Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) on Wednesday shared a tweet that advertised a fundraiser for an organization with ties to Hamas and the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p>Tlaib, who has a <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/rashida-tlaib-scrubs-anti-semitic-tweet\/\">long history of anti-Semitic rhetoric<\/a>, retweeted a post from <a href=\"https:\/\/law.wayne.edu\/profile\/au0111#definition-Biographyhttps:\/\/law.wayne.edu\/profile\/au0111%23definition-Biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">critical race theorist<\/a> Khaled Beydoun that urged <a href=\"https:\/\/baitulmaal.org\/donate\/?type=One-Time&amp;onetime-amount=250&amp;category=Respond-Lebanon-Aid&amp;multi=No&amp;utm_source=khaledbeydoun&amp;utm_medium=SIM&amp;utm_campaign=21LEB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">donations to Baitulmaal<\/a>, a Texas-based nonprofit. Experts say Baitulmaal helps fundraise for Hamas and distributes aid to the &#8220;families of martyrs of the Palestinian people.&#8221; And the group&#8217;s leader, Mazen Mokhtar, has been accused of working with the Taliban and other terrorist groups.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd a6T aligncenter\" tabindex=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CbMh8-RsmO3Jyw0Wkz66lJXAx-p1FjP-WqVWGcDmgS1ccoidT6zCxjtV9FEsmc4eJr_zynzrd-1b6MGbBe6bauHTDIDYfeUvih1_sMwOhzA1B98XosKrDUuUw_izNGs74N1xwVoOs0\" width=\"342\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The retweet isn&#8217;t the first time Tlaib expressed support for terrorists. Days after she became a congresswoman, the controversial Democrat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/adl-asks-rashida-tlaib-to-explain-photo-with-man-who-praised-hamas-and-hezbollah\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hosted<\/a> Abbas Hamideh, a pro-Hezbollah activist who has repeatedly compared Israelis to Nazis. She <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/rashida-tlaib-scrubs-anti-semitic-tweet\/\">shared<\/a> a post last year that included an anti-Semitic phrase frequently used by Palestinian terrorist groups that seek to destroy Israel. She subsequently unshared the post.<\/p>\n<p>Baitulmaal works closely with Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, according to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.meforum.org\/7597\/it-time-to-prosecute-terror-finance-again\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2020 analysis<\/a> by the Middle East Forum. The group, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usaspending.gov\/award\/ASST_NON_EIDLGT:3301137998_7300\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">received $10,000<\/a> in emergency coronavirus funding last year, frequently partners with Unlimited Friends Association for Social Development, a Palestinian group that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufa.ps\/en\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">describes<\/a> itself as a &#8220;a social, developmental, educational NGO.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Unlimited Friends Association works with Baitulmaal to hand out cash to the families of Palestinian terrorists, according to the Middle East Forum. These donations complement the Palestinian Authority&#8217;s formal &#8220;Pay to Slay&#8221; program, which has <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/palestinians-funneled-hundreds-millions-terrorists-state-dept-report-reveals\/\">funneled hundreds of millions of dollars<\/a> to Palestinian terrorists. The Palestinian government this year&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/palestinian-government-pays-42000-to-family-of-terrorist-who-killed-israelis\/\">paid $42,000<\/a> to the family of a Palestinian terrorist who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/pa-pays-42000-to-family-of-terrorist-who-murdered-2-israelis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stabbed two Israelis to death<\/a> and wounded two more, including a two-year-old child.<\/p>\n<p>The association, which lists Baitulmaal on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufa.ps\/en\/partners-donors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website&#8217;s<\/a> partners and donors page, is openly hostile towards Israel. The group&#8217;s Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/pWbiKGf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">page<\/a> contains references to &#8220;the filth of the most dirty Jews&#8221; and &#8220;Nazi Zionist jails.&#8221; The association also partners with Islamic Relief, a group with which the State Department cut ties this year because of &#8220;anti-Semitism exhibited repeatedly&#8221; by its leaders.<\/p>\n<p>In 2004, federal agents in Connecticut <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/ledgerupdates\/2007\/04\/man_investigated_for_terror_co.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investigated<\/a> Mokhtar for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/articles\/A48936-2004Aug7.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">running a website<\/a> that &#8220;solicited funds for the Taliban and Chechen mujahideen.&#8221; Mokhtar was not convicted. Three years later, he was arrested on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/usao-nj\/legacy\/2013\/11\/29\/mokhtarindictment.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multi-count indictment<\/a> for filing false tax returns. The lead prosecutor was former New Jersey governor Chris Christie (R.).<\/p>\n<p>Baitulmaal also partners with West Bank-based Hamas organizations. The organization hosted a 2008&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZTJUzZ0D9d4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fundraiser<\/a> for the Yazour Medical Clinic in Nablus, an offshoot of Hamas.
