“We’ve found over and over again that the law is quietly bankrolling extremist groups like the NDN Collective,” said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito.

A report issued by Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) reveals how a Biden administration law aimed at reducing inflation plans to provide millions in taxpayer dollars to radical nonprofit entities.

“Investment in Radical Activists: A Case Study on the NDN Collective Supported by the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act,” which was released on Tuesday, shows that the far-left group NDN Collective would receive $100 million through the Environmental Protection Agency as part of Democrats’ $1.6 trillion Inflation Reduction Act.

The research points to statements from the organization indicating its extremist views. These include calls to defund the U.S. police and military. NDN Collective also expresses alignment with the slogan, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which refers to the elimination of Israel.

The ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, Capito said that “in our oversight of the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, we’ve found over and over again that the law is quietly bankrolling extremist groups like the NDN Collective that openly advocate for anti-American, anti-police and antisemitic causes, which have nothing to do with protecting the environment.”

Other organizations Capito has spotlighted include the Climate Justice Alliance, the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice and the New York Immigration Coalition.

“The American people deserve to know the truth about how the Biden administration is spending their money, and we will continue to follow where that money goes, exposing the indefensible positions held by the groups that are benefiting along the way,” she said.

The organization, which has supported more than 15,000 lone soldiers over the past 15 years, was recognized for its contribution to Israeli society at a ceremony in Jerusalem.
Ari Hoffnung, of the Anti-Defamation League, told JNS that “we’re not just talking about Israeli bonds and Israeli companies. We’re talking about American companies that do business in Israel and with Israel.”
Granting the proposal Basic Law status would give it quasi-constitutional weight in Israel’s legal system.
“My dream is to travel to Beirut, and this dream is still alive, but only if Lebanon’s future is determined in Beirut, and not in Tehran,” he said.
The Turkish leader is “the last person who can preach morality to the State of Israel” said the Israeli premier, after Erdogan claimed Israel’s actions in Syria and Lebanon endanger Turkey.
“India and Israel share a unique friendship that continues to grow stronger with each passing year,” said Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
