New Federal Election Commission filings revealed that the campaign for U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar sent money to an anti-Israel nonprofit group connected with a “Terrorist University.”
The filings reviewed by Fox News Digital showed that the Squad member’s campaign sent over a thousand dollars to the Palestine House of Freedom, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit known as “Dar Alhurriya,” in Arabic.
The group, headquartered a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol building, is “dedicated to the liberation of Palestine” and “the dismantling of apartheid in Palestine and the establishment of a free, democratic state from the river to the sea,” according to its website.
Claiming that Israel is “operating as an apartheid state,” the website says its goal is to “embark on an aggressive educational campaign targeting everyone from lawmakers, staffers, the media, to the general public” in order to “show how dismantling apartheid and establishing a free democratic Palestine from the River to the Sea with equal rights, is the path to peace and will benefit all parties involved.”
Omar’s campaign, Ilhan for Congress, reportedly sent the non-profit $1,559.25 in September for “event tickets.”
All the proceeds from the group’s fundraiser, “From Birzeit and Beyond: How academia shapes resistance and resilience,” reportedly went to Birzeit, according to a flyer for the June event.
According to Fox News:
The Palestine House of Freedom made headlines earlier this year for hosting a fundraiser in June for the Palestinian Birzeit University, a school that has alleged terrorist ties and has seen its student council elections favor the pro-Hamas wing of student council members, according to The Washington Reporter.
The university’s student council has long been dominated by the Hamas-affiliated Al-Wafaa bloc and has been previously dubbed, “Terrorist University.” Student campus parades have also reportedly included people marching with mock suicide bomb vests and rockets, as reported by Memri TV.
Several student council elections at Birzeit have reportedly been won by the Hamas-affiliated Al-Wafaa bloc, according to the Fox News Digital review.
“After the 2023 victory, a top Hamas operative reportedly told the Middle East Monitor the victory represents an ‘extension’ of the movement,” the outlet reported.
Earlier this year, Harvard announced it would not be renewing its cooperation agreement with Birzeit, and in September, Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg, R-Mich., joined Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., in sending a letter to the university.
“Harvard was reportedly due, by the end of spring 2025, to announce whether it would permanently end its partnership with Birzeit University, an institution whose student body overwhelmingly supports Hamas. The Committee is concerned that Harvard has not made its decision, if any, public,” the letter stated.
