Pro-Hamas Letter
In the wake of a terror attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023, Harvard University students signed an open letter blaming Israel. After the students received negative media coverage, the ANSWER Coalition jumped to their defense in an open letter titled: “Open letter against intimidation at Harvard: Defend the freedom to speak in support of Palestine!” Manolo de los Santos signed the letter. Excerpt:[3]
We stand together against the racist harassment and demonization of Pro-Palestine student activists at Harvard and elsewhere across the country. These attacks are designed to intimidate, weaken, and silence people’s right to speak out in support of the Palestinian people’s struggle against occupation and apartheid. Their educational and professional futures are being threatened and right wing political operatives have even rented a TV truck to drive around campus displaying the students’ faces. Some are even receiving death threats...”

Anti-Israel March on Washington
anti-Israel protest dated November 4, 2023
The ANSWER Coalition organized an anti-Israel protest dated November 4, 2023[2] with the following organizations featured on the flyer: Palestinian Youth Movement, U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), The People’s Forum, Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, American Muslim Alliance, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, and National Students for Justice in Palestine.
From a mass email dated October 20, 2023:
“The growing coalition of organizations mobilizing for the national march on Washington for Palestine is excited to announce that permits have been obtained! The demonstration will begin at 2:00 p.m. at Freedom Plaza (Pennsylvania Avenue between 13th and 14th streets). Tens of thousands will gather at this historic location in the heart of D.C. to raise our voices for justice.
Now is the time to stand with the besieged people of Palestine! Gaza is being bombed by the hour. Its people are denied food, water and electricity by Israel. Tens of thousands more people are likely to die. We must ACT! People are in the streets everyday in their local cities and towns. Now we must UNITE!
Hundreds of new endorsements are pouring in from across the country for this mass action. As Israel intensifies its genocidal assault on Gaza, more and more organizations and individuals are coming forward to stand with the Palestinian people. Initial co-sponsoring organizations include:
Palestinian Youth Movement
ANSWER Coalition
American Muslim Association
The People’s Forum
National Students for Justice in Palestine
Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition
U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN)
U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR)

The Tricontinental Information Center (TIC) or Tricontinental Institute for Social Research, was formed in 1967 after a worldwide Soviet/Communist conference known as the Tricontinental Conference was held in Havana, Cuba in 1966 to promote the worldwide “socialist revolution”.
The TIC was the U.S. affiliate of the Tricontinental organization, and was founded mainly by key members of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), including Michael Myerson and John Gallo.
Vijay Prashad is the Executive Director. . .
Not being deep thinkers, they haven’t thought this through.
Wonder how many of these Ham asses got here via our open borders.
He is a Cuban agent for all practical purposes.
From another thread:
...a radical NYC based organization known as The People’s Forum familiarized anti-Israel activists with Black Lives Matter protest techniques just hours before they stormed Hamilton Hall at Columbia University, and that the group was incited by Manolo De Los Santos–a radical activist organizer with deep ties to communist Cuba.
De Los Santos, who has long been the subject of past ADN investigations, has a lengthy, storied history of working with some of Cuba’s top communist party leaders including its president, Miguel Diaz-Canel. ...
