The terror group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is well-represented in the ongoing campus protests, according to a new report by the Israeli watchdog group NGO Monitor.

On May 8, the Jerusalem-based research institute published a report detailing the involvement of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and a subsidiary organization, Samidoun, in the protests active at more than 80 campuses across the United States. The Popular Front was designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. Department of State in 1997.
