Lionheart
In January 2008, Chesler wrote a supportive article about British blogger Paul Ray after he was accused of inciting racial hatred. Chesler wrote an update to the article, after Ray's pro-BNP views were made known to her.
- I myself no longer demand purity or conformity in my political alliances. I think we are at war and we must make alliances with people with whom we may not agree on every issue. However, others believe that there are some people who, no matter what, are “off-limits” where civilized political and military alliances are concerned.[1]
According to Richard Bartholomew, Chesler repudiated Ray in a subsequent update.[2] The original post is no longer online and this version does not appear to have been archived.
Alan Johnson
Chesler hosted a party for Alan Johnson and Democratiya in June 2008. Also present were Michael Weiss, Sol Stern, Ruthie Stern, Paul Berman, Fred Siegel, Jan Rosenberg, Nahma Sandrow, Bill Meyers, Ibn Warraq and Austin Dacey.[3]
Funding
Chesler receives substantial financial backing from Daniel Pipes' Middle East Forum. In 2014 she wrote that:
- A private philanthropist and the Middle East Forum Education Fund have committed to fund a bit more than 50% of my $110K annual operating costs.
