A Palestinian nonprofit received $78,000 from the United States Agency For International Development (USAID) despite board members’ ties to and/or support of terror groups, according to a report by NGO Monitor.

The Community Development & Continuing Education Institute (CDCEI), a Palestinian nonprofit designed to improve educational and socio-economic conditions, was given nearly $80,000 by USAID in a Civic Participation and Community Engagement grant from 2021 to 2023, according to USAID’s announcement. The aid was given despite CDCEI’s board chairman Imad Al-Zeer being photographed at a celebration event in 2019 with the U.S.-designated terrorist group Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), as well as terrorist support from other board members, according to NGO Monitor’s report.

The event was celebrating the 52th anniversary of PFLP’s founding and had a full minute of silence to commemorate the “souls of the martyrs,” and noted Al-Zeer’s attendance, according to the Al-Hadaf news outlet, which is affiliated with the PFLP.

“The festival, which was moderated by the student Donia Dandis and the student Rami Al-Ahmar, began with standing a minute of silence in honor of the souls of the martyrs, followed by the national anthem, and was attended by the Chairman of the University’s Board of Trustees, Professor Dawood Al-Zeer, Dr. Emad Al-Zeer, Vice President of the University, Dr. Nafeh Al-Hassan, Dean of the Faculty of Law, and Dr. Muhammad Sa’abneh, Dean of Student Affairs, many families of martyrs and prisoners, and a large crowd from the Labor Front and university students,” the article read.

Al-Zeer was photographed during the event next to signs and posters with the PFLP insignia and faces of associated terrorists on them, according to NGO Monitor’s report.

Al-Zeer has been the chairman since at least 2012, according to a post on the CDCEI’s Facebook page, and he is not the only one with questionable relations to terrorism. CDCEI’s deputy chairman Mike Salman has multiple posts on his own Facebook account praising terrorists who bombed and murdered Israelis as “hero martyrs.”

A former U.S. Army soldier was sentenced to 45 years in prison Friday after he plotted to ambush his unit and illegally shared classified information with a violent transnational extremist organization, of which he was a member.

Ethan Melzer “infiltrated” the U.S. Army in service of the Order of Nine Angles (O9A), a violent neo-Nazi, Satanist group that seeks the destruction of Western civilization, plotting a jihadist attack on his unit ahead of a planned deployment to Turkey, attorney Damian Williams said in a Department of Justice (DOJ) statement. Melzer pleaded guilty in June 2022 for attempted murder, providing material support to terrorists and disclosing protected national security information to O9A and jihadist members abroad.

“Today’s sentence holds Mr. Melzer accountable for an egregious and shameful act of betrayal against his own military unit and his country,” Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen said in the statement. “The Justice Department will use all available resources to disrupt and bring to justice those who would aid foreign terrorist organizations and use violence to harm our men and women in uniform or any American anywhere.”

Melzer sought from the beginning to penetrate the U.S. military and fulfill an “insight role” for O9A, to support the goal of establishing a new Satanic world order, according to the DOJ. He was tasked with gaining experience, committing violent acts and converting vulnerable members of the Army into O9A adherents.

Melzer deployed to Italy in 2019 with the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, where he consumed propaganda from neo-Nazi groups and the Islamic State, including footage of jihadist attacks on U.S. military units, according to the DOJ.

Acting USA Strauss: As alleged, Ethan Melzer, a private in the U.S. Army, was the enemy within. He allegedly attempted to orchestrate a murderous ambush on his own unit, unlawfully revealing its location, strength & armaments to a neo-Nazi, anarchist, white supremacist group.

Melzer’s commanders informed him in early May 2020 he would complete an additional deployment to guard an isolated and highly sensitive military base, according to the DOJ. In preparation for his duties, he received access to classified briefings, learning the purpose and layout of the military base — information he funneled to O9A conspirators.

He also used the time to devise what he described as a “mass casualty” ambush attack on the troops who would be guarding the military base with him, according to the DOJ. Melzer and members of O9A’s “RapeWaffen Division” recruited an alleged Al-Qaeda member to assist with the attack, and Melzer promised to provide the terrorist with coordinates, real-time frequencies for the Army’s radio communication channels, and other details necessary to “essentially cripple” the unit.

“[Y]ou just gotta understand that currently I am risking my literal free life to give you all this” Melzer told his co-conspirators, according to DOJ, adding that he “expected results.”

“I would’ve died successfully … cause another 10 year war in the Middle East would definitely leave a mark,” he continued.

A new bill in Texas filed on Feb. 23 by state Rep. Steve Toth would force internet service providers (ISPs) within the state to restrict websites that contain information about accessing abortion, as well as make it a crime to host websites that assist people in accessing abortion.

The bill would block the ability to obtain abortion drugs online and the bill specifically lists six websites that would need to be banned: aidaccess.org, heyjane.co, plancpills.org, mychoix.co, justthepill.com, and carafem.org. These websites all have “information or material intended to assist or facilitate efforts to obtain an elective abortion or an abortion-inducing drug,” which is the content the bill states ISPs must block.

The bill would rely on individuals to discover and report violations to ISPs to ask them to block the websites or information. It also leans on allowing citizens to bring civil lawsuits against services that break this law.

This is not the first bill of its kind, as South Carolina lawmakers introduced one that has some similar language, focused more broadly about restricting abortion rather than specifically focusing on the internet.

A clause in the bill states that it does not prohibit speech or conduct protected by the First Amendment, though the bill has raised free speech concerns.

Following the Texas Heartbeat Act, multiple tech companies removed pro-life websites and funded out-of-state abortions, though that was imposed by private companies rather than the government.
