Report: U.S. suspects charity gave millions to terror groups

[Gimel]

United States authorities suspect an American-based
charity organization has funneled millions of
dollars to various terror groups, including Hamas,
Islamic Jihad and Al-Qaida, the Washington Post
reported Saturday.

The Safa Group, also known as the SAAR network, which
consists of charity organizations, think tanks and
businesses based in northern Virginia, allegedly sent $26
million dollars in untraceable money to overseas terror
groups. The money was raised primarily by donations from a
wealthy Saudi Arabian family, the paper said.

1. If it is 'untraceable' how did they trace it???

[Darranar]

2. Minor...

in comparison to the amount of US aid that goes to the IDF.

But this is bad, and needs to be stopped. However, you can't stop it by randomly scapegoating charity groups that give to the Palestinians. You have to investigate it and prove the claim.

[Gimel]

6. No US aid

While some aid to Israel supports military operations, most goes for repaying previous loans and emergency economic measures due to the damage of the Intifada on the Israeli economy.

[Darranar]

7. You contradicted yourself.

[Gimel]

8. The subject

No contradiciton in the text message. Your suggestion that US aid is the equivelent of Saudi Money given to US charities which funnel donations into terrorist organizations is crude.

[Darranar]

9. Military aid...

is numbered at around 1-2 billion.

[Gimel]

10. It's not the numbers in $

it's the morality that is crude.

[Darranar]

11. How?

[Gimel]

12. Sorry.

I can't cure blindness.

[Darranar]

13. Let me ask you this:

Why are those who murder and harm innocent Palestinians better than those who murder and harm innocent Israelis?

[Gimel]

14. The deaths of innocents

On both sides the deaths of innocent civilians are the regrettable toll. Isreal tries to minimize innocinet deaths. Palestinian terrorists try to maximize innocent deaths.

[Darranar]

15. Except when it doesn't...

the Israeli "Defense" Force is not known for its humanitarian nature.

Bulldozing houses, using lethal force during curfews, extra-judicial assasinations in the middle of crowded streets, being careless when being shot at...

[DuctapeFatwa]

3. Providing humanitarian aid to Muslim children is a very serious thing

Knowingly aiding and abetting the terrorist act of providing contraband water, food and medicine to children in direct violation of the US-funded Israeli Policy of Starvation constitutes the worst kind of terrorism, as it has the potential to impact not only the Crusade itself, but future arms sales as well.

[Gimel]

4. The aid

should go to the legitimate government to use for legitimate purposes of aiding those who need medical attention, not to the terrorist orgaizations who try to make themselves appear legitimate by running charity as a front.

[Darranar]

5. No it shouldn't...

it should go straight to the Palestinian people.
