Cut Off US Aid To Israel? First Cut Off Aid To Hamas From Ohio!

From Pajamas Media:

The Jerusalem Post reported on Monday that Israeli Defense Forces aircraft bombed suspected Hamas terror laboratories located at the Hamas-run Islamic University of Gaza (IUG).

According to the article, IUG professors were using the labs to build explosives for the terrorist organization. A BBC report confirmed that the IUG science building was the target of the Israeli retaliatory strikes.

Thus far unreported is that the IUG science and technology lab was financed and constructed with the assistance of the Dublin, Ohio-based Arab Student Aid International (ASAI). In fact, the IUG website has a page dedicated to ASAI’s ongoing contributions to the Hamas institution and specifically mentions the labs financed by the Ohio Islamic group. Additionally, the ASAI website promotes its assistance in creating the IUG science and technology center, which was completed in 2002.

Apparently Islamic University of Gaza has other uses as well:

Abbas' Special Forces, which raided Hamas' stronghold last weekend, were looking not only for arms but also for any lead on kidnapped Israeli. Palestinian sources say Shalit was held at university for most of his time in captivity but was relocated in mid-October

Campus life has changed quite a bit since I went to college.

At Israpundit, Jerry Gordon makes a suggestion:

Shouldn’t the Saudi- backed charity, Dublin, Ohio-based Arab Student Aid International (ASAI) have its IRS 501 c3 designation revoked by the US Treasury as an accomplice to a State Department designated foreign terrorist organization, Hamas? We belive that this is something for Treasury Undersecretary for Financial Intelligence and Terrorism, Stuart Levey to act on before the Bush Administration turns out the lights on January 20th.

No reason for the government to give terrorists a bailout too.
