A Hamas financier who has organized campaign fundraising events for Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) accused Israel of bringing brutal terrorist attacks upon its civilians with its "genocidal war against the people of Gaza."
Salah Sarsour on Tuesday shared a flier for a "Gathering In Support of the People of Gaza" sponsored by the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, for which he serves as president. The flier, posted on Sarsour’s Facebook page, accused the Israeli government of "intentionally bombing" buildings filled with "innocent people." It makes no mention of the fact that the Israeli military is attacking Hamas targets in Gaza in response to the terrorist group’s surprise invasion of the Jewish state, which has resulted in the deaths of over 1,000 Israelis and 14 Americans.
Such a glaring omission is unsurprising from Sarsour, who played a direct role in raising funds for a Hamas front group in the late 1990s, according to an FBI memorandum. Sarsour now serves on the national board of American Muslims for Palestine, which issued a statement Saturday claiming "Israeli violence" was the root cause of the Hamas invasion.
"The onus rests with the Israel apartheid regime to end the brutal siege on Gaza, or else the Palestinians will find themselves compelled to end it themselves as we’ve seen in the past 48 hours," Sarsour’s group said.
