The group claimed, "For generations, Palestinians have been living under a system of apartheid" and pushed the president to reject "genocide with U.S. taxpayer dollars."
By early November, not even a month after the events of Oct. 7, the group was demonstrating with signs depicting a one-state solution, designed to look like a watermelon.

At the same time, only weeks after Hamas' attack on Israel, the CJA accused the country of levying "genocidal warfare" on the Palestinian people. The group has also claimed Israel is an apartheid state.
On its website, the CJA has an entire section dedicated to "Free Palestine." One image promoted by the organization for use at protests depicts a bulldozer taking down a section of the Israel-Gaza border fence following the Hamas terrorist attack on civilians, with the word "Decolonize Palestine" written above it.

According to the EPA spokesperson, grantmakers were all subject to a "rigorous, multi-level application process." The agency stressed that "Political affiliations played no role in the evaluation, scoring, and selection of Grantmakers."
Additionally, "Grantmakers will be accountable to EPA for proper expenditure of the funds and will be reporting to EPA on a quarterly basis on the overall progress and deliverables of the program."

The recipients' use of grant money is also restricted to "allowable grant activities," per the spokesperson.
Neither the White House nor the CJA responded to Fox News Digital's request for comment in time for publication.
