SNIPPET: "The Turkish-based charity that helped drive last week's deadly confrontation with Israeli commandos has deep ties to Hamas and other terrorist groups. The Hamas ties are not in question. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and IHH officials simply do not acknowledge that Hamas is a terrorist group."

SNIPPET: "U.S. officials have expressed concern over the fact that "IHH representatives have met with senior Hamas officials in Turkey, Syria, and Gaza over the past three years," but IHH is not a designated terrorist organization in the United States.

It's fair to ask, why not?"

SNIPPET: "Hamas is a designated terrorist organization in the U.S...."

SNIPPET: "The U.S. Treasury has designated an umbrella organization of which IHH is part due to its fund-raising activities on behalf of Hamas and Hamas-controlled organizations in the West Bank and Gaza. The Union of Good is a collection of charities run by Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi.

And IHH has had operations in the United States. According to a Turkish news article, IHH spent up to 10 weeks delivering relief supplies in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005. In doing so, Yildirim was harshly critical of the U.S. In a news release by IHH,..."

SNIPPET: "Fox News' Ben Evansky reported last week that IHH has been a United Nations-accredited non-governmental organization since 2004."

SNIPPET: "Meanwhile, a French judge is sticking to his assessment that IHH played an "important role" in the Al-Qaeda planned Millennium bomb plot." SNIPPET: "Yet the "Freedom Flotilla" will not be the last of IHH's efforts to enter Gaza. Galloway, after engaging in an "extensive discussion in Istanbul," announced to thousands of protestors in London on Saturday his plans for a land and sea convoy to Gaza in September."

The EU expanded its roster of member states from those of the recently liberated Communist bloc while Turkey had stood by for decades, as staunch, indispensable ally doing all it could to curry favor, hat in hand, pleading to have its geopolitical desires fulfilled of being embraced by the West as the proud, progressive, secular nation they are.

But the EU fearing unfettered immigration of Muslims would have none of it. And despite all that Turkey was more than ready, willing able to give in exchange for their political desires, economic reform, women's rights, even the death penalty, all of the remnants of their medieval society, it would never be enough to allay the EU's fears of open borders with a Muslim population as large as Turkey.

So this is the price we are all going to pay for the lofty ideals of European enlightenment which have a world of political credibility so long as you are Christian.

Violence and Humanitarian Aid
INVESTIGATIVE PROJECT - IPT News ^ | June 1, 2010 | n/a

SNIPPET: “Condemnations of Israel’s commando raid on the flotilla trying to break a blockade on Gaza are pouring in after 10 people were reported killed in the violence at sea early Monday.

Egypt announced Tuesday that it would open its border with Gaza, which Reuters describes as “a major boost for Hamas and a blow to efforts by Israel and its Western allies to cripple the Islamists.” Turkey is threatening to send more ships, escorted by its own navy, while there are fears Hizballah will use the incident to justify a new wave of rocket attacks toward Israel.

Was it, as some suggest, the plan of flotilla organizers all along?

It’s worth remembering why the aid was being transported by sea in the first place. A convoy led by then-British MP George Galloway ended in violence at the Egyptian-Gaza border in early January after authorities delayed their entry into Gaza.

An Egyptian police officer was shot and killed by Hamas gunmen. Egypt deported Galloway, made it clear he was unwelcome there again, and told the convoy it could no longer enter through its crossing. Galloway’s partner in that convoy was the Turkish-based International Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH), which helped lead the flotilla.

IHH was a key player in the Free Gaza Movement flotilla. Israeli officials say IHH is tied to Hamas, and even to al Qaeda, and it was banned in Israel in 2008 for being “part of Hamas’s fundraising network.” Court papers in the U.S. prosecution of Abdurahman Alamoudi also tie it to terrorist activity, citing French intelligence expert Jean Louis-Bruguiere’s assessment that IHH played “[a]n important role” in the Millennium bomb plot.

IHH also is part of the Union of Good, a collection of charities run by Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi. The union was designated by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2008 as a terrorist entity due to its fund-raising activities on behalf of Hamas and Hamas-controlled organizations in the West Bank and Gaza.”

MAY 21, 2010 : (NY : SADDAM HUSSEIN OIL VOUCHER RECIPIENT, U.K. MP GEORGE GALLOWAY, ATTENDS FUNDRAISER IN BROOKLYN ---- see IHH, VIVA PALESTINA, BROOKLYNCELL) IHH and Erdogan receive continuous support from Galloway and Viva Palestina, particularly after VP partnered with IHH during its last convoy to Gaza in January [2010].
"The IHH organization was founded by the Turkish leader and hero of the Islamic world, Tayyip Erdogan," Galloway said during a fundraiser in Brooklyn May 21[, 2010]. Turkish writers indicate this is not true, but Galloway seems intent on heaping praise on the Turkish leader:

"How I wished, as we entered the Arab world, that the Arab countries had a leader like Erdogan. What a difference the Muslim world would be in if they were all led by Erdogans! I have never forgotten the performance at Davos, where in the face of the killer Peres, Erdogan called him a child killer, told him how good he was at killing children, and stood up, unhooked his microphone, and began to walk off the stage."

JANUARY 2004 : ("AL MADA LIST" IS PUBLISHED) The beneficiary list (found in the archives of the Iraqi Oil Ministry and translated into English by the Middle East Media Research Institute) should be deeply embarrassing to many prominent people. In the United States, those listed include Iraqi American businessman Shaker Al-Khaffaji, who put up $400,000 to produce a film by ex-U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter, which aimed to discredit weapons inspections in Iraq. Also, British Labor MP George Galloway, a strident foe of taking action against Saddam, is listed as a recipient or co-recipient of 19.5 million barrels. Other recipients include: former French Interior Minister Charles Pasqua (12 million barrels); Patrick Maugein, CEO of the oil company Soco International and financial backer of French President Jacques Chirac (25 million); former French Ambassador to the United Nations Jean-Bernard Merimee (11 million); Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri (10 million); and Syrian businessman Farras Mustafa Tlass, the son of longtime Syrian Defense Minister Mustafa Tlass (6 million). Leith Shbeilat, chairman of the anti-corruption committee of the Jordanian Parliament, received 15.5 million. 7 posted on 04/21/2004 2:35:40 AM PDT by kcvl

Galloway is apparently married to or living with Aminah Abu-Zayyhad, a neice of the filthy rich late PLO chief Yassir Arafat.
