Rashida Tlaib campaign events in 2018 were organized by alleged terror financiers
Washington Examiner ^ | 07/18/2022 | Andrew Kerr

Two men who held key positions at nonprofit groups that were found liable in a Hamas terror financing scheme helped organize campaign fundraising events for Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) in 2018.

The men, who organized events that were paid for by Tlaib's campaign, were associated with a network of nonprofit groups that were found liable by a federal jury in 2004 for financing the terrorist slaying of an American teenager, David Boim, at a bus stop in the West Bank in 1996. A federal judge ordered the three groups to pay Boim's parents a $156 million judgment for funding Hamas, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.

The groups — the Holy Land Foundation, the American Muslim Society, and the Islamic Association for Palestine — never paid up. They shut down shortly after they were ordered to pay the landmark judgment to the Boim family. The Holy Land Foundation ultimately had its monetary assets seized by the United States, and five of its leaders were sentenced to decades in prison in 2008, for providing material support to Hamas.

The first Tlaib campaign organizer, Rafeeq Jaber, testified during a deposition in 2003 that he served as president of the American Muslim Society and the Islamic Association for Palestine. Jaber testified that the two groups, while under his control, worked to "promote [Holy Land Foundation] in every way we can" and also distributed pro-Hamas documents, including an August 2001 editorial that advocated martyrdom operations and the killing of Jewish people.

Jaber was identified as a member of the "Hosting Committee" for a Tlaib campaign fundraiser in July 2018, according to a flier posted on Facebook. The event was paid for by Tlaib's congressional campaign, the flier stated.

Radical muslims want to kill all of the infidels.

Moderate muslims want the radical muslims to kill all of the infidels.

And they are willing to help, if necessary.

“...I(Joe Kaufman) replied to Rehab’s e-mail with the following: “Ahmed, I understand that you are involved with CAIR. Were you ever involved with the IAP? I ask because both have a presence in Chicago, and both are closely related, CAIR being a group founded by the IAP (Rafiq Jaber and Nihad Awad). Oh, and do you see Rafiq at all? Maybe at the Mosque Foundation? Thanks. Joe”
My questions were perfectly legitimate. After all, CAIR was founded through the IAP; the IAP’s headquarters was in Chicago; and Rehab was part of the Chicago office of CAIR. In addition, Rafiq Jaber, apart from being a co-founder of CAIR and the President of the IAP, was also a board member and former President of the Mosque Foundation, a Hamas-linked center located in the Chicago suburb of Bridgeview. The interrelated nature of all of these institutions led me to seek answers....” —— Joe Kaufman
