Tariq Ahmed

Tariq Ahmed [Tariq Afaq Ahmed] donated $500,000 in 2026 to American Priorities, a far-left political action committee (PAC) dedicated to electing leftist candidates to Congress, including Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) leaders running as Democrats. He has also financed multiple DSA politicians.

American Priorities is a far-left independent, expenditure-only political committee (super PAC) founded in February 2026. It is part of a broader political network seeking to bring down the "American Empire" from within. To learn more, see the Canary Mission campaign The Machine Behind the Democratic Party's Radical Transformation.

American Priorities leaders have labeled Israel's founding a "catastrophe," celebrated calls to destroy Israel and promoted the antisemitic conspiracy theory that AIPAC controls American politicians.

The stated mission of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (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.”

On November 7, 2025, Ahmed expressed support for the New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, a leader within the DSA.

Mamdani has called for dismantling capitalism and promoted hatred of the police. He has also justified Hamas terrorism and glorified terror supporters. On his first day as mayor, he revoked executive orders designed to combat antisemitism, including increased police protection at synagogues, and nullified a ban on city officials to boycott Israel.

As of October 2026, Ahmed's X said he was a founding member of AppLovin and was located in Palo Alto, California.

In October 2025, The New York Post reported that Culper Research alleged that AppLovin was a national-security risk.

In November 2025, Richt reported that AppLovin was under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding whether AppLovin violated agreements about data collection from children, inappropriate content, and other targeted advertising issues.

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.
