New in PJ Media:
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah), that most charming and patriotic of politicians, linked to Hamas? Inconceivable, no? No: the Washington Examiner reports that “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.”
What’s surprising about this is not that it happened: anyone who has paid attention to Tlaib’s public statements and actions over the years knows that this is just the sort of thing we should expect from her. What is surprising is that all this happened four years ago and only now has anyone taken any notice; apparently we are so accustomed to Leftist politicians hobnobbing with supporters of terrorist groups that this just wasn’t news.
Tlaib’s campaign event organizers, according to the Examiner, “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.” Getting a judgment was one thing, however, and getting payment was quite another: “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.”
One of Tlaib’s big boosters was Rafeeq Jaber, who 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. Jaber was also filmed sitting in the front row of an intimate Tlaib campaign fundraising event in March 2018, footage of the event uploaded to Facebook shows.” As it happens, Jaber wasn’t your average campaign financier; he had been president of two of the groups that had been held liable in the Boim judgment, 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.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

This article exposes Rashida Tlaib for what she really is . Tlaib is dangerous and un -American.
For Tlaib with her associates ,friend s,Islamic brothers who are the jihad of Hamas and other similar jihad terror /murder organizations which she supports ,Many of those jihad entities have murdered American citizens.
Tlaib is also un-American because she is spitefully anti-Jewish. The former US President ,William Howard Taft , had in a speech wisely declared “Antisemitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.”
So there should ,likewise, be no place in any political officer for Tlaib Therefore she should be voted out of office. Better yet, She should be impeached and then removed from office.

Hamas is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. The MB is a Nazi-inspired organization. Imagine if another party had neo-Nazis working for it.
Tlaib has Muslim Brotherhood fascists working for her.
Infidel says
All jihadwatchers living in her district, please vote in the primaries on August 2nd for her leading primary opponent to eliminate Tlaib. Her district won’t go red in November

It is well-known in some circles, that if one smells a bad odor for long enough, that one cannot keep smelling the foul odor. Just try entering someone’s home after they have cooked something pungent. Your nose wrinkles and the host says, what’s the matter…because they no longer smell it. Good or bad, they can’t smell it.
there has been so much corruption in politics for so long, most people have stopped noticing it. It doesn’t do much good to notice it if the host doesn’t notice it, and when it’s pointed out, won’t do anything about it.

I’m grateful to JW and all the unsung heroes, working tirelessly in the background, researching and exposing all evil people working to bring down our freedom and way of life.
Even if nothing is ever done, at least we can say, you knew about it. I’m sure intelligence agencies probably monitor sites like this…so if they don’t pursue these bad actors then they’re to blame because they have the evidence.
I truly hope something is done about these Islamofascist moles in the govt, seeking to destroy western civilization from within.
While this will be a long fight it doesn’t have to be. Our leaders need to accept Islam is pure evil and then work to defeat it, by stopping Muslim immigration and banning this death cult.

We all know what she is and who pulls her strings.
Is there any record of her recent tax returns and where exactly does her money come from?
What exactly is a non-profit group please do tell.
Eve 2 says
What did you expect? Of course, she and the other squat/squad team are funded by unsavory groups. They probably are looking forward to more 9/11 type attacks on the United States!
OLD GUY says
Tlaib getting money from terrorist organizations is bad and should be illegal. But wait we are willing as a country to sell our farm land and business to China and nobody sees a problem. Seems like America the land of the free is being sold out.
Ugly Sid says
A century ago AG Palmer [ the guy who made John Edgar Hover, a queer librarian seeking refuge from the competitive labor market, head of the fledgling Bureau of Investigation ] summarily deported a boatload of Reds and Luigi Galliano following anarchists. The people behind the 1920 Braintree payroll robbery used the proceeds to fund the detonation of a wagon loaded with dynamite in front of the NY Stock exchange at lunchtime, killing thirty exchange employees and wounding hundreds.
Homicidal malcontents have found twenty-first century America much easier going. Three thousand dead in one morning and the Bush response was shameless groveling.
Now we have them by the literal millions.
What we need is Paul Revere with a time machine. Head to 1965 please Paul and halt the absurd modifications to our immigration statutes that gave us 140 million non-American “Americans”.
America First. No compromises. No amnesty. Round them up. Throw them out. Noncitizens have no rights to petition our courts. That’s the whole point.
And previous amnesties should be reconsidered.
