Hamas Patron Qatar Quietly Bankrolling Group Building Medal of Honor Memorial in DC – By Chuck Ross (Free Beacon) / March 15, 2024
The oil-rich Hamas ally has spent billions buying influence in the United States
The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation had a great 2021.
In June, the group held a successful forum featuring two Medal of Honor recipients and former acting secretary of defense Christopher Miller. That December, President Joe Biden signed a law green-lighting the group’s plan to construct a monument in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial honoring America’s greatest war heroes.
The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation enjoys broad bipartisan support: Every living former president serves as an honorary director on the group’s board, save Donald Trump. Along with its memorial in Washington, D.C., the group is at work on a museum in Arlington, Texas, to honor the 3,517 Medal of Honor recipients. It counts among its largest donors Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
But the foundation has another donor, one that stands out among former presidents and Texas football tycoons: Qatar, the oil-rich Gulf monarchy that has come under fire in recent months for supporting Hamas and other terrorist groups.
