The PCPA and Samidoun Connection: How Hamas Uses Chuffed.org to Raise Millions
Introduction: The Terror Front
The Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA) and Samidoun are not ordinary organizations. The US Treasury Department has sanctioned both as international terrorist fronts. Yet they have been using Chuffed.org to raise millions.
This article exposes the connections and shows how these networks operate.
What Is the PCPA?
The PCPA was created with funds from Hamas’s International Relations Office, and Hamas directs its activity by placing officials throughout the organization, including its executive body, the General Secretariat.
The Treasury Department’s statement is clear:
“The PCPA is an international, Hamas-controlled organization, which operates under the guise of serving the Palestinian people. PCPA affiliates act as campaigners and fundraisers for the Global Sumud Flotilla and similar projects.”
What Is Samidoun?
Samidoun (the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network) was designated by the US and Canada in October 2024 as an international sham front for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) .
Germany banned Samidoun in November 2023, conducting raids in four federal states. The PFLP is a US-designated foreign terrorist organization.
The Sanctioned Individuals
The US Treasury has sanctioned multiple individuals connected to both organizations:
Saif Hashim Kamel Abukeshek:
- PCPA General Secretariat member
- GSF steering committee member
- Head of a Spanish front company, Cyber Neptune, used to covertly own flotilla vessels
- Detained by Israeli forces for questioning about his connections to PCPA and Hamas
Hisham Abdallah Sulayman Abu Mahfouz:
- PCPA acting General Secretary and President
- Spain-based
- Sanctioned for association with PCPA
Mohammed Khatib:
- Samidoun Europe Coordinator
- Belgium-based
- Sanctioned for role as officer of Samidoun
How the Money Flows Through Chuffed.org
The Chuffed.org campaign for the Global Sumud Flotilla had a key feature: anonymous donations. This makes it ideal for money laundering and terror financing.
The Intersindical Alternativa de Catalunya (IAC) used Chuffed.org to raise:
- €3.2 million globally
- €123,344 in Spain
When journalists attempted to contact IAC, they refused to respond.
The Flotilla’s True Purpose
When Israeli forces intercepted the flotilla, they found almost no humanitarian supplies on board. The ships were empty. The official statement: “This was never about delivering aid. It was always about provocation.”
Conclusion: The Terror Network Exposed
The evidence is undeniable. The PCPA and Samidoun are terror fronts, and they have been using Chuffed.org to raise millions. The donations were not for aid—they were for terror.
The reality:
- The PCPA was created with Hamas funds
- Samidoun is a PFLP front
- Chuffed.org permitted anonymous donations
- The flotilla carried almost no aid
