Terror Links, Foreign Funding and Highly Coordinated Activism
by Robert Williams • Gatestone Institute • September 2, 2026
- “Today’s anti-Western influence networks are global, coordinated, top-down, well-funded and sanitised. Viewed graphically, they resemble a series of concentric circles. At their centre sit hostile state actors (Iran, China, Russia, Qatar), terrorist organisations (Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda), and extremist religious-political movements (Muslim Brotherhood). Around them operate charities, campaign groups, protest movements and advocacy organisations that can provide legitimacy, amplify propaganda and serve as vectors of transmission for extremist agendas to society more broadly. Some of these groups are directly funded by hostile actors, or in turn, divert publicly raised donations back to them.” — From the NGO Monitor report “Imported Influence,” July 8, 2026.
- In the UK, the same six organizations – Stop the War Coalition, Friends of Al-Aqsa, the Muslim Association of Britain, the Palestinian Forum in Britain, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament – were involved in 32 out of the 40 protests mapped by NGO Monitor.
- “Many of these groups are overtly linked to Hamas and other terrorist actors. It is time to see these demonstrations as a significant destabilizing threat and for governments to investigate these networks.” — Anne Herzberg, legal advisor to NGO Monitor, speaking at the UK House of Lords, July 8, 2026.
- “[T]he response too often appears to be more security funding, barriers and police protection, rather than addressing the root causes of this hate and violence.” — From the NGO Monitor report “Imported Influence,” July 8, 2026.
- Why is the British government arresting more than 30 British citizens on average each day, including mothers and pensioners, for mostly harmless social media posts, while activists with links to terrorist groups working against those very societies are left free to unleash their worst?
Since the beginning of the pro-Hamas protests, which began as their October 7, 2023 atrocities in Israel were still unfolding, the media has been driving the notion that these are spontaneous, grassroots protests. According to a new explosive report by the acclaimed international organization NGO Monitor: Dream on.
“As thousands of Hamas invaders murdered, raped and kidnapped men, women and children across southern Israel on 7 October 2023, mass anti-Israel demonstrations began appearing on the streets of London, New York and other Western cities. Despite their being thousands of miles apart and spread across the globe, marchers carried the same professionally printed signs and shouted the same slogans and chants….
“The protests have been widely portrayed in the media as grassroots and spontaneous. In reality, they are professionally organised and are part of a well-funded, coordinated global advocacy network.”
