A Yale University dance troupe, Ballet Folklórico Mexicano de Yale, has apologized for raising money for “Palestinian anarchist fighters” supporting the military arm of Hamas.
During two of their performances on campus this weekend, the ballerinas projected a QR code labeled “Support Palestine” onstage. The QR code directed audience members to a slide on Instagram titled, “Support Palestinian anarchist fighters” with a Venmo address, according to the Yale Daily News.
The fundraiser, organized by anti-colonialist Marxist activist account, AbolishUSA, claims to fundraise for “State Subversive Mutual Aid” that stands in opposition to “colonialism, borders, the state & capitalism.”
The AbolishUSA fundraiser was for an “anarchist movement in Palestine” named Fauda, which means “chaos” in Hebrew and Arabic and is also the name of a hit Netflix series on Israeli commandos. A Fauda member in an interview with AbolishUSA described the organization as one of “15 anti-Zionist resistance groups in Palestine,” which includes Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Kitab al-Aqsa. The Fauda representative claimed the terrorist bodies are “all together” and “follow the same goal.”
