Terror Suspect Was White House Guest and Recipient of $500k in Taxpayer Fundsby Jim Hoft
Last Friday FBI agents raided the homes of far left activists in Chicago and Minneapolis who are linked to the Marxist FARC terrorists and Islamic radicals as part of a terrorism investigation.
The home of radical Hatem Abudayyeh in Chicago was raided in the terror sweep.
Radical Hatem Abudayyeh protested against Israel in Chicago in January 2009. (Daylife)
Hatem Abudayyeh is the executive director of the Arab American Action Network (AAAN). Hatem Abudayyeh has been with the Arab American Action Network (AAAN) since 1999, and was appointed Executive Director in 2003. The Arab American Action Network was founded by former PLO operative and close Obama family friend Rashid Khalidi. Obama was a director of the Woods Fund from 1994 through 2001, when the board approved a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network.
In 2003 Barack Obama was an honored guest at a dinner sponsored by the AAAN for former PLO-operative Rashid Khalidi. During the dinner a video was taken that shows Barack Obama celebrating with members of this Palestinian group who are openly hostile towards Israel. Barack Obama even gave a toast to a Rashid Khalidi at this going away party. The LA Times will not release the video from this Jew-bashing dinner.
Not only was Hatem Abudayyeh’s radical organization given $40,000 by Barack Obama and the Woods Fund but his organization also collected nearly half a million in taxpayer money.

ABC Local reported:
When FBI agents raided the Chicago home of Hatem Abudayyeh last Friday, they took his laptop computer and paper records, anything with the word “Palestine” on it, according to the man’s attorney.
Federal search warrants indicate that authorities are looking for connections between terrorist organizations in the Middle East and South America and certain anti-war leaders and organizations in the U.S.
As executive director of the Arab American Action Network in Chicago, Mr. Abudayyeh is a well-known advocate for immigrant rights. When federal officers raided his North Side home last week, along with residences in Minneapolis, they were looking for funding links between Abudayyeh and the radical Islamic group Hamas that took power in the Gaza Strip three years ago.
Even as Abudayyeh is under investigation by a federal grand jury, city of Chicago records obtained by the ABC7 I-Team show that his Arab American Action Network has received thousands of dollars in city grants: as much as $457,000 since 1998. According to city officials, the money was intended for an after-school program for high-risk students who struggle with English.
So how did that happen?
And would someone in the Obama Administration explain what Abudayyeh was doing in the White House this year?
Hat Tip Steve H.
This deserves an explanation.

“Redistribution”: FBI-Raided Abudayyeh Funded HAMAS While Being Funded BY Chicago
By Debbie Schlussel
Yesterday, I gave you the exclusive scoop about Chicago-based Palestinian Muslim “activist” and terrorist-financier Hatem Abudayyeh, who was raided by the FBI and whose many anti-war activist friends were subpoenaed for information on money they gave to Abudayyeh and the PFLP, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, as well as its connection to FARC, the South American terrorist group. In my piece, I noted Abudayyeh’s many close Islamic terrorist relatives and that Abudayyeh and his organization (Arab American Action Network) get hundreds of thousands of dollars (actually, millions, if you add it up) in U. S. taxpayer funding. Well, now, the mainstream media and some of the mainstream conservative media have “caught up,” noting without credit to me (of course) that Abudayyeh gets a ton of tax funding. Chicago media are also reporting that Abudayyeh was using PFLP to fund HAMAS.
When federal officers raided his North Side home last week, along with residences in Minneapolis, they were looking for funding links between Abudayyeh and the radical Islamic group Hamas. . . .
Even as Abudayyeh is under investigation by a federal grand jury, city of Chicago records . . . show that his Arab American Action Network has received thousands of dollars in city grants: as much as $457,000 since 1998. According to city officials, the money was intended for an after-school program for high-risk students who struggle with English. . . .
In 2001, Abudayyeh and several others filed a lawsuit against the city, seeking the freedom to wear traditional Arab headwear during Michigan Avenue protests. The case was settled. Terms unknown.
Please. We know the terms. The terms were: they got what they wanted, their lawyers got well-paid, and they got money, too. That’s always how it works with these Muslim activists and our weak pandering politicians and public officials. ‘Cuz ya know it ain’t no security hazard to have a bunch of open supporters of Islamic terrorism marching down the streets with their faces completely covered by keffiyeh’s, right? For security reasons, the only headwear we need regulate is the real, seldom-used Klan hood, not the Muslim version. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Maybe conservatives don’t want to admit that Abudayyeh got a ton of money from the Bush administration, a policy which the Obamaniks are simply continuing. Hey, if the “national security/counterterrorism Prez” can do it, why not Obama? Sorry, but I don’t miss Bush yet. And if you do, see a doctor.
Your tax dollars at work. Your money essentially laundered through him to HAMAS, in the guise of English tutoring for illiterate Muslim illegal alien kiddies. Some tutoring probably took place, but as we all know, money is a fungible good, and these grants allowed him to use more money that he, himself, raised for HAMAS via PFLP and FARC.
So, how long until Abudayyeh is indicted . . . assuming the feds have the guts, and that’s a big assumption. They did nothing against this guy I’ve been complaining about since before 9/11. Don’t look for fast action now.
But if they do act, it’s too little, too late. How many innocent people were murdered courtesy of HAMAS funds he helped raise?
I’ve written about Abudayyeh in the past. Where were the Chicago “investigative reporters”? Busy pandering to him. How funny that they’ve now discovered the guy who was blatantly supporting Islamic terrorism right in their backyard, but were looking the other way and kissing his ass for most of the last decade.
I wish I could say that after all these years and all the damage and mass murder he’s funded, supported, and enabled, that the chickens are coming home to roost. But it’s more like the roost is home to an utter chicken.

EXCLUSIVE – Who is Hatem Abudayyeh?: Meet the FBI-Raided Palestinian “Activist” & Terrorism Financier
By Debbie Schlussel
While I was away for the Jewish holiday, last week, the FBI raided the homes of several Midwestern “anti-war activists,” including Hatem Abudayyeh, the head of the Chicago-based Arab American Action Network. Subpoenas served on the activists sought information on payments made to Abudayyeh and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the Islamic terrorist group which has been responsible for several homicide bombings in Israel, as well as the murder of Israeli Tourism Minister, Rehavam Ze’evi. I’m not surprised at all by this and wondered what took so long, as I’ve been following Abudayyeh for years, know a lot of inside dirt on the guy, and once spoke to him and members of his Muslim-dominated tax-funded Arab welfare agency (AAAN), as part of an undercover investigation into Medicaid fraud with which I was working with the FBI. The guy is clearly working with Islamic terrorists and helping aid the extremist Muslim infiltration into America, and he’s been doing so for years.
Here’s what you don’t know about Hatem Abudayyeh, and you won’t read in any press accounts:
* Hatem Abudayyeh’s two brothers-in-law were Palestinian Islamic terrorists from El Jib, in the so-called “West Bank.” One of them martyred himself in Israeli prison where he was sent after being convicted of terrorist acts during the Intifada (the Palestinian uprising). Another brother-in-law, Jihad Saadeh, has been a terrorist leader in the Palestinian youth terrorist movement. He spent three years in an Israeli prison for his terrorist activities.
* Abudayyeh’s Palestinian parents founded the first Arab (actually, MUSLIM-DOMINATED) community center in Chicago, and the family’s vocal support for Islamic terrorist groups goes back decades.
* Abudayyeh’s wife, Naima Saadeh, met Abudayyeh when his parents sent him to “Palestine” to choose a wife. Her brothers are the terrorists identified above. Ms. Saadeh is a graduate of Al Quds University a/k/a Terrorist U. Her mother goes by the name “Um Mujahed”–Mother of the Jihad Fighter. She works and has worked for two decades in Dar Al-Tiffil orphanage, an orphanage which houses some of the children of Palestinian “martyrs” a/k/a terrorists.
* In a completely frightening development, Abudayyeh’s wife, Ms. Saadeh, works in a Chicago-area Jewish community center daycare. Wanna trust your kid with her? Only if you’re a moron.
* A documentary about Abudayyeh and his wife showed Abudayyeh repeatedly denouncing America while he was in the so-called West Bank looking to marry Saadeh. His statements were typical of those who hate America and support Islamic terrorism, a description that perfectly fits Abudayyeh.
* Abudayyeh’s agency, which receives a good deal of taxpayer money, is involved in helping pregnant Muslim aliens come to America to have their babies here and obtain birthright citizenship, courtesy of Medicaid. During an investigation in which I was involved, I phoned Abudayyeh and his staff and they assured me that they could arrange for me–posing as a pregnant illegal alien Muslim woman–to illegally get Medicaid and phony Social Security numbers so that I could have my fictional baby here courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer and obtain citizenship for my yet-to-be-born child. In addition to this, Abudayyeh’s agency is also heavily involved in helping Muslim illegal aliens infiltrate the United States.
* As I’ve noted on this site before, a fundraising dinner hosted by Abudayyeh, to raise money for his agency, featured a Milwaukee youth dance troupe, Sanabel Al-Quds, which features simulated beheadings of American, British, and Israeli soldiers in its performances.
* Abudayyeh’s wife, Ms. Saadeh has said,
I don’t want to live in America, I don’t want to have an American passport, I don’t want to have a green card. I just want to have my Palestinian ID and that’s it, because Palestine still lives inside of me, so I don’t feel any loyalty to here [America].
Hey, just like hubby. Sadly, she’s given birth for him, and can now teach her progeny the same hate she and her husband have for the country where they live, the same hate her terrorist brothers had.
Hatem Abudayyeh and his wife have made trips back to El Jib, the Palestinian Islamic terrorist hotbed. What did they do there? Whom did they see? How much money did they take to Islamic terrorists from the PFLP? Was Saadeh’s surviving terrorist brother involved?
And where the heck has the FBI been for the last 10 years, since 2000, while Abudayyeh has been openly involved in all of this?
Well, better late than never. But how many innocent people died because of Hatem Abudayyeh’s PFLP terrorist funding . . . while the FBI waited and stalled?
