An anti-Israel organization that has received “millions” in donations from the Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund refused to apologize for a video riddled with what critics called “Nazi rhetoric” that went viral this week.
Executive director of The People’s Forum, Manolo De Los Santos, said that to label the group as “antisemitic” is a “propaganda trick by apologists for genocide” adding that “we will not apologize.”
A video of De Los Santos making, which was decried as a “chilling” speech calling for a “blow to destroy” Israel, sent the internet into a tailspin on Monday.
“When we finally deal that final blow to destroy Israel, when the state of Israel is finally destroyed and erased from history, that will be the single most important blow we can give to destroying capitalism and imperialism in our lifetime,” De Los Santos said in front of a cheering crowd.
De Los Santos, however, said Thursday that calls to dismantle Israel were not dissimilar to attacks on Apartheid in South Africa, adding that “for us, Zionism is synonymous with colonialism and racism.”
*** Shortly after the video of De Los Santos went viral, it was revealed that close to $20 million in donor advised funds were funneled into the organization from the Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund. *** Goldman Sachs has no relationship with The People’s Forum and does not share its values,” Global Head of Corporate Communications, Tony Fratto told the Post.
An insider with knowledge of the fund revealed to the Post that the last donations to the People’s Forum were made in 2019 and the person who advised these payments is no longer a client with Goldman Sachs. ***

“Goldman Sachs has no relationship with The People’s Forum and does not share its values”
And yet does see fit to give it 20 million dollars.
How does the internet go into a tailspin and nobody even notices it?
Karey Dye’s LinkedIn’s page says otherwise.
So let me see if I get this right...
Goldman Sachs, a firm founded in 1869 by Jewish immigrants is now giving millions to pro-Nazi anti-Semite organizations?
You need to study what “donor-advised funds” are. Not that I approve of this nonsense.
But Donor Advised Funds are a loophole that rich people use to avoid taxes on capital gains, and get large charitable contribution deductions.
In fact, DAF have become so successful and popular that many middle-class taxpayers have been able to benefit. And I even remember in the last year or two a congress-critter was getting overwrought at the “abusiveness” of the strategy.
The worst enemy of Jews are the non secular Jews.
Israel funded Hamas.
muslim arab settler colonialists should return to Arabia from which they invaded the indigenous Jews’ native land.
Free Israel!
Citation, please.
The supposed intent was to weaken the PLO, create a power struggle.
Obviously it didn’t work out well.
The US armed, trained, and funded the Mujahideen against the Soviets.
Also didn’t work out so well, considering that was bin Laden’s beginning.

It rather seems Israel made a mistake.
Correct?
That would be my analysis.
