A New York woman accused of leading a radical extremist group and posing with hand grenades in front of a Hamas flag has been arrested after allegedly funneling tens of thousands of dollars to a Palestinian terrorist organization.
Catherine Beth Washburn, 37, of Irondequoit, a suburb of Rochester, is charged with attempting to provide material support to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
Washburn was the leader of the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation (DAMPL), a radical organization formed in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, according to the Justice Department.
The federal complaint noted that DAMPL rejects peaceful protests, opting instead for "direct action," including property destruction and acts of sabotage against entities it associates with Israel.
Communications recovered by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force revealed messages to a person claiming to be an active PIJ fighter in Gaza, where Washburn allegedly said she hated Jewish people "very much" and wished Israel "would disappear."
"I wish every day were October 7th," Washburn is accused of writing in one exchange. "If I lived in Gaza, I would fight alongside the resistance."
Later, she allegedly said she felt "excited every time I see news of the killing of an occupation soldier."
U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo said Washburn went to "great lengths" to finance violence, driven by "her self-described hate of Israel and Jewish people."
Financial records show she sent roughly 80 cryptocurrency transfers totaling more than $30,000 to an account used by the PIJ fighter.

Just a Slave to islam ,LOL
I thought the headline was going to tell us she won her primary race. That must be another “New York” woman.
AWFUL’s being awful.
She wishes she was in Gaza - that can be provided - we’ll chip in for the plane ticket...
SKIP THE TRIAL - DO NOT PASS GO - Straight to prison!! Make it hurt! Doesn’t the government own any property somewhere - like Devil’s Island - where these “sorts” can be incarcerated never to be seen/heard from again?
Washburn is accused of writing in one exchange. “If I lived in Gaza, I would fight alongside the resistance.”
While they rape and torture her
Are there any reasons not to wipe out women entirely and replace with male-only clones that can have sex AI bots?
IT’s dire. They’re all hateful man hating communists now.
.
Another mentally ill MoFo.
“If I lived in Gaza, I would fight alongside the resistance.”
I see an easy solution, send her over there. Just another stupid, white, American woman.
OMG The Washburn family is an old Boston Brahman family going back to the Mayflower.
There are a lot more just like her; a product of “higher” education.
Hopefully, this is just the start of a long string of arrests.
if she’s convicted, give her a choice of 20 years in a USA prison or 20 years living in Gaza ...
Are democrats running Monster Washburn for office under their 'BIG TENT' bullsh*t party crapola line?
Sure you would. You would be dead in an instant. You just can't hate these people enough.
If we are unwilling to do our duty, maybe we should not complain...
“Catherine Beth Washburn” doesn’t sound like a Palestinian name!
I can’t find picture of her, however.
I guess that’s her picture—in disguise.
