It is receiving almost no media attention, but a new bill in Congress threatens to remove non-profit status from all organizations in America that in any way criticize Israel.
House Resolution 6408 “To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to terminate the tax-exempt status of terrorist supporting organizations” and S. 1436 stipulate that non-profits will be expected to support Israel no matter what, or else face punishment by the IRS. Both companion bills were passed with bipartisan support from both Democrats and Republicans.
“This will give a single U.S. official authority to strip U.S. non-profits [sic] orgs of their non-profit status in a peremptory manner, w/ virtually no limitations, accountability, or meaningful recourse, based merely on his declaration they are “terrorist supporting organizations,” tweeted Lara Friedman (@LaraFriedmanDC), president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace.
“The explicit target of this legislation is orgs involved in / supporting protest against Israel’s war on Gaza, most notably SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine). But of course, if passed into law, it could be used against any tax-exempt org working for an objective disfavored by the Admin in power.”

Even in our own comment section there are folks that routinely drop a line about how those who oppose Israel’s genocide in Gaza are “terrorists,” which is the same position the Zionists in government hold as they chip away at Americans’ First Amendment rights.
By simply declaring all speech against Israel to be “antisemitic,” Zionists are able to brand anyone opposed to Israel’s genocide as basically a member of Hamas who hates Jews – including, bizarrely, Jewish people who also oppose what Israel is doing in the Middle East.
“The intent behind the bill — the targeting of groups engaged in protest for Palestinian rights / lives — has been made explicit – e.g., here’s the Chair of the House Ways & Means Committee when it was marking up / passing the bill last November,” Friedman further tweeted, referring to this hearing, which if you are interested can also be viewed below:
“Reminder: U.S. charitable organizations – like ALL U.S. entities – are already barred, by law, from providing material support for terror & already face intense scrutiny.”
There is still time to stop these bills from being passed and signed into law, but it is going to take a lot of grassroots effort since the media is all but ignoring their existence.
It would seem as though the government and media are working in cahoots to keep this particular legislation a secret since it will not directly affect most Americans in a noticeable way. It will, however, chip away at the rights of those who care about the innocent lives in Gaza that are being slaughtered by the Netanyahu regime.
“The goal of the new legislation is to dispense with the due process (incl the need for evidence) afforded under law to targeted groups, empowering a single U.S. official to act as prosecutor, judge, jury, & executioner of U.S. orgs whose viewpoints that official disagrees with,” Friedman warns.
“Those whose prioritize shutting down pro-Palestine protest above all else may view this legislation as excellent news. Those concerned with Palestinian rights / lives, and those who view with concern the rapid erosion of free speech / protest rights in the U.S., may disagree.”
“Either way, it is remarkable that this legislation – which has profound implications for protest / free speech in the U.S. – is so far going pretty much unnoticed.”
The Zionist lobby is in a panic over waning support for endless wars and genocide in Gaza. Learn more at IsraelCollapse.com.
