Palestine Children's Relief Fund: what Wikipedia removed
The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund is a US-registered nonprofit that brings Palestinian children to the United States and Europe for free medical care. Through 2005 the opening said the fund had been criticized by the government for funding terrorist groups. Today the opening carries none of that accusation, though the word terror survives twice in the body. A reader today learns the fund’s own account of its mission from its website, and not that the US government once accused it of funding terrorist groups.
The word “terror” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2005. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 2. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
