Pro-Hamas Rioters Paid $75,000 to Protest Against Israel

This is funding terrorism in the homeland.
U.S. pro-Palestinian activist paid $75k to protest, funding traces back to Chinese Communist Party
David (Sung Mo) Chung was one of the key participants of the rally held on October 8, 2023, in New York, just a day after the Hamas massacre in Israel.
By: Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, August 7, 2025:
One of the lead organizers of pro-Palestine rallies in New York – David (Sung Mo) Chung – is paid $75,000 to protest, Nate Friedman first revealed in an investigation that he posted to his social media.
Friedman has been talking to people at protests for over a year, and now works to uncover professional protesters. He first came across Chung at a “Hands Off Iran” protest in NYC, he told The Jerusalem Post in an interview on Thursday. Friedman was trying to speak to a man with a flag that read, “There is no god but Allah,” but just “two sentences into the interview, another man interrupted and pulled the guy aside, and told him they were getting ready to march.” The other man was Chung.
Friedman flagged this as “paid behavior” as the man with a flag had consented to speak, so there was no reason for the interview to be interrupted.
He looked into Chung and found that he is listed as General Manager of The People’s Forum organization, which, due to being a 501(c)(3) listed NGO, has publicly available financial filings. Its Form 990 for 2023 lists Chung as the one and only paid employee with compensation of $64,021 and “other” payments of $9,581. The other seven members, including the directors, are listed as $0. Chung was also listed the year before, with compensation of $64,588 and “other” of $10,019. The same thing is seen tracing back to 2018.
