| 2017-04-15 |
| [ALGEMEINER] The US State Department designated Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, terror commander Abu Anas al-Ghandour as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist last week, imposing sanctions on Ghandour for "posing a significant risk of committing acts of terrorism that threaten the security of US nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States." The State Department clarified that the sanctions prohibit US citizens from "engaging in transactions or dealings" with the Gazoo-based Ghandour, and that all of his property -- subject to US jurisdiction -- was deemed "frozen." Ghandour, a high-level Hamas operative, has been involved in numerous terrorist operations, including an attack in 2006 on an IDF outpost at the Kerem Shalom crossing along the Israel-Gazoo border. The terror attack killed two Israeli soldiers and resulted in the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was held captive by Hamas for five years before being freed in a controversial prisoner exchange deal. Hamas front man Sami Abu Zuhri ...a senior spokesman for Hamas. Zuhri gained notoriety in 2006 when he dropped his money belt containing somewhere between 640,000 and 900,000 euros, which was confiscated by Paleostinian security and customs officials at a routine border crossing from Egypt to Gaza. The news brought competing Hamas and Fatah forces to the crossing checkpoint for an epic face-making and hollering contest... called Ghandour’s blacklisting "an attempt to invert the real situation, because the real terrorist is the one who furnishes the arms of the occupier (Israel) to kill the children of Paleostine," referring to the US. |
