Joe Dinkin

On February 28, 2026, while Dinkin was serving as WFP's communications director, the group published on its website a letter titled: "WFP: 'NO WAR WITH IRAN.'" The letter was in opposition to the American and Israeli war against Iran, which WFP labeled a "dangerous and illegal war that will put working people here at home and across the world in grave danger..."

On February 28, 2026, the U.S. and Israel preemptively attacked the Islamic Republic of Iran to stop it from developing nuclear weapons and from expanding its missile capabilities. They also destroyed its navy and other critical security infrastructure. The ensuing war lasted 38 days, ending with a ceasefire on April 8, 2026. During the war, Iran fired nearly 650 ballistic missiles at Israel, killing 28 Israeli civilians and foreign nationals and injuring close to 7,800 Israelis.

On May 31, 2020, while Dinkin was serving as WFP's communications director, the group posted on X: "Defund the police."

On April 24, 2024, while Dinkin was serving as WFP's communications director, Mother Jones reported that alongside BDS groups like the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), WFP "formed" Reject AIPAC, a coalition of "progressive groups working together to take on the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)..."

The stated mission of AIPAC, which is composed of American citizens, is to “strengthen, protect and promote the U.S.-Israel relationship in ways that enhance the security of the United States and Israel.”

The implication that AIPAC buys political support for Israel has been described as playing into “anti-Semitic tropes” that led to “centuries of stereotypes about Jews using money to control the world.”

On May 29, 2026, WFP published on its website an update regarding their position on the candidates running for New York's 10th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

WFP's update read, explaining why it didn't support one of the candidates: "He’s one of the top recipients of AIPAC money and continues voting to send unconditional military aid to Israel and [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, even as they’re committing a genocide..."

The term “genocide” was coined in 1942 and first used at the Nuremberg Trials of Nazi war criminals. Since Israel's founding in 1948, anti-Israel activists have accused Israel of "genocide" in an attempt to compare Jews to Nazis and delegitimize the creation of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel.

On April 24, 2024, while Dinkin was serving as WFP's communications director, Mother Jones reported that Maurice Mitchell, WFP's national director, "mobilized many...groups that, under WFP’s banner, elected the majority of the Squad back in 2018..."

“The Squad” is an informal group of eight Democrats who are “well known for being among the most progressive and left-wing members of the United States Congress.” The Squad includes Rashida Tlaib, who is connected to six Hamas-linked activists, and Ilhan Omar, who has posted anti-Semitic tweets, demonized Israel and endorsed BDS.

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is America’s largest socialist organization. Its core ideology includes anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Western and abolitionist elements. In August 2025, DSA passed “For a Fighting Anti-Zionist DSA,” making support for Israel an expellable offense. DSA has also called to “abolish I.C.E. and capitalism.”

Following the October 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks against Israel, DSA condemned Israel, expressed support for Hamas, endorsed anti-Israel rallies and called for members to engage in anti-Israel activism. It condemned Israeli retaliatory attacks against the IRGC and Hezbollah, as well as the U.S. attacks against the Houthi terror organization, whose slogan reads: "...Death to America / Death to Israel / A Curse upon the Jews...”

DSA first endorsed the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement in 2017 and it has also condemned sanctions against countries like Iran and Cuba.

The group endorses far-left politicians on the local, state and federal levels. DSA also promotes anti-Israel agitators, including DSA members Rashida Tlaib, Zohran Mamdani and Linda Sarsour.

Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA), DSA’s youth section active in high schools and colleges, has co-organized anti-Israel protests across the U.S. since October 7, 2023, particularly the April 2024 pro-terror encampments on university campuses.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 Israelis, kidnapped 251 and wounded thousands. War crimes included various systematic sexual crimes like gang rape and genital mutilation. Men and women were violated, even after being murdered. Victims who survived that day, including hostages, endured forms of humiliation and torture.

Gazans working in the targeted Israeli villages provided intelligence to Hamas on which families to kill and torture, including long-time employers. Many Palestinian civilians joined in and celebrated the attacks. Hamas livestreamed their crimes on social media, including to victims’ accounts for families to see.

The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement was founded by pro-terror activist Omar Barghouti in 2005 to turn “Israel into a pariah state, as South Africa once was.” Barghouti has also called for Israel's destruction and the BDS movement demands would result in that same goal.

BDS initiatives include calling on institutions and individuals to divest from Israeli-affiliated companies, promoting academic and cultural boycotts of Israel, and organizing anti-Israel rallies, protests and campaigns.

The movement’s most notable achievement has been infiltrating university campuses through lobbying for “BDS resolutions.” In these cases, student governments propose resolutions to boycott or divestment from Israel or Israeli-affiliated entities. BDS activity is often aggressive and disruptive. It has been noted that universities that pass BDS resolutions see a marked increase in anti-Semitic incidents and pro-terror activism on campus.
