amin abu rashid , nicknamed `` amin abu-ibrahim '' -lrb- born -rrb- , 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 -lrb- sdgt -rrb- entity .
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 .
