The anti-Israel demonstrations that swept the UK following October 7 are part of a coordinated campaign by a global NGO network promoting Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) propaganda, Islamist narratives, and anti-Israel agendas, according to a 129-page report presented in the UK House of Lords.
NGO Monitor’s findings indicate that 80% of UK protests were orchestrated by organizations rather than grassroots movements, often using US-based charitable fronts to bypass transparency rules.
Key groups highlighted include Friends of Al Aqsa, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, and the Muslim Association of Britain, which have ties to extremist entities like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian regime.
Terror-Linked Organizations Receiving UK Funding
Nineteen NGOs with identified ties to extremist groups receive UK government funding through the FCDO or Gift Aid. At least 11 of these also get support from international entities like the EU, US, and Nordic countries.
Two organizations, including CAGE and Palestine Action, are utilizing cryptocurrency for fundraising activities.
Youth-targeted initiatives like Amnesty UK’s “Rise Up” training program, which teaches disruptive protest tactics focused on Israel, are entirely government-funded.
House of Lords Hearing on Protest Origins
Anne Herzberg, NGO Monitor’s legal advisor, stated during the hearing that the protests are not organic but instead driven by a network aiming to shift global policy through misinformation.
She emphasized: “These groups promote IRGC-linked propaganda and have direct connections to terrorism. Governments must treat these activities as a destabilizing threat and take investigative action.”
Lord Walney reinforced the need for regulatory reform: “Organizations exploiting charity status while linked to extremism should face stricter oversight. This report confirms the urgency of that action.”
