing.
In the Holy name of Yeshua. Amen.
FATHER, protect the innocent in USA from our evil swamp in DC… bring Your Anger on the evildoers only IN YESHUA’S HOLY NAME AMEN AMEN
