Billionaire-Backed Philanthropy Network Vows No Future Grants to Palestinian Terror-Tied Group

A "progressive" charity linked to Palestinian terror is getting the boot from four major payment processors over its ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Per the Washington Examiner, Texas billionaires John and Laura Arnold, co-founders of Arnold Ventures, have donated $5,000 to the Arizona-based Alliance for Global Justice, which has been accused by some lawmakers of providing "material support" to the PFLP, a terrorist group that Israel says has ties to Hezbollah.

Meanwhile, ActBlue, PayPal, Stripe, and Deluxe have all removed the Alliance for Global Justice from their payment processing platforms.

The Arnolds' donation to the charity in 2020 was listed as an "employee-directed contribution" that was meant "to support racial justice initiatives," Arnold Ventures said earlier this year, per the Examiner.

Per the Houston Chronicle, the Arnolds are the first billionaires to sign on to the Global Citizen's "Give While You Live" campaign, which calls on the world's billionaires to give at least 5% of their wealth to a cause every year.
