The Zionist Advocacy Center, which filed the recently unsealed suit in 2015, alleges the Carter Center received more than $30 million in taxpayer grants while violating federal statutes barring it from using the cash to provide material support to terror groups.
The Trump administration is seeking the dismissal of a suit alleging the nonprofit helmed by former president Jimmy Carter has used taxpayer funding to provide material support to international terrorist groups, including Hamas. Carter Center Sued for Providing Support to Terrorists, Defrauding Taxpayers Such irreverence of Palestinian suffering by an Arab media outlet would have been unimaginable a few years ago. According to the infographic, 210 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons since 1967, while 65,000 Syrians have died in regime detention over the past seven years. The infographic shows that while 7,000 Palestinians are incarcerated in Israel, 220,000 Syrians are held in regime detention facilities. On April 17, 2018, when Palestinians mark Prisoner’s Day, a popular Syrian opposition website decided to mark the occasion by posting an infographic comparing Israeli prisons and those of the Assad regime. The extreme levels of brutality meted out by the Assad regime and its allies against civilians in Syria have improved the image of the IDF by comparison across the Arab world. “If had raised her head in front of a Syrian soldier, he would have field executed her.”įar from outliers, these comments exemplify a changing reality among Syrians. “If the Syrian army was like the Israeli army, no one would have been displaced from their home,” another commentator, from Daraa, wrote. “They are better off than us by far, and prisoners are better off compared to how they are treated by Assad’s army and even the revolutionary factions ,” wrote one Syrian from Lattakia. But when the activist posted the Amnesty International video about Israel’s policy of detaining children and Tamimi in particular, most of the group’s members - all of them Syrian - reacted dismissively. Across the world, Tamimi has become a cause celebré, a symbol of the Palestinian resistance to Israel’s occupation. In a popular Syrian news group on Facebook, a Syrian activist recently shared a video of Ahed Tamimi, the Palestinian teenager in jail for slapping an Israeli soldier.
