'Post' inquiry leads to closure of French BDS terrorism group's PayPal
2020-06-12
[Jpost] French organization lists Paleostinian terrorist entity as partner, glorifies Leila Khaled.

The giant American online payment service PayPal closed the account of the pro-BDS French organization Collectif Paleostine Vaincra because of its ties to the US and EU sanctioned terrorist organization the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine (PFLP), The Jerusalem Post learned on Wednesday.

The PayPal notice on the website of Collectif Paleostine Vaincra reads: "This recipient cannot receive money at this time." After a notice that funds can no longer be transferred, the account is typically shut down.

On Tuesday, the Post verified that donors could still continue to donate money via PayPal to Collectif Paleostine Vaincra. When asked about the account, a PayPal spokesperson told the Post that "We’re unfortunately unable to comment on any specific accounts, but our team will review and take appropriate action as needed."

PayPal has a robust enforcement policy of cracking down on organizations that raise funds for terrorism or the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS) campaign targeting the Jewish state. Under La Belle France’s anti-discrimination law, the advocacy of BDS against Israel or Israelis is defined as bias based on national origin.

Collectif Paleostine Vaincra lists the PFLP as one of its partners on its website and declared the convicted PFLP terrorist Leila Khaled a "Member of Honor." Khaled lives in Jordan.

Khaled was a key member of the terrorist cell that hijacked TWA Flight 840 in 1969. A year later, she participated in the attempted hijacking of EL AL Flight 219.

The PFLP has recently developed a stronger alliance with the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran. The US classifies Iran’s regime as the worst state-sponsor of international terrorism.

The Collectif Paleostine Vaincra appears to be in violation of both La Belle France’s anti-terrorism and anti-discrimination laws. The Post sent numerous press queries to Collectif Paleostine Vaincra. The organization’s twitter account states it is based in Toulouse
...lies on the banks of the River Garonne, half-way between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The Toulouse metropolitan area is the fourth-largest in La Belle France...
. 1,235 people follow the BDS entity on twitter as of Wednesday.

The Post investigative series into BDS organizations and their funding streams has led to the closure of over 20 bank and online payment accounts since 2016.

The account closures of the BDS entities have spanned Ireland, Germany, Austria, the US and La Belle France.
