On Tuesday, letters were sent by Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, who had previously demanded that the Internal Revenue Service revoke the tax-exempt status of these organizations after the committee's investigation into the tax-exempt sector in the United States exposed that the groups were "Operating outside their tax-exempt purpose, fueling antisemitic activities, and potentially engaging in activity that violates both state and federal law." The letter to the IRS stated that the organizations should have their tax-exempt status revoked "For fueling chaos here in America and possibly terrorism abroad." Letters were sent to the Attorney Generals of Washington, New York, Virginia, Arizona, California, and Texas.
The letter sent to Washington Democratic Attorney Bob Ferguson, who is currently running for governor, discussed the case against The Palestine Chronicle, a non-profit media company based in the state that employed a Hamas terrorist as a journalist who held Israeli hostages in his family's Gaza home.
In July, a letter was sent by Israel's consul general asking Ferguson to investigate a non-profit media company based in the state after it was revealed that one of the outlet's "Journalists" was holding Israeli hostages in his home in Gaza who were kidnapped on Oct 7, 2023, by Palestinian terrorists.
The consul general's office confirmed that Ferguson has still not responded to the letter.
The suit stated, "Under the leadership of Defendants Ramzy Baroud and John Harvey, Defendant Palestine Chronicle employed Hamas Operative Aljamal and offered him its US platform to write and disseminate Hamas propaganda, ultimately subsidized, through its status as a tax-exempt charitable organization, by US taxpayers." In July, Chairman Smith, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx, and Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer sent a letter to the Department of Justice demanding that the agency investigate The Palestine Chronicle and People Media Project for potential crimes related to providing material support for terrorism.
In a letter to the New York Attorney General New York State Democrat Letitia James, the committee referred cases on the Westchester People's Action Coalition and The People's Forum for fueling antisemitism by aiding and abetting riots in the US and on college campuses.
The committee's letter to Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta in California asked for an investigation into Jewish Voice for Peace and the Tides Foundation for aiding and abetting riots as well as Gaza camps on college campuses across the US. In May, it was revealed that many of the financial backers of the far-left Gaza camps are also big donors to Joe Biden and other Democrat candidates and causes.
