This entire scheme illustrates, as I explained here, how government humanitarian aid to entities that sponsor jihad terrorism is simply financing that jihad terrorism. Our leaders can’t be so stupid as not to realize this. So that means that they must be complicit.

“$1.7 million raised in scheme for Hamas, including from U.S. donors, prosecutors say, announcing charges,” by Kierra Frazier, CBS News, October 1, 2026:
Nearly three years after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, federal prosecutors allege that more than $1.7 million was funneled to the terrorist group Hamas, including hundreds of thousands of dollars from donors in the United States.
Saleem Alzaq, a 45-year-old Gaza man who prosecutors allege is a longtime Hamas member, was charged with helping operate the fundraising campaign claiming to provide humanitarian aid, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday.
Prosecutors allege Alzaq and his co-conspirators raised funds under the guise of providing food and winter necessities to Palestinians in Gaza between January 2020 and December 2025. The campaigns raised more than $1.7 million, including at least $626,000 from U.S.-based donors, according to the indictment.
Alzaq has been a Hamas member since at least 2017, prosecutors say, and has allegedly posted Hamas propaganda on social media, including posts celebrating the Oct. 7, 2023, attack.
Prosecutors allege Alzaq operated an international fundraising campaign spanning the U.S. and France. Co-conspirators in France allegedly helped collect and transfer money, while two brothers from Louisiana allegedly contributed about $105,000 and a Florida man allegedly provided nearly $50,000 to the terror network….
The indictment also alleges Alzaq advised donors not to reference Hamas to prevent their accounts from being shut down, including instructing followers in October 2024 not to write “Free Palestine” or “long live Hamas” on donations to his PayPal accounts….
Stive says
Anyone that has spent the last 3 years in Israel, whether it be a citizen, a foreign worker, a person there for business, religious, foreign student, whatever, are stunned by the tons of aid, much paid for by Israel, trucked into Gaza where half the women are fat, where their food situation is far better than Egypt, and free electric and water paid for by Israelis with bigger biils, and yet a few hundred thousand Israelis were refugees from hamas and hezbolla too ,
where govt aid puts them on very survival mode.many lived in cramped conditions. Many lost their jobs fleeing missles and reserve soldiers called up, many had their businesses go bankrupt. Govt aid does not put their lives back together even when some got to return home as their homes get repaired. At the same time Israel helps feed a million Druse & christians in Suwayda Syria.. where is the help and world aid for Jews, christians& Druse. Only aid for jihad moslems that don’t even heed half the food they get. Just a sick world.
