Hamas Terrorists Guaranteed Code Pink’s Safety in Gaza

[Note: This is the latest segment in an ongoing series about Code Pink and its co-founder Jodie Evans. Click here to read earlier articles.]
How deep are the ties between the so-called antiwar group Code Pink and the terrorist group Hamas? Deep enough that Hamas guaranteed Code Pink’s safety when the group led an international delegation of anti-Israel leftists to Gaza in late December for the ‘Gaza Freedom March.’
Code Pink claims to have delivered “tens of thousands of dollars in humanitarian aid” to Hamas-controlled Gaza to protest a blockade of the terrorist enclave by the civilized world.
Before Code Pink departed for Egypt where the march was based, co-founder Medea Benjamin told the Western Massachusetts publication The Reminder that Hamas “has pledged to ensure our safety.”
Hamas organized the ‘Freedom March’ in Gaza for Code Pink and provided security. The terrorist group protected the marchers during their two-day stay in Gaza by establishing tight control over their movements and contacts in Gaza and by forcing them to stay in a Hamas-owned hotel that one marcher described as “the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The 5 star Commodore hotel in Gaza city with a view of the Mediterranean Sea.”
Hamas ‘Prime Minister’ Ismail Haniyeh addressed the marchers in Gaza by cell phone, while other Hamas officials spoke in person.
Code Pink was co-founded by Jodie Evans, a top donor and fundraiser for President Barack Obama. Jodie Evans has maintained close ties with Obama and his administration throughout the first year of Obama’s term in office, including two visits to the White House in June just days after a previous Code Pink trip to Gaza where they were given a letter from Hamas to deliver to Obama. The White House visitor log below shows Jodie Evans’ name circled in red.

Code Pink says it has organized seven delegations to Hamas-controlled Gaza in the past year.
Jodie Evans and Code Pink were joined in Egypt on this visit by other friends of Obama, including his Hyde Park, Chicago neighbors, former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
Code Pink’s initiation of its pro-Hamas, anti-Israel campaign followed a September 2008 meeting with Hamas patron President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran in New York City. Two months later, shortly after Obama was elected U.S. president, Jodie Evans and Code Pink visited Iran at the personal invitation of Ahmadinejad. The group stayed mainly in Tehran and was taken by the head of the U.S. Desk of Iran’s Foreign Ministry Davood Mohammad Niar to visit the holy city of Qom.
Since its inception in 2002, Code Pink has worked closely with terrorist groups and state sponsors of terrorism to undermine the United States’ efforts in the war on terror. At the same time, the group has been embraced by the ‘progressive’ wing of the Democratic party at all levels, including the White House.
Code Pink’s latest trip to Gaza was timed to mark the one year anniversary of Israel’s defensive action in Gaza in December, 2008 to stop Hamas’ indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israeli civilians. Over 3300 rockets had been launched from Gaza into Israel in the preceding months.
Hamas marked the anniversary by launching several rockets into Israel while Hamas hosted the Code Pink delegation.
Code Pink endorsed the “Cairo Declaration to End Israeli Apartheid” by the the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas leftists gathered for the ‘Gaza Freedom March.’ The declaration calls for a boycott of Israel encompassing economics, travel, academics, culture and sports, with a focus on intimidating workers through trade unions.
The declaration also denounces Egypt’s construction of deep underground walls to block smuggling tunnels into Gaza.
Jodie Evans and Code Pink called the tunnels “the commercial lifeline for the people of Gaza” in a statement issued January 7th announcing that Code Pink was joining a lawsuit against the Egyptian government over construction of the subterranean barrier.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this past week that Iran uses the tunnels to smuggle rockets into Gaza for use against Israel.
A U.S. Treasury Department statement issued in 2003 gave a succinct description of U.S. sanctions against Hamas:
Under Executive Order 13224, the United States government may block the assets of HAMAS (which it has done) and the assets of individuals and entities owned or controlled by; acting for or on behalf of; or providing support, financial or otherwise, to designated terrorists and terrorist organizations. HAMAS has been designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (66 Fed. Reg. 51088) and as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) under Executive Order 13224, “Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons who Commit, or Support Terrorism.”
Will Code Pink be prosecuted by Obama’s Justice Department for aiding Hamas?
Fat chance as Obama received about $33,000 in illegal campaign contributions from Gaza during his presidential campaign which the campaign reported to the FEC as having been made from the state of Georgia. The campaign eventually returned the money to the Gazans.

An execution for TREASON –might wake up Code Pink. ( i.e. Rosenbergs)
Jane Fonda should have been the first.
Never too late to start.
It's not the Code Pink Jodie Evans on the WH visitor logs. It's a different one.
Just a coincidence.
And you're a racist.
"Will Code Pink be prosecuted by Obama’s Justice Department for aiding Hamas?"
I'm still LOL over that. Are you trying to out-do Greg Gutfield in the ruin-my-keyboard contest?
Seriously, I appreciate a rhetorical question as much as the next person, but it's common knowledge around here that for as long as the current administration is in power, terrorists are not the bad guys; law-abiding, God-fearing people are. Obama probaly sympathizes with Hamas and sees Israel as the main problem in the Middle East.
See !! Terrorists are nice to people……..you just have to be nice to them…
Code Pink treasonous? They are just another lump under Eric Holders rug. /s
Fu***** trash should have stayed over there!!
I'd love to see Obama answer the question as to why he or his staff is holding meetings with terrorists sympathizers?
CIA?????? FBI?????? Where are you??!!
Can't wait for the upcoming photos of the group at a market ful of fresh produce and other food items. Of course the produce will be properly segregated, can't have women buying cucumbers or bananas, might give them the wrong idea about their less than adequate "slave masters."
revoke their passports and let them remain there!
Once the government is in the hands of sane people, these traitors will be arrested, tried, and in some instances executed for high treason.
So, raising money for Hamas? Last I heard, this qualified as a terrorist activity. The Holly Land Foundation in Dallas did it a few years ago, and the people that ran that are now in Federal Prison for up to 65 years. How come the Code Pinkos get to do exactly the same thing with Obama's blessing???
Nope. We save that treatment for patriots like Michael Yon.
If Jodie Evans loves Islam so much, then why isn't she wearing a Burka and following Sharia Law?
United States Code, 18 U.S.C. § 2381 : "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death"
These pigs are dispicable. Aiding and abeting murderous terrorists (redundant?) should be prosecuted but, as the article states, that would be biting the hand that fed Obama and the Democrats.
Terrorism is a side show for Obama – transforming America into a Euro-style Nanny state is his main goal.
Obamanomics – bad for working Americans
Obamanomics – good for rich bankers, lawyers and "climate change" scammers…
Hamas marked the anniversary by launching several rockets into Israel while Hamas hosted the Code Pink delegation
How unfortunate that Israel didn't decide at that moment to return fire. I usually try to respect human life, but Code Pink fails the first part of that test.

Investigation into MI5 torture allegations could jeopardise national securityHe said the order would apply to the group’s other names, including Al Muhajiroun.
“I have today laid an order which will proscribe Al Muhajiroun, Islam4UK, and a number of the other names the organisation goes by,” he said.
“It is already proscribed under two other names – Al Ghurabaa and The Saved Sect.
“Proscription is a tough but necessary power to tackle terrorism and is not a course we take lightly.
“We are clear that an organisation should not be able to circumvent proscription by simply changing its name.”
The law to ban the group is made in a parliamentary order which was laid in the House of Commons today.
Islam4UK is lead by Anjem Choudary, who founded Al Muhajiroun in the 1980s with radical cleric Omar Bakri Mohammad.
Choudary’s announcement of a planned march through Wootton Bassett caused dismay.
The Wiltshire town, near to RAF Lyneham where fallen servicemen are repatriated, has come to symbolise the country’s commitment to its war dead.
Critics called for police to ban the march in advance, but Choudary dropped the idea on Sunday.
The ban is an extension of an existing order made under the Terrorism Act 2000 that bans the group under the name Al Ghurabaa and The Saved Sect.
From Thursday it will be banned under the names Call to Submission, Islam4UK, Islamic Path, and London School of Sharia
An lest we forget, our wonderful AG, Holder, is a defense attorney for a firm that defends terrorists & has proven several times in the last year to have contempt for law.
It wouldn't surprise me if she and her cronies let a few of the fuses.
The Code Pink assclowns are now directly aiding and abetting the Taliban and Hamas—two of America’s enemies and prolific terrorist groups—with Obama’s blessing.
Last I checked, the Taliban is one of the enemies in our war against Islamofascist terrorism. Hamas is also on that list. Obama has appointed Code Pink, a pro-terrorist group, to lend support to the Taliban and Hamas in a depraved subversion of our national security and our efforts in this war.
Of course, the Obama State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and The Department of Justice see nothing wrong with these acts of treason; and to top it off, Obama is a collaborator.
Hello??? FBI???
Tell me again how our POTUS is not tied in with the terrorists?. /s
This group should be tried for treason.
Code Pink and ACORN… red meat for an angry base. Meanwhile, your clock is being cleaned in the congress. Focus on the ants and the elephants will stop you every time.
Code Pink and Hamas = Clear and present danger…
If Hamas is clearly a terrorist organization identified by our gov (which it clearly is), then code pink is guilty of treason. A real administration with any guts whatsoever would investigate and prosecute.
Oh, just remembered… Our Commender in Chief is a muslim… He won't do anything.
How is tex4 a racist? Jagoff. Of course it's a DIFFERENT Jodie Evans….OF Course it is. Yeah. Right. Pathetic. That is aiding and abetting the enemy. They will NOT prosecute them. The White House sent them. Unreal.
Iran will also guarantee Grody Evans saftey!
…………..UNLESS you contributed to the liberal in charge.
? You really didn't get the joke/sarcasm? Really?
Not surprising that the code pinkies played the part of unwitting human shields for hamas.
Jodie Evans will get hers when we win back our country. She believes she is immune from prosecution. I don't think there is a statue of limitations on treason. Maybe she and her pinko followers will leave and go live over there. then we will have her out of our hair. Take your muslim and chief with you!
Sooner or later, Code Pink will be one sorry group.
Right? I even put the little winky emoticon at the bottom, "just to be sure". Nothing is foolproof.
No pig shall sleep in a bed…. with sheets.
Because of the US military.
Would not surprise me if they weren't so "unwitting" about it.
We can walk and chew gum at the same time. Don't get worried.
Bingo. You and I are the enemy now. Me! Can you believe that? Becasue I am not a left wing radical but a level headed man who loves my country the way it was founded. Getting scary round here'
Too, insane.
The Bible says that the resident who neglects their own house is worse than the invader.
Liberals are public enemy number one, in my opinion, and Terrorists are actually second.
Isn't Woodrow Wilson's trading with the enemies act still on the books? If so, then Obama is in violation of not enforcing a law that comes under high crimes and misdemeanors. After all, and Hillary Clinton said during the Nixon impeachemnt hearings, a crime is whatever the congress says it is.
Besides, it was probably Obama that asked Code Pink to go over there and nicey-nice it up with Hamas.
Just because Obama said he wouldn't engage in one-on-one talks with terrorists (like what he says means anything anymore) doesn't mean he won't send his flying monkeys to do it for him.
Frozen solid, afraid of being prosecuted for enforcing the laws.
Code Pink, Viva Palestina, et al have been told they would no longer be welcome in Egypt. The crossing at Rafah will no longer be used to allow aid in by those groups. It seems they have highly embarrassed Mrs. Mubarak by their actions in Egypt. Their protests had Egypt in an uproar, including holding two policemen hostage. Galloway was put on a plane and is persona non grata in Egypt along with a couple of others. An Egyptian Border Policeman was shot and killed by a Pal sniper during the Hamas run protests. Upon leaving Gaza, a protestor said they had a "different view" of Hamas run Gaza then they had previously. Maybe Hamas is the real problem?
So, all in all I think Code Pink and Viva Palestina failed miserably in their efforts, are no longer welcome in Egypt, which I am always happy to report.

One can always hope.
There's a big red monkey butt joke in here just waiting to be made…..
Then supporting a foreign nation that has attacked us by weakening us financially and strategically like Israel has is treason as well. IDF are no less "terrorist" than Hamas.
So, in your mind are the Jews treasonous as well or have you been too brainwashed by Zionist propaganda to follow your OWN logic?
protection from all the men that want to get with them, i just puked in my mouth
I went on (infiltrated) the Code Pink website and saw photos of some of the members of Code Pink. After throwing up a little, I thought maybe the Muslims have a good idea when the women have to be covered up from head to toe, when they look like the women from Code Pink. Seriously, these women are IDIOTS. Do they not see how the women are treated? Have they not heard of HONOR KILLINGS?
Forgive me Father for saying this but I hope that they stay there as human shields for the next Israeli air attack.
They are moonbat traitors of the Jane Fonda kind. I hope they like the smell of sulpher and napalm….
DIDNT WE GIVE HAMAS 900 MILLION OF OUR TAX DOLLARS COMPLIMENTS OF B HUSSEIN OBAMA ??
Treasonous Rat Bastards….
But don't worry Jews will keep voting for Democrats anyway, they always do.
Kind of ironic that code pink while proclaiming to be an anti-war group spends alot of thier time hanging out with some of the most war minded groups on this earth.
Because the terrorist did learn one thing..useful idiots are…..useful…
2 proper choices here….either A.null and void their US Passports and let these freaks be stuck there. Or B. Arrest them when they come back to America,charge them with treason,and send them to Gitmo
What do you mean "will be"? They already are.
Bet if you follow the money trail, there is funding being provided via ACORN or SEIU or one of the fringe groups that somehow came out of OUR pockets originally. Put nothing past these sorry b^stards.

Monkey buttlicks. Check the trees on Pennsylvania Ave. next time your in DC., full of Monkey buttlicks.
CODE PINK—OBAMA= terrorist loving MUSLIMS. Say no more.
i wonder how the history books will read about this presidency?
Hey, if you can't trust a Hamas terrorist, Who can you trust!
I think he missed the Bertha Lewis/ a different Bertha Lewis on the White House logs, otherwise he'd get it.
He would never give the correct answer: That he is a terrorists sympathizer also!
Yep! Staying under Obama's radar!!
IT'S TOO BAD THAT THIS TIME HAMAS FAILED! jodie evans IS A TRUE POS. WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE OVER THIS TRAITOR? SHE SHOULD BE TRIED IN NYC ALONG KSM. GET RID OF TWO SCUM-BAGS AT A TIME!
More malware warnings using chrome, is this You or Google?
Nah, he missed the nod to Gutfield with the "you're a racist" too. Mark's just not paying attention. Too bad, 'cause this "It's a DIFFERENT Bertha Lewis!" business is gonna be used for a long time.
You are soooo right. All is excused if you are wearing the "D" after your name. Jimmy Carter is just as guilty. He is a palestinian sympathizer, and a hater of Israel. Of course, the palestinians contribute mightly to Jimma. Don't expect Holder to prosecute anything related to this cause or the cause of free and honest elections here in the USA.
Pink Trash! Gutter scum!
Their hands are tied behind their backs.
Hillary's state dept. wouldn't even revoke the passport of the Christmas Day terrorist! I don't think she will revoke these. They are this administration's buddies. Nappy will see nothing too.

We didn't. Our so called CIC did, with our tax dollars. He supports this terrorists group too. They must be laughing their backsides off at us.
can't we just lose their passports….no re-entry to the US just let them stay there and HELP those nice Hamas folks. Thanks we've been helped enough so just let them do their good life saving work that they are so committed to and live outside the US for the rest of their lives, after all the US is just a horrible and unfair place for left…maybe they can find a wonderful new life in Afganastan or Iran.
After all these girls need to be covered up by a burka!

Ah, TONY! I was wondering where you were.
"Then supporting a foreign nation that has attacked us by weakening us financially and strategically like Israel has is treason as well."
If that is so, one cannot support ANY nation, no matter how sympathetic or honorable, because virtually every nation has done so. Welcome to espionage.
"IDF are no less "terrorist" than Hamas."
The bodies of murdered Israeli and Palestinian civilians alike say otherwise.
The British public in the past showed raving lunatics on the march what they thought at the "Battle" of Cable Street.
Perhaps it is time for a repeat?
We shall see.
I think he meant "sorry" as in "oh god, what the h*ll have we done?"
