A Major Hillary Clinton Donor is a Pro-Hezbollah Lebanese Billionaire
From the Washington Free Beacon…
The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation accepted millions of dollars from a former deputy prime minister of Lebanon known for defending Hezbollah…
Issam Fares, a Lebanese billionaire, …has given between $1 and $5 million in donations to the Clintons’ foundation with donations coming as recently as last year…
Fares was a part of the pro-Syria government of Prime Minister Omar Karami during his tenure as deputy prime minister between 2000 and 2005.
Fares decried comparisons drawn between the terrorist organization al Qaeda and Hezbollah after the September 11 terror attacks.
“It is a mistake to make a comparison between the [Al Qaeda] network … which Lebanon has condemned, and Hezbollah, which Lebanon considers a resistance party fighting the Israeli occupation,” Fares told Agence France-Presse. “Hezbollah did not carry out any resistance operation against American interests in Lebanon or abroad and did not target civilians in its resistance activities as happened on Sept. 11 at the World Trade Center.”
EDITOR’S NOTE: THIS IS FALSE. HEZBOLLAH TARGETED US MARINES IN BEIRUT AND TOOK CIVILIANS HOSTAGE IN LEBANON.
