The Democratic software platform ActBlue is silent on whether it will continue to allow Black Lives Matter Grassroots to fundraise through its services following the major group sympathizing with Hamas after its deadly attack against Israel.
Over 1,400 Israelis have been killed since Hamas unexpectedly attacked the Jewish state, while 32 Americans are dead and 11 are unaccounted for, according to U.S. and Israeli officials. Hamas is considered to have over 200 hostages, the Israel Defense Forces said Thursday. Hamas alleges that over 3,700 are dead in Gaza.
Various BLM chapters across the U.S. have expressed anti-Israel sentiment this month, including in Chicago, where a group has since tried to walk back its move to share an"I stand with Palestine" graphic on social media showing a terrorist in a paraglider. Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio on Tuesday called on PayPal to shut down BLM Chicago's account, though spokeswoman Caitlin Girouard for the payment processor declined to comment.
