Holy Land Foundation, Cindy Sheehan share funding source

Last week, the Holy Land Foundation was convicted of funding Hamas terror activities in Israel to the tune of $5 million. At a rally following the conviction, Noor Elashi, the daughter of HLF chairman Ghassan Elashi, was flanked by one Hadi Jawad, one of HLF's biggest supporters. Jawad supports another 'cause' in the United States: the anti-Semitic raving leftist Cindy Sheehan.

You would be hard-pressed to find two more honorable, spiritual, and dedicated men than Hadi Jawad and John Wolf. They have very diverse backgrounds, and yet agree that their values and morals are so close that they could have been raised in the same family. Jawad and Wolf are being honored by the Dallas Peace Center on December 1 as 2005 Peacemakers of the Year for their tireless work for peace and justice…

[O]n August 5th of this year, Jawad heard that Cindy Sheehan wanted to go to Crawford. He sent her an e-mail inviting her to the Peace House, and the next day drove her down to Crawford. The CPH became the in-town connection for the month long vigil at Camp Casey. The Peace House in Crawford is a busy place these days, with renovations, meetings, and a “homecoming” for Sheehan on Thanksgiving. Jawad says, “How easy it is to feed hundreds of people is the essence of what we do.”

Jawad and Wolf feel that the efforts of the Dallas Peace Center and the Crawford Peace House have raised the consciousness of this whole area…

Jawad and Wolf’s vision for the Crawford Peace House post-Bush is that it will be a center for community. Wolf states, “The Peace House is so much more than President Bush – it is a centralized location where we perform miracles, offering hope to humanity to counter the cult of war.” Jawad adds, “I’d like it to be a permanent memorial to peace and justice, with an historical marker which says, ‘Peace began here’.”

We often wondered who was funding Ms. Sheehan’s noble mission, and now we know. (Though, to be fair, we knew it at the time as well.)

It was a natural enough fit, given Ms. Sheehan’s oft-expressed anti-Semitism.

Read the whole thing. With lots of pictures.
