More urgent initiatives are needed to end foreign and domestic financing of antisemitic incitement and violent extremism by foreign agents
WASHINGTON, D.C. – September 18, 2025 – The Coalition for a Safer Web (CSW), a Washington-based nonprofit that uncovers, monitors and works to counter online antisemitic and extremist incitement, today commended the House Oversight Committee for urging the U.S. Treasury Department to investigate Neville Roy Singham, a China-based American expatriate for “funding and supporting various extremist entities in the United States with the aim of causing destruction and division in our country.”
In its Sept. 15 letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) called for the administration to explore possible Foreign Agents Registration Act violations by Singham and referenced a 2023 New York Times report which “tracked hundreds of millions of dollars to groups linked to Mr. Singham that mix progressive advocacy with Chinese government talking points.” The letter urged Treasury to determine whether financial sanctions and “any other civil remedies or criminal penalties” are warranted against Singham’s domestic funding network. The sprawling network includes Marxist extremist organizations such as the People’s Forum, ANSWER Coalition, Code Pink, the Party for Socialism & Liberation, Tricontinental, United Community Fund, Justice and Education Fund, and several pro-Palestinian groups that have openly supported violence or maintained ties to U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations.
“CSW has long warned that Neville Roy Singham is leveraging tax-deductible donations to spread hate, promote U.S.-designated terrorist organizations and incite antisemitic violence,” said CSW President Marc Ginsberg. “We filed the first formal IRS complaint in 2024 against Singham and his facilitators at the Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund, and we welcome the Committee’s call for urgent action to shut this network down.”
Singham, an American technology mogul living in Shanghai, is widely reported to operate with the full knowledge, if not the tacit support, of the Chinese Communist Party. According to CSW research, he has directed more than $200 million through U.S.-based nonprofits to extremist groups that fuel antisemitic agitation on college campuses and in Jewish communities nationwide.
Founded in the wake of the 2017 Charlottesville white nationalist rally, CSW has documented the online roots of extremist movements across the ideological spectrum. Following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks on Israel, CSW provided Congress and the administration with evidence tying Samidoun, a U.S.-based pro-Hamas group, to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a long-designated terrorist organization. Months later, the US and Canada designated Samidoun a “sham charity that serves as an international fundraiser for the PFLP terrorist organization.” “Whether extremists cloak themselves in the far Right or the far Left, their financiers must be held accountable,” Ginsberg said. “We continue to urge Congress and the White House to consider additional measures, including a criminal RICO investigation, to dismantle Singham’s CCP-backed syndicate and ensure America does not become a staging ground for foreign-funded antisemitic incitement.”
