Coordinated Global Day of Action Targets Israel: Playbook, Funding, and One-State Vision
By Drooid · · How we work
Core Event – Simultaneous Pro-Israel Protests on October 10
On October 10 demonstrators in more than 60 countries staged coordinated rallies, marches, sit-ins and blockades aimed at Israel’s actions in Gaza. Fox News Digital uncovered a pre-written “communications framing” guide that instructed participants to “shut down city squares,” “encircle government buildings” and “blockade complicit corporate hubs,” and supplied multilingual slogans such as “Gaza Genocide” and “Israel Kills. The Media Justifies.” An interactive Google Map listed 322 scheduled actions across three days, from Saint John, Canada, to Bangladesh and South Africa.
Background & Context – Organized Campaign and Funding Network
Internal documents circulated among a coalition of activist groups outline a strategy to turn “public outrage into collective leverage” and keep Israel’s war in Gaza on the international agenda. Funding traces back to tech entrepreneur Neville Roy Singham, a Shanghai-based billionaire who has contributed $278 million to a network of nonprofits under investigation by the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee for alleged foreign ties. CodePink, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, received a $1 contribution from Singham and denies any wrongdoing.
Key Figures & Groups
- Medea Benjamin – Co-founder of CodePink.
- Olivia DiNucci – CodePink’s Washington, D.C., coordinator.

Data & Statistics
- 179 organizations appear on the coalition’s internal list; 322 events were mapped.

- Demonstrations occurred in at least 60 countries across Asia, Europe and Africa.
Official Statements & Responses
CodePink says its involvement is limited to peaceful protest. The GAFP stated, “as governments actively fund, arm, and protect Israel from any legal accountability, grassroots movements are refusing to allow this genocide to become normalised as the status quo.”
Criticism & Opposition
The House Ways and Means Committee, chaired by Rep. Jason Smith, opened a probe into Singham’s donations, alleging some recipient nonprofits may act as “Trojan horses” for foreign influence. Targeted groups have rejected the allegations, emphasizing their U.S. nonprofit status and transparent funding.
On-the-Ground Reports
In Kuala Lumpur, protesters displayed placards reading “Humanity Is Not a Crime,” “Let Gaza Live,” and a cardboard cutout of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a noose.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Sources differ on the total number of participating organizations: Fox News Digital cites 179 logos, while the GAFP press release references “more than 200” groups. The precise legal scope of the “one-state” demand—whether it includes the West Bank, Gaza or the entirety of Israel—remains ambiguous in the campaign documents.
