New York City organizers involved in the global uprising to destroy the State of Israel moved on Friday to join controversial “No Kings” protests scheduled for today, despite a peace deal reached between Israel and Hamas.

UAW Labor for Palestine and NYC Labor for Palestine quietly posted a call to action for “Palestinian Labor Solidarity Unity” to meet Saturday at 11 a.m. in Duarte Plaza at the corner of Grand Street and Canal Street in midtown Manhattan and then flock to #NoKings protests planned to protest President Donald Trump.

They are not alone. Across the country, anti-Israel blocs are dividing themselves into “No Kings” protests as “Palestinian unity” and “Unity Socialism,” putting their messages “front and center,” in the words of Seattle activists, “from Providence to Palestine.”

Experts say that this alignment confirms a strategic axis in the next phase of the global uprising, as it carries an anti-Israel message in any high-energy civil protest, even after Hamas agreed to a ceasefire, by linking “Free Palestine” to internal battles such as immigration, customs, police, and “fascism.”

Billionaire donor George Soros is said to fund several organizations leading the No Kings protests, such as Indivisible, whose founders, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, received a two-year, $3 million grant last year from Soros’ Open Society Foundations for “social welfare activities.” Details about the weaving of “Palestinian unity” into the “No Kings” protests raise new questions about how major Democratic donors like Soros funnel nonprofit dollars into a professional protest industry that is divisive, partisan, and potentially violates tax and nonprofit laws.

Behind the patriotic sentiments and images of the protests, a Fox News Digital investigation revealed that the movement’s polished “pro-democracy” brand hides a coordinated network of tax-exempt Democratic nonprofits, labor unions, political action committees, coalitions, and for-profit protest consultants, which includes some of the most ferocious anti-Israel activists, including groups Self-proclaimed socialists such as the Party of Socialism and Liberation, and the Democratic Socialists of Israel. America and Students for a Democratic Society.

According to A Public database Among the protest organizers, gathered by the Pearl Project, a journalism initiative, the protest’s “partners” include 265 mostly nonprofit organizations, including some anti-Israel groups, such as Jewish Voice for Peace, which are exploiting their nonprofit interests to wage political warfare against the incumbent president. Their nonprofit status protects them from paying taxes on most of their total annual revenue of $2.9 billion, even while they engage in partisan work they’re not supposed to. They claim they skirt, if not violate, tax and nonprofit laws, critics say. Event organizers did not return requests for comment.

“They call it ‘No Kings,’ but what they’ve built is an empire of tax-exempt organizations doing Democratic Party work on taxpayer money,” said Jenica Bounds, a computer scientist who runs one of the platforms. DataRepublican.comFollow the money on these organizations. “They use every excuse in the book, from immigration to Israel, to stirring up anger in America. There is nothing ‘charitable’ about their professional protest project, and they should be investigated for stirring up so much hatred in America behind the shield of ‘philanthropy.’”

Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has opened an investigation tracking money to anti-Israel groups, including some that would carry their protest signs to “No Kings” demonstrations.

“The Trump administration and the Republican Congress are committed to confronting this network of left-wing violence,” Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz told Fox News Digital.
