Barack Obama Receives Illegal Donations from Palestinians

Tony Jingo
The evening edition of WorldNetDaily (WND) publicized a report detailing illegal campaign contributions to Barack Obama. WND reported two Palestinian brothers from the Hamas controlled Gaza Strip donated $29,500 to Obama's campaign.

Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the Federal Election Commission (FEC), confirmed to investigative reporters that donations from foreigners are illegal and donations from individuals cannot exceed $ 2,300 for a single election. The $ 29,500 donation from the Palestinians clearly violates the law on both fronts.

Perhaps Barack Obama's announcement that he is a "citizen of the world" puts him above American law. I'm sure Barack's European compatriots would forgive his Palestinian gifts, equally forgiving will be the American media.

So how do a few brothers from the Hamas controlled Gaza Strip donate nearly $30,000 to Obama, and who are these Palestinian brothers? Well, here is what is reported with supporting resources:

On July 31, Atlas Shrugs' blog reports a reader discovered the illegal donations by perusing the FEC site. Once there she uncovered the Middle Eastern donors' infusion of cash, dating back to October 2007.

Most folks I spoke to didn't think it probable that a couple of Gaza Strip dudes would raise that much cash for an American election. Then again, most of those folks were not aware of Barack Obama's Gaza Campaign Head Quarters, check that video out here: Gaza's Obama campaign

Blogger, Debbie Schlussel discovered a third Palestinian brother that also donated to Obama. The third brother is Osama Edwan. The other two bros are Homas and Monir Edwan.

At the time of this writing it couldn't be determined if the third brother that Debbie discovered was a fictitious third party created by the illegal donors. It is possible that the Hamas controlled supporters realizing that their contributions were adding up made some lame attempt to make it appear the money was coming from different sources. That would make sense if they had some vague knowledge of American election law. Regardless if Osama the Obama donor is real or contrived, the Middle Eastern brothers by virtue of their foreign status is not allowed to make such contributions. Can someone please inform Mr. World Citizen?

The Gaza brothers electronically sent their donations to Barack Obama. On the forms, they listed their street as "Tal Esaltan," located in "Rafah, GA."

Rafah is NOT a city in Georgia. "GA" in this case stands for GAZA. Come on folks, can it get any more obvious? Perhaps, when you receive illicit donations with the Left hand, you only read the forms with the Left eye and in Obama's case, the more subversive the better.

The Edwans' donations are listed in official FEC filings and other election filing sites, such as CampaignMoney and donordata.org.

A WND investigation tracked down the Edwans, who are brothers living in the Tal Esaltan neighborhood of Rafah, a large refugee camp in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. The Edwans are a large clan that includes top Hamas supporters.

The brothers initially claimed the money they sent Obama were not donations. They ridiculously claimed they purchased Barack Obama T-shirts, which they peddled to their Hamas controlled brethren and fellow Obama supporters. They alleged the T-shirts sold for a profit at $9.00 a piece. When it was brought to their attention that the Obama campaign sells the shirts for 17 bucks and it was virtually impossible to get the goods shipped to their location due to various blockades, a concession was apparent:

"We don't want to cause any damage to Obama's campaign," was Edwan's reply. Mr. Edwan said he wants Obama to be president.

Unfortunately, the implications are more severe than the purchase of campaign T-shirts. I can only hope and pray that the Obama Head Quarters in Gaza fails. One of Obama's co-chairs in the states is the illustrious Jesse Jackson Jr. Who do you think is running the campaign in the Gaza Strip? Louis Farrakhan, or did Barack finally find a place for Reverend Wright?

    Quite alright April. Call me anything you wish as long as it's not late for dinner ;-)

    Tony, betchya didn't know your name was now "nick, did you? ha! (I had just commented on one of his articles and I think I had a brain pause. I know who you are! (I feel so dumb!)

  • April Lorier8/14/2008

    Nick, I am waiting with baited breath to watch the Tuesday night Hillary speaks at the Democratic Convention. I feel something unusual will happen, and the next day Obama will be saying, "What did I do? Why did I ever invite her to speak?" Ha! Should be fun! Maybe I'll buy some popcorn and make a night of it! ha!

    It's comfortable in the sand Marie Anne. Just ignore the grit that gets into all the crevices and one can hide from reality.

    Forewarned is forearmed - why does John Q Public still have his head in the sand?

  • Kassidy Emmerson8/13/2008

    A fine job of reporting this, Tony. I hadn't heard of this before so am surprised.

  • Jeanne Marie Kerns8/12/2008

    :-) great article ;-)

    $29K is a miniscule donation probably made to make Obama look bad. Look at all the oil companies donating to the Republican candidates. Well written article.

    I contend that the rising oil prices will lower as soon as the election is over. These prices are artificial and meant to make the present administration look bad so THEIR (the oil moguls) candidate of choice wins. There are so many ways to influence elections that it's ridiculous. We are affected by subminal and hidden messages daily....and no, I'm not a paranoid person. I do not wear a foil hat to keep "them"from reading my brain (as though there would be anything I haven't openly written) There are money men that control our economy, market and cost of oil. These have the biggest impact on the election. The market is easy to control if you have enough money (Soros and cronies?) I understand that because of my 20+ years as a broker. The price of oil is also easy to manipulate if you're the source.
