Amin Abu Rashid, nicknamed "Amin Abu-Ibrahim" (born ), is a Palestinian-Dutch national, best known for his activism for Hamas and Gaza-bound flotillas. According to a U.S. government exhibit and other sources, Rashid was a member of the Al-Aqsa Foundation in Rotterdam. The al-Aqsa Foundation has been described by the United States as a "critical part of Hamas' transnational terrorist support infrastructure" which "uses humanitarian relief as cover to provide support to the Hamas terrorist organization". In May 2003 the al-Aqsa Foundation was designated by the United States Department of the Treasury as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) entity.〔US v. Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, et al. Exhibit 001-0357, as cited by "The Influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Netherlands", NEFA Report, 2007.〕〔Olmer, Bart. ("Moslimclub op terreurlijst" ), De Telegraaf, 27 April 2011 (in Dutch)〕 As a result of this designation, all assets of the al-Aqsa Foundation have been blocked. Other nations, including the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg and Switzerland, have also banned the al-Aqsa Foundation.〔 In 2009, the Palestine News Network reported that Rashid was the Secretary General of the Popular Forum in the Netherlands.〔 In December 2009, ''Middle East Monitor'' described him as the head of a delegation from the Conference of Palestinians in Europe. ==Role in Gaza-bound flotillas== ''De Telegraaf'' reported in June 2011 that Rashid, who the paper described as the "brain" behind the flotilla, helped arrange the purchase of a Dutch ship for use in the flotilla, allegedly organized the majority of the funding for the flotilla, and had been seen training with the flotilla crew in Greece.〔 As a second flotilla was being formed in June 2011, Israeli Public Affairs and Diplomacy Minister Yuli Edelstein said that: The participation of Hamas member Amin Abu Rashid in the flotilla, who is known for fundraising money for Hamas terror operations, is clear proof that this is not a humanitarian flotilla, but a provocation and a terror operation in disguise of a flotilla. In the previous flotilla, Abu Rashid expressed his intentions to clash with IDF soldiers and we must take into account that this will be his intention in the current flotilla. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amin Abu Rashid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
