CANARY MISSION American Muslims For Palestine (AMP) is a national anti-Israel organization that has been embroiled in many controversies related to its history of anti-Semitism and links to terror organizations and terror-financiers. AMP leaders have spread anti-Semitism, expressed support for Hamas terrorists and praised the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and its spiritual leader. At least one AMP national board member reportedly personally raised money for Hamas, while another two board members have been linked to alleged Hamas financiers. AMP promotes the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement and has spearheaded multiple BDS campaigns.
