    SUICIDE, AMERICAN STYLE
    IMMIGRATION IS SLITTING OUR WRISTS

    By: Resa LaRu Kirkland



    My dad was a Federal Parole and Probation officer in El Paso, Texas, 30 years ago. Because he dealt with Federal cases, it was his responsibility to handle illegal immigrants. I was only about 8 years old when I overheard him saying that 10,000 Mexicans a day crossed the border between America and Mexico. Of course, they didn’t all stay…much of it was just daily traffic back and forth.

    But many of them did stay, and I knew why. We would often go into Juarez for funâ€â€

    I call upon all of you who say "Enough" to join me. I am rallying those who love America more than they do a political party or a politician.

    Now is the time to get on the phone and call your local officials. Ask them what they are doing to keep your city safe from illegal aliens. Then nail you state legislators butt to the wall. Then of course bail the ones with the inflated egos, the Congressmen and Senators.

    If you spend one hour a month calling these people, believe me they will not want to hear from you unless they have been doing something right.

    While you're at it, would you send one hours wages to ALIPAC? Look over to the left. See the Site Traffic box. Click on it. ALIPAC is growing and scaring the right people!

    Have a great day letting the politicians know you are watching them.

    Excellent read. Thanks for posting. I too share the writer's compassion for the citizens of Mexico who live in deplorable conditions but agree that America cannot withstand the implications of being the refuge nation for the world's poor and needy. Nor can we be the breeding ground for the arrogant and detestable ilk that infiltrate America for nothing but greedy gain and to destroy our country .. smirking all the way to the bank or, in the case cited below, with every contribution to terrorism.

    The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development

    Update:

    July 27, 2004- The U.S. Justice Department handed down a 42-count indictment against the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, an organization long suspected of supporting terrorists by funneling money to Hamas. The federal indictment named the Foundation and its top leaders in a conspiracy to provide aid to a terrorist organization and the families of suicide terrorists.

    The indictment also charged that HLF provided more than $12.4 million to individuals and organizations linked to Hamas between 1995 and 2001. The group raised a total of $57 million since its incorporation in 1992 but only reported $36.2 million to the IRS, according to the indictment.

    Background on the seven indicted leaders follows:

    Shukri Abu Baker: co-founder, president and chief executive officer.

    "Numerous FBI sources have identified Baker as being a member of Hamas," according to a memo drafted by former FBI counterterrorism director Dale L. Watson. Baker was introduced as the "senior vice president in Hamas" ("second only to Mohammed El Mezain" [see below]) at a 1994 Islamic Association of Palestine conference in Culver City, California, according to an informant cited in the memo.

    Baker was one of three HLF leaders who attended an October 1993 meeting in Philadelphia with Hamas activists. Those present discussed supporting Hamas in the United States through fundraising and political activity, according to the FBI, with emphasis on raising funds for injured and imprisoned Hamas activists, and families of Hamas activists.

    At least eleven trips by Hamas leaders to the U.S. were charged to two American Express accounts bearing Baker's name along with HLF's, according to the FBI. (One account used HLF's original name, the Occupied Land Fund.)

    Ghassan Elashi: co-founder, chairman and former executive director.

    Elashi was one of three HLF leaders attending the Philadelphia meeting with Hamas activists in October 1993.

    On July 7, Elashi was found guilty of illegally exporting goods to Syria and of money laundering. He is also awaiting trial on charges that he and four of his brothers (who together ran a computer company, InfoCom) had financial dealings with Musa Abu Marzuq, a Hamas leader and designated terrorist.

    One of the founders of the Islamic Association for Palestine.

    A founding board member of the Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

    Related by marriage to Hamas leader Musa Abu Marzuq.

    Mohammed El-Mezain: former chairman, head of operations in California and "Director of Endowments."

    At the 1994 Islamic Association for Palestine conference in Culver City, Mezain stated that funds raised by HLF "were strictly dollars for Hamas," according to an informant cited in the Dale Watson FBI memo.

    Mezain told the audience at a Los Angeles Islamic conference in late 1994-early 1995 that he had raised $1.8 million for Hamas inside the United States in 1994, according to the FBI memo. The keynote speaker at the conference was Sheikh Muhammed Siyam, introduced as head of Hamas's military wing. Siyam told the crowd: "Finish off the Israelis. Kill them all. Exterminate them. No peace ever."

    While the group's chairman, Mezain "undertook a three-week fund-raising trip to Brazil and followed up on HLF activities there," according to the December 1993 issue of HLF's newsletter. (The New Yorker recently reported (2003) that "Hamas's chief fund-raiser in the Triple Frontier [of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay] is Ayman Ghotme, who collected funds for the Holy Land Foundation.")

    Cousin of Hamas leader Musa Abu Marzuq.

    Haitham Maghawri: executive director and social services coordinator.

    Recently fled the U.S.

    One of three HLF leaders to attend the Philadelphia meeting with Hamas activists in October 1993.

    Maghawri was sent by HLF to bring money to the nearly 400 Hamas activists Israel expelled to south Lebanon in 1992, according to Shukri Abu Baker.

    As part of a 1990 attempt to gain political asylum in the United States (he claimed he was being persecuted for his religion by Amal, a Shiite militia), Maghawri told the Immigration and Naturalization Service that he had been arrested several times in Lebanon, once for placing a car bomb. His asylum request was denied; he subsequently married a U.S. citizen and obtained permanent residency status.

    Akram Mishal: Director of projects and grants

    Recently fled the U.S.

    Cousin of Khalid Mishal, a Hamas leader (whom Israel tried to kill in Jordan).

    Mufid Abdulqater: Top fundraiser.

    Abdulqater was a project manager with the Dallas Public Works and Transportation Department and oversaw the construction of a neighborhood development project in Oak Hills, Texas, in 2001.
    He is the half brother of Khalid Mishal, a Hamas leader.

    Abdulrahman Odeh: Director of HLF East (New Jersey)

    Odeh operated a food bank out of the organization's Paterson, New Jersey, office from February 1999 through December 2001. Odeh and HLF East were registered with the Passaic County Emergency Food Coalition and were active in food bank activities in South Paterson, Clifton and Prospect Park, New Jersey. HLF East remained a member of the Passaic Food Coalition for most of its existence, although it was suspended briefly in 2000. At its peak HLF's food pantry was providing food to about 100 families.

    Several media accounts mention that Odeh's office wall was decorated with grisly photos of victims from the 1994 Hebron massacre, in which a radical Jewish settler opened fire in a mosque, killing 29. Odeh was also quoted in a July 2000 interview in Salon.com as saying that "some of the orphans that we are supporting are the children of Hamas martyrs." Similarly, the Bergen County(N.J.) Record reported that Odeh's office included a poster that declared that the city of Jerusalem "is a Muslim land."

    Charges: Filed against all seven:

    One count of conspiracy to support a foreign terrorist organization (Hamas).

    Eleven counts of providing support to a foreign terrorist organization (Hamas).

    One count of conspiracy to deal in the property of a specially designated terrorist (Hamas).

    Twelve counts of dealing in the property of a specially designated terrorist (Hamas).

    One count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

    Twelve counts of money laundering.

    Additional charges:

    One count of conspiracy to impede the Internal Revenue Service was filed against Shukri Abu Baker and Ghassan Elashi.

    One count of filing a false tax return for a nonprofit organization was filed against Shukri Abu Baker and two counts against Elashi.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Additional Background on the Holy Land Foundation:

    On December 4, 2001, President Bush announced that the FBI and the Treasury Department had moved to seize the assets of The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), beginning with their offices in Texas, California, New Jersey and Illinois. The action is a part of the administration's policy designed to choke off financial support in the war on global terrorism. Treasury Department Secretary Paul O'Neill named the HLF, as well as two Palestinian-based financial organizations, as "Hamas operated organizations." President Bush described Hamas as "one of the deadliest terrorist organizations in the world today," which seeks the total destruction of the State of Israel.

    Various government bodies and agencies have been scrutinizing the HLF for several years. Efforts were actually stepped up just before September 11th terror attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. when the FBI raided InfoCom Corporation, an Internet service provider run by Holy Land's chairman, Ghassan Elashi, and owned by his brother Bayan Elashi, a founder and board member of the Holy Land Foundation. These efforts became part of the administration's war on terror following the September attack. The terror attacks on Israeli civilians, taken credit for by Hamas, prompted the administration to intensify its already serious approach to cracking down on the terrorists' financial infrastructure.

    The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF)
    is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity organization. HLF was founded in 1987 in Los Angeles, California as the Occupied Land Fund to raise funds for what it viewed as Muslim victims of the Palestinian uprising, by its President and CEO, Shukri A. Baker. In 1991, it changed its name to HLF, and it moved to Richardson, Texas in 1993. The HLF has been active in raising funds for Palestinian Muslims in Israel, Lebanon, and the Palestinian Authority. In recent years it also diverted some of its attention to other parts of the world such as Chechnya, Kosovo and Turkey, sending missions and collecting donations. HLF calls itself the nation's largest Islamic charity. In addition to its Texas headquarters, it operates several offices California, Illinois, and New Jersey.

    Connection to terror organization: Hamas

    The HLF has been accused by Israel of funneling funds to Hamas. It has also been under investigation by several government agencies in the U.S. In 1997, Israel banned the Jerusalem-based Holy Land Foundation as a Hamas front-group. That year, Israel raided the group's headquarters and seized documents that allegedly linked the Jerusalem office with the HLF in the U.S. Israel security also arrested the Jerusalem Holy Land Foundation's director, Mohammed Othman (a.k.a. Rahman Anati), for purportedly distributing monthly stipends to families of Hamas suicide bombers. According to the Israeli authorities most of the money Othman dispensed was raised by the HLF operation in Texas. HLF representatives do not deny the fact that it gives money to the orphans and widows of Hamas activists but claim that the money is given on the basis of need and not the political affiliation of the deceased.

    The allegation of supporting families of "martyrs" is substantiated by multiple HLF documents. An Occupied Land Fund 1988 fundraising letter stated, "Is it not out of honesty and sincerity that we all be brothers to the martyr's widow? Should we not stand by her and compensate her children for what they lost by their father's martyrdom?" A March 1993 HLF Ramadan Appeal pledge card declared, "Yes. I can and want to help needy families of Palestinian martyrs, prisoners and deportees." A HLF brochure distributed at a Dayton, OH conference in December 1996 stated that at least 1000 families have benefited from a relief program "aiding distressed families of detainees, deportees, martyrs and other impoverished families to be uplifted to a more mainstream life."

    There is further evidence of HLF connections to Hamas. According to IRS records, more than 10% of HLF funds in 1992 came from Musa Abu Marzuq, Hamas' political director. In a March 1991 fundraising letter, the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), a Dallas group that has distributed official Hamas literature, urged its members to send funds to HLF [then still called the Occupied Land Fund] to support efforts to liberate "Palestine" through the Intifada. According to the Dallas Morning News, "Public records, materials from the two groups (IAP and HLF)… show a pattern of personal, financial and philosophical ties between Hamas and the two nonprofit groups."

    Ideological affiliation with Hamas

    There is considerable evidence demonstrating the ideological affiliation between the HLF and the IAP and Hamas movement.

    In publications of IAP that were published since the start of the second Intifada on September 29, 2000, Hamas suicide bombers are called 'freedom fighters.' Al-Zaitunah, an Arabic paper published by IAP, and considered by Israeli experts as a Hamas paper, publishes anti-Semitic and pro-Hamas materials. The paper is also regularly delivered with Hamas communiqués enclosed. IAP also printed the Hamas charter with a local address of the organization. IAP claims that Hamas statements "were published for information purposes only."

    Gatherings sponsored by IAP and HLF witnessed some very extreme anti-Semitic and radical pro-Hamas rhetoric. In 1989 in an IAP and HLF sponsored event, a masked man took the stage to praise Hamas, describing the 'oceans of blood' it would bring on the Israelis. He also thanked the two organizations, singling them for being early allies of Hamas. Other speakers praised Hamas, and a Hamas banner draped the table from which they spoke. According to The Dallas Morning News, HLF's leaders claimed that sharing the stage with Hamas activists is not equal to supporting it.

    I don't think "they" know what to do. It's a problem that has gotten out of hand and it didn't get that way overnight nor will it be solved overnight.

    And there are too many cooks in the kitchen. Too much bureacracy.
