Funny I was just reading about the Holy Land Foundation yesterday

Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development'), originally known as Occupied Land Fund, was the largest Islamic charity in the United States. Headquartered in Richardson, Texas,[1] and run by Palestinian-Americans.[2] The organization's mission was to "find and implement practical solutions for human suffering through humanitarian programs that impact the lives of the disadvantaged, disinherited, and displaced peoples suffering from man-made and natural disasters."

During the 1990s, American politicians, including Chuck Schumer and Eliot Spitzer,[3][4] alongside the Israeli government[5] and Steve Emerson,[6] lobbied the U.S. government to take action against the Holy Land Foundation.[7] In December 2001, the U.S. designated HLF a terrorist organization, seized its assets, and closed the organization. At the time it was the largest Muslim charitable organisation in the United States

Fucking ghouls

Fifteen Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure.

Imagine hating Muslims so much that you give your political opponents the tools to suppress you.

[-] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 32 points 15 hours ago

imagine thinking the democrats and the republicans are political opponents

Death to America

Was almost sure this would pass, it did dog-screm hopefully groups like the ACLU can minimize the damage so every group that protests isn't immediately regarded as a terrorist group, Democrats doing a fantastic job of making me somehow even less likely to vote next time around

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 19 points 15 hours ago

ACLU? Believe it or not, terrorist organization

[-] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 39 points 17 hours ago

blob-no-thoughts i'm glad terrorism is a term with such a universally understood, concrete definition

[-] darkcalling@hexbear.net 32 points 16 hours ago

This is the kind of stuff you need to shove in the faces of liberals. They claim have to vote blue to stop le evil dictator Trump and yet what does their party do? Go out of their way to give him dictatorship tools. They cannot claim they're anything but slightly nervous and reticent accomplices instead of any kind of resistance to him and therefore voting blue is not resisting, it's just another form of enabling and deluding yourself.

This is doing the "look how unscientific your beliefs are" that libs do to republicans except from the left to libs. It doesn't land and never will on account of you do not share the same axioms

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 14 points 15 hours ago

It does land, a lot. Hence why there are millions of disaffected Democrats who no longer identify as Democrats

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago

11 million people didn't vote for the dems, I think it lands sometimes

[-] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 4 points 14 hours ago

Only the house passed it. Definitely wait for the Senate to pass it to avoid looking like a crank.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 48 points 18 hours ago

Fucking democrats. What was their reasoning?

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 28 points 17 hours ago

Of fucking course Debbie Wasserman Schultz voted for it

[-] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 24 points 17 hours ago

You can only be a terrorist if you are a for profit organization, the true American way

[-] Jabril@hexbear.net 26 points 17 hours ago

Is this going to be for "Trump's political opponents" or are groups like PYM going to be classified as terrorists?

[-] TheDrink@hexbear.net 25 points 16 hours ago

By 2028 I bet fukken Code Pink and Jewish Voice for Peace will be classified as terrorist movements.

[-] VARXBLE@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 16 hours ago

I'd argue its an act of terrorism to donate to either major American political party.

[-] mactan@lemmy.ml 7 points 16 hours ago
