Jimmy Carter to Headline Fundraiser for Hamas Front Group
Aug 28, 2014 13:10:58 #
The Justice Department recently implicated ISNA, which claims to be Americas largest Muslim organization, as the lead conduit in a scheme to illegally pass on $12 million to Hamas, the Palestinian terror group established to annihilate the State of Israel. Hamas is officially designated a terrorist group by the US government.
The Justice Department officially designated ISNA as an un-indicted co-conspirator as part of its successful 2007 trial of those accused of coordinating fundraising efforts for Hamas in the United States through the Dallas-based Holy Land Foundation. A federal judge turned down a subsequent ISNA appeal to reverse the designation, claiming there was "ample" evidence that Holy Land officials clearly "operated from within ISNA." Key evidence presented at the trial were checks written to known Hamas terrorists and deposited into ISNA accounts from where they were passed on to Hamas.
Shukri Abu Bakr, now serving a 65-year sentence following his conviction on multiple counts of providing material support to Hamas, admitted to working from inside ISNAs headquarters as he served as Hamass top operative in the United States.
Providing any support or assistance to a designated foreign terrorist organization is a violation of Section 18 of the U.S. Code § 2339B and is punishable by imprisonment of not more than fifteen years. If the death of any person results from providing such support, the penalty increases to imprisonment for any term up to and including life.
US civil rights expert Alan Dershowitz claims that fundraising for ISNA may constitute violation of Section 18, which would put Jimmy Carter "very close to, if not across the line" of criminal activity.
The 89-year-old former president has become an increasingly venomous critic of Israel. In addition to writing a 2006 book that accused Israel of perpetrating even worse instances of Apartheid than we witnessed in South Africa, he has more recently accused the Jewish state of deliberately starting the current war with Hamas in order to stop the terrorist group from what he called its encouraging moves toward peace.
A three-page memo produced at trial fingered both Abu Baker and ISNA as working together for the "coordination and accounting of Hamas's deadly suicide bombing campaign that killed and wounded thousands of Israelis between 2000 and 2003, during the so-called "2nd Palestinian Intifada."
Several ISNA board members who will welcome President Carter to their event are themselves still officially registered as unindicted co-conspirators: Jamal Badawi for his role in Holy Land Foundation trial and Siraj Wahhaj for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
ISNAs 2014 Convention will held for the first time in Michigan, home to both the countrys largest and fastest-growing Muslim population. Michigan Governor Rick Synder is scheduled to welcome delegates at the conferences opening session on Friday.
Also featured at this weekends ISNA convention are Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, the national leader of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the first Muslim member of the US Congress.
This is just further proof this ignorant clown Carter has stepped up his attacks on Israel, and is supporting terrorism around the world. We can only be thankful this buffoon is completely irrelevant, with the exception of larrypayneintheass and his low information anti-semitic sycophants which revere him as their hero! (gag) This treasonous terrorist supporter should be interned at his home, held under house arrest, to protect him and our country for the rest of his life! He will indeed go down in history as the worst POTUS in history, with the exception of the current occupant in the White House!

They are neck and neck.Carter lost Iran, and Obama lost Iraq. But considering Obama has two years to go, who knows what kind of damage is yet to come?

No surprise to me. This is just another example of the Democratic Party being anti-America, anti-Americans as well as anti Jew and anti-Israel. Black Americans should pay attention to this. The Democrats use to court the Jewish voters but once they no longer valuable to them politically they turned on Israel and the Jewish people.

Exactly. We can only hope the black demographic actually wakes up, and sees what the democrat party has done to them for the past 50 years.

That is quite true! They will drop the blacks totally if it means they get more hispanics. Their philosophy is divide and conquer. The party is in the control of the San Francisco liberals, who are very smart and tech savvy. The people of Moveon.org are part of that control. Unfortunately, the vast majority of democrats are probably very well meaning people and do not realize how far left the "party" actually is.
