The ticket purchasing site for a concert tour by popstar Harry Styles titled “Together, Together” includes a donation link to a charity with ties to organizations that donate money indirectly to Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, and posted messages supporting the October 7 massacre, investigations found this week.
The ticket site gives concertgoers the option to donate either USD 1 or GBP 1, depending on location, to a partner organization called Choose Love.
Choose Love confirmed the partnership on their official Instagram page, saying they are “beyond excited” about it.
Choose Love refers to ‘ongoing genocide’ in Gaza on fundraising site
Choose Love, on their official website, refers to the situation in Gaza as an “ongoing genocide” that Palestinians are still experiencing, The Jerusalem Post found.
“Gaza is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis – families are struggling to survive amid destruction, severe shortages of medical care, food, and clean water, and a collapsed healthcare system,” its fundraising page for Gaza reads.
“This page is funding partners working in Palestine and in neighboring countries that Palestinians have fled to. At the heart of Choose Love’s approach is a commitment to center, resource, and amplify the voices of Palestinian-led organizations across Palestine as much as possible. Our partners know where your money is most urgently needed, they know how to keep people alive and which projects to invest in as they look to the future and help Palestinians survive and rebuild,” the website says.
“We won’t stop calling on governments to facilitate a permanent ceasefire that truly protects civilians, never blocks humanitarian access and enables the return of Palestinians to their homes,” it adds.
Choose Love has official partnership with Hamas-linked Palestine Children’s Relief Fund
The organization’s official page also refers to a partner organization, the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF).
“One of our partners, PCRF, is on the ground, providing urgent medical aid, food, and life-saving treatment to those in desperate need, including orphans and amputees,” it says.
PCRF has repeatedly been linked with Hamas, and senior members of the organization have expressed praise for Hamas terrorists and the October 7 massacre.
PCRF board member Ashraf Abu Issa shared a video on October 7, which called the “liberation of Palestine” a possibility.
Then-PCRF chairman Khaled Abughazaleh led a delegation that met with officials from the Hamas-run Health Ministry in the strip.
Additionally, the founder and former president of PCRF, Steve Sosebee, condemned what he called the “genocide” in Gaza in several interviews and social media posts in October 2023.
According to NGO Monitor, the PCRF partners with Islamic Relief Palestine (IRPAL), which is an affiliate of Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW).
Israel banned IRW in 2014 due to its funneling of funds to Hamas terrorists.
IRPAL also works with the Al-Falah Society, which is one of “Hamas’s charitable societies,” according to the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center.
IRPAL also works with the Gaza Zakat Committee (GZC), which is also known as the Islamic Zakat Society (IZS). IZS is run and managed by Hamas preacher Hazem Al-Sirraj, according to NGO Monitor.
PCRF also partners with Taawon (Welfare Association), which is funded by the Islamic Development Bank, which, in turn, funds Hamas hundreds of millions of dollars, NGO Monitor said.
PCRF has also run joint programs with several Hamas ministries to distribute goods in the Gaza Strip, NGO Monitor noted.
