Lawyers for New York City are investigating a recent fundraiser at the Muslim American Society youth center in Brooklyn, where vendors sold merchandise supporting groups designated as terrorist organizations by the United States. Items on sale included keychains, stickers, and pins featuring the logos of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, as well as slogans and images promoting violence. In response, the New York City Council has paused $80,000 in funding to the society and is conducting a comprehensive internal review, with the possibility of banning future funding. City Council Speaker Julie Menin emphasized a policy of 'zero tolerance' for organizations found to support groups that threaten the United States government.
