WFB: A major credit card company severed ties late last month with an organization accused of abetting Palestinian terrorism and backing economic boycotts against Israel.
Discover Card will no longer process donations to the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ), a left-wing advocacy organization that provides funding to the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, a group that works to free Palestinians from the Israeli prison system. Discover Card froze donations after Israel designated Samidoun as a terror group earlier this year for its alleged ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), according to information provided to the Washington Free Beacon by the Zachor Legal Institute, which has been pressing companies to cut ties with these organizations for several months.
Discover’s decision to cut ties with an organization accused of financially supporting Palestinian terrorism comes as online donation portals have increasingly come under scrutiny. In January, the online donation processing company Stripe cut ties with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Last month, ActBlue, the Democrats’ online fundraising platform, booted former New York Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo days before he resigned office in the wake of a sex scandal.
ActBlue, in particular, has come under criticism for facilitating donations to terror-tied groups that back the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, which wages economic warfare on Israel. Rep. Tim Burchett (R., Tenn.) petitioned the Justice and Treasury Departments in March to investigate ActBlue for its work with these anti-Israel groups. more
Huh … the AFGJ … I was sure it was either the FBI or the US Army …

Good on them. I have a long relationship w/Discover, it is my go to card. Most of the rest are available, but not used except to take advantage of no interest promotions.
This is good but I’m trying to recall a good cause Discover banned maybe a year ago. Not allowed to use your card to donate to. Also I can’t remember if they came out in support of lgbt. Anybody remember?
This is the first time I remember one of these funding bans supporting sanity instead of evil.
They took away the brother-fuggers card?

Thank you bobh.
Don’t believe a word of this. Discover is actually on George Soros’ evil ‘friends list’ as conspirators along with multitudes of other credit entities and corporations, including PayPal.
