A U.S. Justice Department document shows that Fenton Communications, a U.S. public relations firm, has been working for "Al Fakhoora," a Qatar-based pro-Palestinian initiative that participated in the illegal flotilla to Gaza last month and urged action against Israel .[1]
According the group's director, Al Fakhoora has "launched an advocacy campaign to file legal charges against Israel and change the public perception in the West about its actions."[2]
Al Fakhoora is supported by the office of Her Highness Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned, the second wife of the emir of Qatar .[3] According to a document filed by Fenton under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, Her Highness' office agreed to pay Fenton approximately $240,000 for communications services rendered from March 1 - Aug. 31, 2010.[4]
Fenton distributes materials through Al Fakhoora's Web site, which includes a Facebook page[5] and a "Flotilla Action Alert" urging activists to oppose Israel's blockade on Hamas-controlled Gaza .[6]
Israel considers Gaza-bound convoys a security risk and has implemented a maritime blockade on Gaza because of Hamas' ongoing efforts to smuggle Iranian rockets and other weaponry since the Iran-backed group overthrew the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority in a bloody coup there in June 2007.[7] Historically, ships bound for Gazahave carried tons of weapons among their cargo.

Shouldn’t this Fenton bunch be tried for providing aid and comfort to the terrorist group Hamas?
If he was and they nailed his supporters with him it would thin out the population in Hollywood.

Culling the herd is necessary sometimes.
Left-Wing Lobbyists Orchestrate Gaza Campaign
Thanks, good piece.
bookmark.
Fenton was linked in pretty tight about 10 years or so ago with the eco-fascist movement.
Not surprised to see him/them involved here.
Their association with radical left-wing causes has never stopped.
They represented ANSWER and virtually the anti-war claptrap. They personally represented Cindy Sheehan -- indeed, it was Fenton who evidently recruited her, scripted her and generally told her what to do (until they didn't need her anymore).
Fenton Communications: Making money out of anti-Americanism.
I’ll be sure to do so!
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
