CongresswomanTlaib's links to Hamas group held liable for death of American Jew
"Rashida Tlaib had the crowd eating out of her hand. It was March 2018, and the hookah lounge in a working-class suburb outside of Chicago was packed. Warm and engaging, switching frequently between English and Arabic, Tlaib - a Michigan State representative with larger ambitions - pleaded for out-of-state donations to help her become the first Palestinian American in Congress. She unashamedly told the audience that her Detroit constituents often declared: 'Rashida is a warrior, and this is a war we're in.' Sitting in the front row, Rafeeq Jaber listened intently, seemingly impressed and knowing a thing or two about raising money to wage war.
There's Wisconsin furniture salesman Salah Sarsour, who co-hosted a party for Tlaib in July 2018 in Milwaukee. His name appears on the official Tlaib invite to the event. Sarsour is known to U.S. counter terror experts as being a suspected fundraiser in one of the largest pro-Hamas money laundering operations in U.S. history. Then there's Abdelbaset Hamayel, whose name is listed alongside Jaber's as a co-host on an official 'Rashia Tlaib For Congress' invitation to a meet and greet at the Jerusalem Banquet restaurant in Bridgeview, Illinois in July 2018. Hamayel was a purported point person for another charity, named KindHearts, that was accused by the U.S. Treasury Department of financing terrorism in 2006. Tlaib's defenders claim it is unreasonable to expect her to know the background of all the guests at her campaign events or the 45,000 donors named on her Federal Election Commission records. Perhaps most troubling of all is the thread tying these Tlaib's campaign boosters together, as a DailyMail.com investigation has now revealed that each of them are connected to an alleged pro-Hamas network that – to this day – is under investigation for supporting terror.
'DECEIVE & CAMOUFLAGE': HAMAS' PATRONS IN AMERICA. The origins of the pro-Hamas network in America can be traced to an October 1993 meeting at a Marriott Courtyard hotel in Philadelphia. Shortly after the fledging terror group launched its first suicide bombing, killing one and injuring 10 people at a rest area on the Jordan Valley Highway in the West Bank, sympathetic activists met in Philly for a secret three-day conflab. They anticipated that the U.S. government would declare Hamas a 'foreign terror organization' – which it did in 1997 – and block the flow of donations to the group. The participants debated how they could continue providing support to Hamas, and they knew they had to be careful: U.S. law enforcement may be listening. So, the attendees were circumspect - pronouncing the terror group's name backward as 'Samah' or simply as 'the movement.'
The Bureau was listening. FBI agents had bugged the meeting, and subsequent recordings were used to convict some of the participants for backing terrorism. 'I swear by Allah that war is deception,' one senior leader said, according to a FBI transcript. 'Deceive, camouflage, pretend that you're leaving while you're walking that way. Deceive your enemy.' Deceive they did. As Hamas found its footing, associates poured money into its coffers and it worked until the network was picked apart by American authorities.
'THE FAÇADE': PRO-HAMAS CHARITIES BUSTED. Federal agents raided and locked down the headquarters of the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation of Relief and Development (HLF) on suspicion of fundraising for Hamas in 2001. Seven years later, the Justice Department secured convictions against HLF and its leadership for illegally funneling approximately $12.4 million to the terrorists. Five HLF leaders were sentenced to a collective 180 years in federal prison and the faux charity was shuttered. To date - it is the largest successful terrorism financing prosecution in U.S. history. But not everyone allegedly involved in the scheme faced justice. Salah Sarsour - the furniture store owner whose name appears on an invitation for a Tlaib campaign event in Milwaukee in July of 2018 - allegedly helped raise money for HLF, according to a 2001 FBI memorandum. He was never charged. And HLF's pro-Hamas mission allegedly carried on.
The U.S. Treasury Department claimed that HLF simply dissolved and reconstituted itself another as another charity called KindHearts, which was based in Ohio. 'KindHearts is the progeny of Holy Land Foundation and Global Relief Foundation, which attempted to mask their support for terrorism behind the façade of charitable giving,' Treasury officials claimed when they froze KindHearts assets in 2006. At the time, KindHearts' representative[i] in Illinois and Wisconsin was Abdelbaset Hamayel - another Tlaib campaign co-host.
ISLAMIC CHARITY FOUND GUILTY IN MURDER OF AMERICA. David Boim was born in Brooklyn, New York, but on May 13, 1996, he was living in Jerusalem and studying at a yeshiva. It was the day he was murdered. The 17-year-old student was waiting with friends at a bus stop near Beit El in the West Bank when two Hamas terrorists opened fire on the crowd from a moving car. One student, Yair Greenbaum, was hit in the chest and wounded. David was shot in the head and killed. David's devastated parents took their grief to civil court and, in 2000, after years of preparation they brought a case under a 1992 law that permits American victims to sue anyone providing material support to terror groups. Named as a defendant in that lawsuit was the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP), which for decades had operated out of a nondescript office in a bland strip mall in the Chicago suburb of Palos Hills.
IAP merely changed its name and re-emerged under another – American Muslims for Palestine (AMP). That claim is currently the focus of an on-going lawsuit as the Boims allege that AMP is the alter ego of IAP. And if the Boim's contention is proven true, it would be truly disturbing – the least of which for Democrats – because AMP has thrown its weight behind several Democratic members of Congress, including Rashida Tlaib."

Taiwan independence means war – Beijing
"China has reacted sharply to rhetoric from politicians in Taipei ahead of a presidential
election on the island. China is willing to allow “plenty of space” for peaceful reunification with Taiwan, but will not tolerate separatist activities, government spokesperson Chen Binhua warned on Monday. The official was responding to comments by Taiwanese pro-independence politicians ahead of a presidential election on the self-governing island. “I want to emphasize that Taiwan independence means war,” Chen stated as he condemned Lai and Hsiao as separatists.
According to media reports, Lai Ching-te and Hsiao Bi-khim, both from Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party, recently claimed that the island continues to be threatened by an attack from the mainland." RT
