The Rockefeller Brothers Fund has links to two groups the Israeli government designated "terrorist organizations," a review of public records by The Post shows.
Founded in 1940, the famous clan’s $1.3 billion fund — where Justin, Wyatt and David Rockefeller Jr. sit on the board of trustees — has shelled out more than $2.6 million since 2018 directly or indirectly to at least six anti-Israel organizations, several of which openly celebrated Hamas
...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...’ Oct 7 terrorist attack on the Jewish state.
Samidoun Paleostinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, whose logo was affixed to an ad promoting Wednesday’s rally, is a "fiscally sponsored project" of the nonprofit Alliance for Global Justice.
In August 2022, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund gave the Alliance $100,000.
Israel designated Samidoun a terrorist organization in February 2021 and Germany banned it last month.
Samidoun, founded in 2011, condemned the United Kingdom in 2021 for classifying Hamas a terrorist organization, and cheered the Oct 7 terrorist incursion:

...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
tax forms.
The Israeli government declared the group a terrorist organization in October 2021.
Undeterred, the fund issued a new $50,000 grant to the organization in 2022.
The fund gave at least $490,000 for "general support" to the Jewish Voice for Peace, according to public grant disclosures on their website since 2019.
Despite its name, the group is a notorious anti-Israel organization and a front for mainstreaming antisemitic ideas, critics say.
A Grand Central demonstration organized by the group in October led to more than 300 arrests.
"Jewish Voice for Peace is a radical anti-Israel and anti-Zionist activist group that advocates for the boycott of Israel and eradication of Zionism. JVP does not represent the mainstream Jewish community, which it views as bigoted for its association with Israel," according to the Anti-Defamation League.
The group has been banned by Columbia University for repeatedly holding "threatening" campus events, the school said last month.
The fund has also donated at least $515,000 to the The Tides Center, earmarked specifically to support Paleostine Legal, a pro-Paleostinian advocacy group, records show. The nonprofit trumpeted the Oct 7 attacks as "one of the most significant acts of Paleostinian resistance."
"It’s the height of irony that the Rockefeller Foundation supports the anti-Israel, Soros-funded Tides Foundation and many other antisemitic Israel-bashing groups, that are now holding ugly, disgusting, vile Jew-hating displays at the Christmas Tree event at the Rockefeller Center," said Mort Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America. "Just desserts I say."
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund also sent at least $710,000 to the Adalah Justice Project and $605,000 to the Middle East Policy Network (also known as al-Shabaka).
Both organizations celebrated Hamas’ Oct 7 attacks in public statements.
The fund defended the grants and noted that it donated to more mainstream Israel groups as well, such as J-Street and the The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute.
"We categorically reject any claim that our grantee organizations support, materially or ideologically, acts of terrorism," said spokeswoman Sarah Edkins "Advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion for people of all races, ethnicities, and genders is critical to our mission, and RBF is deeply concerned about indications of growing antisemitism."
Edkins added, "The Fund’s only relationship with Alliance for Global Justice is as the fiscal sponsor for one grantee of our Sustainable Development program, South Bronx Unite."

Israel's UN ambassador slams Soros for donations to 'pro-Hamas groups' seeking destruction of Jewish state[FoxNews] Report claims Soros organization has given millions to US groups who allegedly support terror group
Left-wing activist billionaire George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
is facing intense criticism from Israel’s ambassador to the U.N. for pumping over $15 million into a network of nongovernmental organizations that allegedly support Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",....
"George Soros’ donations to organizations that seek the destruction of the State of Israel as a Jewish state is shameful. However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package...
I am not surprised," Israeli ambassador Gilad Erdan told Fox News Digital.
"For years, Soros has backed and transferred money to organizations supporting BDS that want to isolate Israel," added Erdan, who has been leading the diplomatic campaign at the U.N. to spell out Hamas’ crimes against humanity. "They have never been about real peace or any solution to the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict."
BDS is an abbreviation for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign targeting the Jewish state. The German and Austrian parliaments classified BDS as an antisemitic movement that resembles the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses during the nascent phase of the Holocaust.
Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of "The Soros Agenda," told Fox News Digital, "Support of pro-Hamas, pro-Paleostinian groups in the U.S. is not limited to foreign entities. It also comes directly and indirectly from U.S.-based foundations. George and Alexander Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) is one of them."
"Soon after he settled in the White House, Biden appointed Robert Malley as his special envoy to Iran," Ehrenfeld wrote in her book. "Malley is the former president and CEO of the Soros-funded, Brussels-based International Crisis Group, which, like Soros, has been criticizing Israel and praising Hamas. "
The U.S. and the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
have designated Hamas a foreign terrorist organization. A number of recent probes claimed to show OSF funneled significant funds into virulently anti-Israel NGOs that are allegedly pro-Hamas.
Fox News Digital reported in October on Biden’s now-suspended Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for

envoy Malley for his push to engage with the U.S.-designated terrorist movements, Hamas and Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
-based Hezbollah.
"There's so much misinformation about them. ... I speak to them and my colleagues speak to them [Hamas], and now we may disagree with them, but they have their own rationality ... none of them are crazies," Malley said in the film "Cultures of Resistance®."
The New York Post noted last month that Soros has funneled over $15 million to groups who are anti-Israel and carry water for Hamas’ agenda.
OSF donated $13.7 million to the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,-based Tides Center, a number of whose recipients are nonprofits who reportedly justify the obliteration of the Jewish state.
Tides supports the Illinois-based Adalah Justice Project, which posted a photograph on Instagram of a bulldozer demolishing Israel’s security fence on the day of Hamas’ bloody slaughter with the caption, "Israeli colonizers believed they could indefinitely trap two million people in an open-air prison... no cage goes unchallenged."
When pressed in a number of Fox News Digital press queries if Soros’ philanthropic empire, OSF, considers Hamas a terrorist organization, a spokeperson for the OSF based in London refused to answer.
The OSF spokesperson, however, said the "Open Society Foundations utterly condemn the brutal attacks on Israeli citizens on Oct. 7. We grieve for the lives lost and injured and those taken hostage and their families. Like so many others around the world today we also feel the same pain for the Paleostinian citizens whose lives are now being lost in tragically mounting numbers because of the conflict."
The OSF spokesperson added, "There must be accountability for the war crimes and breaches of humanitarian law that have occurred."
When asked about the accusations that OSF funds pro-Hamas NGOs, the OSF spokesperson noted, "Any of our grantees have different perspectives and routinely disagree with each other, but our funding strategy, which has evolved over 20 years, is targeted towards working towards a secure future where rights and freedoms are respected. There is strict U.S. anti-terrorist legislation that determines which organizations a foundation like OSF can fund. We devote a lot of effort to ensuring full compliance."
In 2007, Soros wrote an opinion article for the Financial Times in which he slammed the U.S. and Israeli governments for not recognizing Hamas as the legitimate government of the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
Strip.
OSF has also funded two progressive NGOs called Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and IfNotNow. On the day Hamas massacred 1,200 people, JVP issued a statement that "the source of all this violence" was "Israeli apartheid and occupation — and United States complicity in that oppression."
The names of the Jewish NGOs are misleading, mainstream experts on antisemitism argue. The Jewish NGO Anti-Defamation League wrote that "Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) is a radical anti-Israel and anti-Zionist activist group that advocates for the boycott of Israel and eradication of Zionism."
The ADL added, "JVP does not represent the mainstream Jewish community, which it views as bigoted for its association with Israel." OSF has pumped at least $650,000 into the JVP’s coffers since 2017.
According to the ADL, the bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
chapter of IfNotNow circulated a flier that showed an image of a paraglider, a clear reference to the Hamas bully boyz who invaded Israel as part of their aerial campaign to wipe out Jews. IfNotNow is one of the principal organizers of the U.S.-based campaign against Israel since Oct. 7, noted the ADL. According to reports, IfNotNow received $400,000 from Soros’ OSF.
JVP, which was founded in California, supported the Hamas-animated "Great Return March" in 2018, a precursor to Oct. 7, which was a series of attempts by Paleostinians in Gaza to invade Israel by breaching its security border barrier.
OSF provides funds to obscure Jewish NGOs whose mission is to exploit their Jewish identity to turn the bashing of Israel (and support for terrorism) into a politically and socially correct campaign, according to critics like Joshua Muravchik.
Writing in the Jewish magazine Commentary, he noted, "Deploying its ’Jewish’ identity in attacking Israel is JVP’s métier, one might say its purpose. The cutting edge of this work, as the episode of SJP’s tweets illustrates, is to deflect accusations of antisemitism."
Soros’ son, Alex, recently took over the reins of his father’s $25 billion fortune. In June, Israel's minister of diaspora affairs and social equality, Amichai Chikli, told Fox News Digital, it "looks like the son is a replica of his father. We have no expectation that his son will be a big Zionist."
Fox News Digital reached out to JVP, The Tides Center and IfNotNow for comment. They did not immediately respond.
