Leader of Hamas-cheering radical NYC group has ties to Cuba
|
[NYPOST] The head of a radical activist group who urged anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University to channel the deadly Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 is a career agitator who spent "years" in the socialist haven of Cuba, The Post can reveal.
Manolo De Los Santos, the 35-year-old leader of the Midtown-based nonprofit The People’s Forum (TPF), came to The Bronx from his native Dominican Republic at age 5 and has made a career of spurring protests on the streets of New York City.
He first traveled to Cuba in 2006 and was there as recently as March to demand an end to the US blockade against the socialist state which has been in place since 1962.
As TPF’s executive director and de facto mouthpiece — a role he’s held since 2018, according to his Facebook — the writer, organizer and public speaker is as known for his zealous support of left-wing causes as he is for his repugnant public statements.
De Los Santos, who declined to speak to The Post when approached outside his Hell’s Kitchen home Monday, has in the last year alone hailed Hamas
 ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
’ Oct. 7 terror attack as "heroic," called for Israel to be "erased from history" and eagerly welcomed the impending "defeat" of the "US empire."
He has been a longtime advocate for Cuba, which he first visited as a teenager with a progressive religious group called Pastors for Peace and which he was later based out of for "many years."
