Jerusalem-based author and investigative journalist Aaron Klein says Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama worked several years with a domestic terrorist to help fund an organization that is a harsh critic of Israel.
Klein, the Jerusalem bureau chief for WorldNetDaily, recently published Schmoozing with Terrorists: From Hollywood to the Holy Land Jihadists Reveal their Global Plans to a Jew. He says from 1999 to late 2002, Senator Obama (D-Illinois) served on the board of an organization known as the Woods Fund, alongside William C. Ayers, who was a member of the notorious Weathermen terrorist group in the 1970s. "This guy Bill Ayers has a very interesting relationship with Barack Obama," notes Klein. "And the only reason Bill Ayers, a confessed, boasting American terrorist, is not in prison is because of prosecutorial conduct because the FBI apparently illegally surveilled [sic] him." Klein says Ayers -- who still serves on the Wood's fund board -- contributed $200 to Obama's senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at numerous public speaking engagements. And when still on the board, Klein says Obama helped provide grants to an organization known as the Arab American Action Network, co-founded by Rashid Khalidi. "They actually mourn the 'catastrophe' of the founding of the state of Israel," says Klein. "They have held and sponsored anti-Israel events. Barack Obama has spoken at some of these events." Kalildi himself, Klein adds, was reportedly an activist for the Palestine Liberation Organization and supports Obama because he claims the Illinois senator is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause.
