GoFundMe closed Abbas Hamideh’s account without an explanation.
By United with Israel Staff
Abbas Hamideh, head of the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, an activist group that advocates for the destruction of the Jewish State and supports terrorism, blamed “criminal Zionists” for the group’s shut-down by the fundraising platform GoFundMe.
Hamideh, an associate of BDS-promoting US congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, publicized the closing on Saturday and published anti-Semitic rants on his Twitter accounty.
Here’s one:
We are getting a glimpse of who controls American corporations. You gotta love the stupidity by having them do all the work and investigations for us. We now know @gofundme is controlled by Criminal Zionists. What other corporations need to to be EXPOSED? America you see this? 🇵🇸 https://t.co/9M36RO7C5s

“I applaud GoFundMe’s decision, which makes things just that bit harder for this peddler of hate, anti-Semitism, and terror support.” David Lange, founder and manager of Israellycool, who broke the story, told United With Israel.
Recognizing Tlaib’s relationship with Hamideh, Lange added, “Commiserations to congresswoman Rashida Tlaib on this latest setback for her friend”
The GoFundMe account sought to raise funds for the “Al-Awda, Right of Return Movement.” GoFundMe did not give details as to why they closed the account.
Apparently @gofundme doesn’t want to do business with @AlAwdaROR. We are an American non-profit (501c3) organization advocating for Palestinian Refugees. They refuse requests to disclose reasons of why they shut down a legitimate fundraiser. Could it be because we advocate #BDS? pic.twitter.com/GC0YO93sUH

Hamideh included a post by Lange about the shutdown. The Israeli-hater defiantly wrote that his organization, which has existed in the United States for 20 years, cannot be shut down.
What the Zionists need to know is you can’t shutdown AL-AWDA. AL-AWDA is not just an organization that we have built in America for the last 20 years. AL-AWDA (THE RETURN) is etched in every Palestinian’s heart, mind & soul. That’s why we built it-it is the PALESTINIAN STRUGGLE! pic.twitter.com/DFLTpyLUqB
