Jimmy Carter refuses to cancel speech for Hamas front

(Before It's News)

 Former President Jimmy Carter embracing Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal

A spokeswoman for Jimmy Carter says that, despite national outcry, the former president is going ahead with plans Saturday to deliver the keynote speech at a fundraiser of a Muslim organization that federal prosecutors and a federal judge say is a front group for the terrorist group Hamas.

In what it’s calling a “major” get, the terror-tied Islamic Society of North America has booked Carter as the featured speaker at its national convention in Detroit tomorrow.

It marks the first time that ISNA, which claims to be a moderate umbrella organization for American Muslim groups, has hosted a U.S. president. Carter has also agreed to participate in a breakout discussion session at the event.

In 2007, the Justice Department implicated ISNA in a plot to funnel more than $12 million to Hamas terrorists. According to an unsealed court document, Justice labeled ISNA an unindicted co-conspirator in the successful trial of the Holy Land Foundation, which acted as Hamas’ fundraising arm in America. Much of Holy Land’s leadership is now behind bars.

Hamas is officially designated a terrorist group by the U.S. government. Former Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz says Carter, as “an all-out supporter of Hamas,” may be violating federal laws against providing “material support to a listed terrorist organization.”
