The New York State Assembly Bill Prohibits Charitable Organizations From Supporting the Illegal Activities of Israeli Settlements in Occupied Territories

New York Socialist legislators proposed a law that would prohibit charitable organizations in New York from funding the occupation's illegal settlements. A number of New York State registered charities are sending at least $60 million a year to Israeli settlement organizations, which then use that funding to continue the history of expulsion and dispossession of Palestinians. The bill's introduction was met with immediate denunciation by establishment Democrats.
