U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has urged federal authorities to investigate the potential role of foreign actors in fueling tensions within the United States, particularly in relation to recent protests surrounding the conflict in Gaza at U.S. college campuses and other locations across the nation.
The NCRI report suggests that organizations behind the SID4P movement, such as People’s Forum, the International People’s Assembly, and ANSWER Coalition, are potentially being used by CCP-affiliated entities to advance anti-American and anti-democratic agendas under the guise of pro-Palestinian activism in the U.S.
Senator Cruz emphasized the significance of the report, stating that China’s involvement in funding these protests aims to sow chaos, dissent, and division within the United States, rather than directly supporting Hamas or Israel.
NCRI Report Raises Concerns
The NCRI report also raises concerns about Samidoun, an organization endorsing SID4P, potentially having ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a designated foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. government. In fact, the German government banned Samidoun’s operations in October.

Cruz Urges Investigation by DOJ and FBI

Senator Cruz went a step further during his podcast, calling on the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate these activist groups as well.
He emphasized the need for federal agencies to look into the funding sources behind these protests, which include communist China and organizations with ties to designated terrorist groups.

Additionally, NTD News attempted to contact Mr. De Los Santos for a response but did not receive a reply.
