Report: American Islamist charities funding terror in Gaza

(IPT) A Gaza-based charity that ostensibly receives humanitarian funds from U.S. and Western Islamist benefactors has close ties to a designated terrorist group, a new report by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC) finds.

Board members for the Generosity Without Limit Association (“Generosity Association”), a charitable organization operating in the Gaza Strip since 2007, either serve as operatives or have close affiliations with an umbrella group called the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC). Israel declared the PRC a terrorist organization in 2006. It claims the PRC is funded and trained by Hamas. Its largest attack came in 2011, killing eight Israeli civilians and wounding another 20.

The Generosity Association is supported by several Islamist charities in the United States, France, Britain, Turkey, and Israel.
