The Trump Campaign sharply criticized the Clinton Foundation for honoring the wife of an Islamic terrorist.
“Omar al-Hroub Was Convicted On Charges That He Was An Accomplice In A Deadly Bombing Attack In Hebron That Killed Israelis Walking Home From Friday Night Sabbath Prayers.” – Wall Street Journal
“Today’s report that the Clinton Foundation is feting the wife of a Palestinian man convicted of helping bomb innocent Israeli citizens is deeply disturbing, especially in the wake of this weekend’s attacks. The decision to honor the wife of a terrorist by Hillary Clinton’s foundation shows a complete lack of judgment and a callousness that should disqualify her from holding the presidency.” – Jason Miller, Senior Communications Advisor
Here are more details from the Wall Street Journal...
The Republican National Committee said featuring the teacher, Hanan al-Hroub, at the last Clinton Global Initiative event was insensitive particularly as New York law enforcement is investigating a New Jersey man for planting bombs in the region. Ms. al-Hroub’s husband, Omar, served 10 years in an Israeli prison for his role in the bombing.
“In the wake of this weekend’s attacks, granting a platform to the spouse of a terrorist bomb-maker just miles away from where explosives were detonated days ago is an insult to the victims and makes a mockery of the Clinton Foundation” said Raj Shah, deputy communications director of the Republican National Committee.
This came up the first time around when Al-Hroub was being celebrated by the media, but it didn't make it past some pro-Israel sites. But there is a lot more attention on Hillary Clinton now.
