(Free Beacon) A coalition of senators on Wednesday petitioned the IRS and other federal law enforcement agencies to launch an investigation into the Palestine Chronicle, alleging the nonprofit outlet violated its tax-exempt status by routinely publishing a Hamas hostage taker, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Led by Sen. Ted Budd (R., N.C.), the six senators say the little-known outlet violated American anti-terrorism laws by employing Abdallah Aljamal, a Gazan journalist who was killed over the weekend when Israeli forces discovered several of their hostages in his family’s home. Israeli military officials confirmed to the Free Beacon earlier this week that Aljamal was actually a Hamas affiliate, and reports show that he was writing for the Palestine Chronicle during the time he imprisoned Israeli civilians.
