Emet means Truth in Hebrew. This in depth report was created by Joseph Schneider Malamud at the Endowment for Middle East Truth.
This work is long and detailed, heavily annotated and foot-noted. It is worth keeping for future reference because all of these people will appear in the news again…and again. Very few Americans have any grasp of the vast size and depth of Hamas’ network in this country. The USA is going to pay dearly for allowing this on our soil.
Possible Structure of Hamas’ American Operation
Backing these actions in the United States, there is a network sanitizing Hamas’ actions that encompasses businesses, NGOs, legal funds, political and student activists, academics, journalists, left-leaning donors, and Islamist-affiliated countries. The network has ironclad historical links to Hamas, dating back to its early beginnings, and has consistently expressed sympathy for the Muslim Brotherhood. Despite the network’s breadth and complexity, deciphering it in order to dismantle it should not have been a difficult task. In the early and mid-2000s, the federal government proved capable of detecting the terrorist links of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF), the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), and the KindHearts Foundation. However, interest in dismantling these organizations waned as the War on Terror subsided.[2] This is why we see, nowadays, as Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) has pointed out, that many of the people who had participated in organizations that the federal government disbanded are still active and able to influence public policy, especially through the closely connected organizations American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) and the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCRP).[3] Defining the contours of that network and figuring out its modus operandi is paramount for defending American citizens and allies worldwide.
Mousa Abu Marzook is reportedly worth $3 billion and lives in a palace in Qatar. He just represented Hamas in negotiations to merge with Fatah held in Beijing.
The center of Hamas’ American network is known as American Muslims for Palestine (AMP). The roots of this organization are in the Holy Land Foundation (HLF), the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), and KindHearts. The HLF’s establishment by Palestinian American Mousa Abu Marzook dates to 1989, two years after Hamas’ creation in 1987 during the violent wave of the First Intifada.[6] Because of his involvement with Hamas, Marzook fled to Jordan in 1995, as the Oslo Accords were in the first phases of their implementation.[7] In spite of this, HLF remained the United States’ largest Islamic charity organization.[8] This would change in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks and the beginning of the War on Terror.
Notice how the execrable Linda Sarsour’s name turns up in this network. She spoke the violent protests in Washington DC this week disrupting Bibi Netanyahu’s visit.
Based near Milwaukee are Munjed Ahmed and Salah Sarsour. Ahmed is one of the co-founders of the legal firm Ahmad & Guerard.[31] Meanwhile, Salah Sarsour leads AMP’s 501(c)(3) arm, called Americans for Justice in Palestine Educational Foundation (AJP), and owns a furniture store in the Milwaukee metropolitan area. Israel placed him under arrest for Hamas activity during the 1990s. Sarsour had used his furniture store’s bank account to send money to Adel Awadallah, a Hamas leader. He continues to own a furniture store that advertises at AMP’s conferences.[32] He is a relative of MPower Change and former Women’s March leader Linda Sarsour.[33] According to George Washington University specialist Lorenzo Vidino, a common denominator concerning the leadership of the United States’ Hamas network is the presence of “kinship and/or business ties,” previous trust, and common origins in “the same towns.”[34] According to Jonathan Schanzer, AJP Action is AJP Educational Foundation’s lobbying arm in Congress.[35] As this paper will later explain, AMP bolstered Students for Justice in Palestine (and also the Jewish Voice for Peace).[36]Now that AMP’s structure is clear, this paper will elaborate on the tight links between AMP and the network’s other chief node.
