THEY ASKED FOR GAZA AID. THE FEDS SAY THE MONEY WENT TO HAMAS.
Compassion was allegedly the bait. Hamas was the beneficiary.
Trump’s DOJ has announced the dismantling of an alleged international Hamas fundraising network reaching directly into America:
Six arrests. Three in the United States. Three in France.
Prosecutors say social media appeals promising humanitarian assistance for Gaza collected more than $1.7 MILLION—while funneling money to Hamas.
The alleged organizer, Saleem Alzaq, is described by federal authorities as a deputy battalion leader in Hamas’s military wing.
Two Louisiana brothers allegedly contributed approximately $94,000 and $11,000. A Florida man allegedly provided nearly $50,000.
Treasury says the broader network collected more than $2 MILLION for Hamas—including $1.5 million AFTER the October 7 massacre—and used charitable fronts and cryptocurrency channels.
Think about that: the suffering of civilians allegedly became a fundraising pitch for the terrorist organization helping perpetuate that suffering.
The defendants are presumed innocent. Prosecutors must prove their case.
But the principle is clear:
Protect legitimate humanitarian aid. Prosecute those who knowingly finance terrorism. Follow the money across every border it crosses.
A donation button must never become a financial lifeline for Hamas. Ever!
God bless America! 🇺🇸
