Congressional Democrats, including members of the “Squad,” have received campaign donations from Hussam Ayloush, CEO of the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
CAIR has been accused of ties to Palestinian terrorism and was named as an “unindicted co-conspirator” of Hamas in a 2009 terrorism financing case.
Ayloush has made donations to several Democratic politicians, prompting criticism and calls for returning the funds due to CAIR’s alleged support for designated terrorists. (Trending: U.S. State Passes Personal Pronoun Ban)
Peter Flaherty, CEO of the conservative National Legal and Policy Center watchdog group, said, “The lawmakers should not take any such donations, and they should return them.”
“These members of the ‘Squad’ have a bum rap when it comes to antisemitism. It’s a problem,” he continued.
Investigator Susannah Johnston for Focus on Western Islamism, said, “Voters should take note of who is funding their elected officials.”
Hussam Ayloush wrote on X, “And if Israel did not occupy Palestine, steal Palestinian land to build illegal settlements for Jews-only, and impose its brutal apartheid on Palestinians, there would not be a Hamas, PLO, or Fatah to begin with.”
“Let’s end that barbaric and racist occupation,” she continued.
Will Reinert, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said, “Cashing checks from those who justify Hamas raping Israeli women and burning babies alive in ovens tells you all you need to know about extreme House Democrats.”
“They’re antisemitic, and they’ll always side with barbaric terrorists over innocent Israelis,” he continued.
The donations and connections have raised concerns about antisemitism and support for Hamas within certain political circles.
