Investigative reporter Gabe Kaminsky lends support to Steven Mosher’s argument that China is part of a China-Iran-Hamas axis of evil (“Chinese Communist Party-allied group behind Hamas-friendly protests in US,” Washington Examiner, November 9, 2023). Kaminsky writes:
The People’s Forum, which dubs itself “a movement incubator for working class and marginalized communities to build unity across historic lines of division at home and abroad,” is co-leading a “Shut it down for Palestine” event Thursday [November 9, 2023] in Manhattan and marched in Washington, D.C., last Saturday with tens of thousands of protesters boosting Hamas, whose Oct. 7 attacks against the Jewish state have since killed more than 1,400 Israelis. That same charity hosts events with entities downplaying China’s genocide against ethnic Uyghurs and has pocketed millions of dollars combined from groups tied to a reported “Chinese propaganda” influence operation, according to tax forms reviewed by the Washington Examiner….
“Their funding train depends in part on American progressives entrenched in the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda apparatus,” said Michael Sobolik, senior fellow for Indo-Pacific studies at the American Foreign Policy Council think tank. “That this organization is now organizing anti-Israel political demonstrations in America shouldn’t surprise anyone. It should, however, be a wake-up call to Americans, many of whom are unwittingly parroting Beijing’s talking points about Israel and Gaza.”
The People’s Forum has applauded the “revolutionary struggle” of China under Xi Jinping and hosted events with Code Pink, the supposedly antiwar group that averts its gaze from China’s genocide of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
The New York Times has reported that the People’s Forum apparently shares an address with the Chinese propaganda outlet Dongsheng News on China. In the view of millionaire and pro–Chinese Communist Party propagandist Neville Roy Singham, a funder of People’s Forum, Dongsheng “provides unique progressive coverage of China that has been sadly missing.”
