Rep. Jamie Raskin (D – Weasel) dispatched a letter to Senator Jim Risch (R – Idaho) demanding that he unblock money for Hamas.
In a letter co-signed by notable Democrat patriots and lovers of the Jewish State like Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Rep. Mark Pocan, and Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Raskin demanded immediate aid for Gaza.
“Gaza is experiencing a humanitarian catastrophe. Buildings lie in rubble. Access to clean water and electricity is sporadic or nonexistent. Food insecurity is spreading. COVID-19 is running rampant and thousands of people have been displaced and rendered homeless. The magnitude of the crisis is staggering,” Rep. Raskin wailed.
Gaza’s five-star hotel and its 600 Hamas millionaires are also feeling down. But the number of stringers taking photos of teddy bears that they’ve strategically arranged in the rubble of a Hamas facility is way up.
The assistance aid notified by the State Department is to be provided in full accordance with U.S. law. It is administered and overseen by our government and by trusted and vetted partners on the ground. Secretary Antony Blinken has made clear that Hamas and other terrorist groups will not benefit from our humanitarian assistance.
Stuff has been made very clear. Just don’t ask for guarantees.
“We’re going to be working in partnership with the United Nations and the Palestinian Authority to kind of channel aid there in a manner that does its best to go to the people of Gaza,” a senior State Department official told reporters Monday. “As we all know in life, there are no guarantees.”
When you move aid through territory controlled by a terrorist group, it goes to the terrorists. We’ve seen this in Yemen, Syria, and oh, Gaza.
Hamas infiltrated a large international aid organization operating in Gaza and redirected tens of millions of dollars – 60 percent – of the organization’s budget to its “military” wing, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced on Thursday, following an investigation that lasted almost two months.
The World Vision organization, which operates in 100 countries and employs 46,000 people, fell victim to a complex Hamas takeover scheme, a senior Shin Bet source said, adding that Hamas’s armed wing stole $7.2 million a year from the budget, which was supposed to pay for food, humanitarian assistance, and aid programs for disabled children, and channeled the funds to buy weapons, build attack tunnels, and to other preparations for war with Israel.
This time around, Hamas was bragging about using water pipes to make rockets. Good thing Biden promised to rebuild their water infrastructure.
“Access to clean water and electricity is sporadic or nonexistent,” Raskin whines. Maybe he should take that up with Hamas.

I COULDN’T…
Care…
Less.
The ONLY time any help should be given to the Palestinians anymore…
Is after the people THEMSELVES, drag every single solitary Hamas member/Islamic jihadist/Anti Semite Spewer amongst them, and HANG them in the streets.
And there had darn well better be enough of those to fill a few mass graves.
Until that happens?
They made their bed, now they can sleep in it.
Westman says
It does seem that Hamas is dedicated to “behead all Israelis”:yet, the “moderate” Palestinians only want Hamas to, “behead all Israelis”. In fairness, one must appreciate the glaring difference.

I did not know anyone was successfully blocking! GREAT JOB. Qatar sends enough as does UN and several EU countries, Scandinavia etc. Even Israel sends food and Health items (though I heard Gaza bombed on aid truck coming in) Please Continue to Block
mgoldberg says
Qatar and Egypt promised one billion dollars- much more than what they need to actually rebuild their buildings and infrastructure. These appeasers have no conscience whatsoever- the people their voted for this and got what they asked for. When Hamas marched last week in a victory parade no one came out to wave flags and march. But…. they can’t open their mouths and protest at the ridiculous tunnel building for war against Israel that brought all this upon them. Or they will be jailed and or die. Why don’t the conscience minded democrats get to deal with that tyranny instead of simply mooing about how the poor gazans are afflcted.

With this news report it’s fitting to reiterate the grand quote that “Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America..”

somehistory says
raskin, in partnership with the vile mozlums/mozlumwannabee that “rep” for terror, demanding that money be sent to terrorists.
Saying that the money won’t go to the terrorists….when they know it will…is like saying the money they are given for being “reps,” won’t go in their pockets, bank accounts, for fancy clothes, ugly scarves, red lipstick,…
If you see a drug addict or drunk on the sidewalk and he/she asks for money, he might say it’s for food, but anyone other than raskin and his ilk, knows it will go to buy more of the substance to which he/she is addicted.
Of course hamas will get the money….all of it…and it will go to their war machine and to their own pockets. Just as the “reps” who want to give it to them do with their own…taxpayer… money.

James Lincoln says
The best part is that Rep. Jamie Raskin is “Jewish”…
Keith O says
Did Raskin and Co ask the people who stupidly voted them in if they want THEIR MONEY going to a terrorist organisation or to a foreign country instead of being used to help the American people???
Of course not.
They are too busy kissing Musloid arses to care what the people they are supposed to represent are going through.
I mean, there’s no starvation, no homelessness, no Chines virus or infrastructure problems in the US?
Providing aid to the enemy in a time of war is treason and given that the world is at war with terrorists, and Hamas is a terrorist organisation,
Anyone, no matter who they are is guilty of treason.

Rep. Jamie Raskin Demands Republicans Stop Blocking Money for Hamas
………………
Just appalling. This American taxpayer money will be used to murder more Israelis.
Biden has said that he knows this–and yet goes ahead anyway.
Raskin has said in a Tweet that Hamas must stop its indescriminate rocket attacks on the people of Israel–yet this money for them will just allow them to build more rockets to attack Israel.
Patriot Pastor says
I think Raskin can take his demand and shove it up his nose.
hammar says
Some one should explain to the money-hungry democrat that the buildings and homes lie in ruin because all money donated from US taxpayers goes to hamas and its ilk’s because they are using the funds for rockets and jihad and not for the people. Please explain this fact to the idiot, oh I guess Im not politically correct…too bad. hammar
OLD GUY says
Raskin if your so dam in love with Hamas you should be charged as a traitor to the United States. Funding Hamas with my tax dollars is aiding the enemy. Our American tax dollars should be spent for the betterment of American citizens not our enemies or those who attack our allies.
