Two US brothers busted in $1.7M Hamas fundraising scheme - that was exposed with help from the NYPD

Two Louisiana brothers are facing terrorism charges for their alleged role in a twisted scheme to fund Hamas under the guise of Gaza humanitarian aid – and they were brought down with the help of the NYPD.

Abdel Adhami and his sibling Omar Adhami were busted in the Pelican State last month for allegedly raising money online and funneling it to Saleem Alzaq, a member of the terror group who regularly uses social media to post Hamas propaganda, according to newly unsealed federal indictments.

Abdel allegedly funneled more than $83,000 to Hamas from 2023 to 2026 while his brother is accused of sending $6,000.

According to Abdel’s complaint, he used several different Snapchat accounts to post Hamas propaganda and raise funds for the terrorist group, in addition to referring followers to a Telegram account.

The Telegram account “almost exclusively posted pro-HAMAS and pro-Palestinian Islamic Jihad messages, videos, and images, while soliciting donations,” the court docs said.

Adbel is accused of sending almost $35,000 to one PayPal account and $46,000 to another between November 2023 and June 2025 — all of which was funneled to Alzaq, the complaint said.

The brothers allegedly used code words to avoid detection including the term “bread” when referring to Hamas fighters and funding.

“This is the message I wanted to deliver to the person who donated the bread,” Alzaq said to Adbel via Snapchat in January 2024, the court documents say.

How long before mayor Imam-dani punishes the NYPD for it’s part in exposing these terrorist fraudsters?

Sounds to me like they could be found as traitors & treated accordingly. Who ever hired them needs to be thoroughly checked out as well.
