Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is a “sham charity that serves as an international fundraiser for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization.”
PFLP is ostensibly a Marxist group, but serves the jihad imperative.
“Yale terminates scholar’s contract for alleged ties to terrorist organization,” by Sophia Vitter, College Fix, March 28, 2025:
Yale Law School has terminated the contract of research scholar Helyeh Doutaghi over alleged ties to a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, Samidoun.
The Buckley Beacon independent student newspaper reported Friday that the move comes after she was put on administrative leave March 5.
Alden Ferro, a spokesperson for Yale Law School, told the Beacon: “Over the last three weeks Yale has repeatedly requested to meet with Doutaghi and her attorney to obtain clarifying information and resolve this matter. Unfortunately, she has refused to meet to provide any responses to critical questions, including whether she has ever engaged in prohibited activity with organizations or individuals who were placed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list (‘SDN list’).”
“As a result of her refusal to cooperate with this investigation, Ms. Doutaghi’s employment with Yale — which was set to expire this April — has been terminated effective immediately.”
The terror-ties allegations were first reported by the Jewish Onliner on March 2 and quickly picked up by the Beacon.
Doutaghi had been a deputy director of the Law and Political Economy Project at Yale Law School since Sep 2023. Her position was set to expire shortly.
The U.S. Treasury Department stated that Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is a “sham charity that serves as an international fundraiser for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization” in a 2024 news release designating the group as a terror organization.
Doutaghi was identified by Samidoun itself as a “doctoral student of international law and a member of the international Samidoun network” in a July 2022 article….

The way that PFLP is different from Fatah or Hamas is that it’s the only Pali group in which Pali Christians join. In this case, “Christian” obviously meaning nominal, rather than practicing Christians – those born to Christian families and not ex-muslims
Anyway, good to see Ivy League finally cracking down on some, if not all jihadists

They do have muslim members. However, that group is Marxist, and therefore, the only one open to anti-Israel Christians
Candace Owens should go there and join them. She was a Marxist before she apparently became a conservative, so it should be no big deal

Her job title at Yale law school sounds like a completely made up, Do nothing Job. I wonder how much she was getting paid to do nothing? (But spread Islamist propaganda)
Rick Gordon says
Bravo! I am very surprised that Yale would do such a thing – given their political persuasion of the last few decades. Maybe it’s a turning point!

Let’s hope so and encourage the removal of foreign money pouring into our school system.

Every Muslims is expected to be a terrorist for Allah(Quran 9:5,29,111 and more). Because Islam is a Criminal Enterprise, Western Muslims seek government protection from criticism via free speech and expression for Muslim Terrorist Attacks and Violence against Non-Muslims. Thus, Western Muslims seek to expand Islamic Law into the Non-Muslim Legal Systems and to advance Islam’s totalitarian, discriminatory goals to conquer the West. Consequently, Islam promotes a limitless, terroristic, Muslim war against unbelievers for the purpose of advancing the True Faith, ISLAM, when Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with THEIR MONEY AND THEIR LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” See also Islamic Law Manual – “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0- and more.
