Äntligen förbjuds INTERPAL (och Al-Aqsa ?)

Nu klämtar klockan kanske för terrorstiftelsen

Al-Aqsa Spannmål på Nobelvägen 79 i Malmö ??

Defense Minister Ehud Barak recently signed an order

declaring 36 funds around the world, members of the

"Union of Good" organization, to be banned associations

in Israel since they are part of Hamas's fundraising

network, and both support and assist it.

**
This order, the broadest and most comprehensive

ever issued in Israel, joins a series of previous

declarations against overseas charity organizations that

belong to the "Union of Good" and Hamas, including Interpal

in the UK, branches of the Al Aqsa Foundation in Europe,

the Holy Land Foundation in the US, the World Assembly

of Muslim Youth (WAMY) in Saudi Arabia, and additional

foundations in Turkey, Qatar, South Africa, Austria, Jordan,

France, the Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, Sweden

and other countries.

**

This is a significant step against the global network

which assists Hamas in raising funds. The order outlaws

a great number of bodies that are active abroad and

which are responsible for raising very large sums for

Hamas activities in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip.
The "Union of Good" is, in effect, a roof organization

for foundations operated by Hamas around the world,

especially in Europe and the Persian Gulf countries. It was

outlawed by the Defense Minister in 2002 for its

massive support of Hamas.

**
The Union is composed of dozens of extremist

Islamic foundations around the world. WAMY is

especially active in the Persian Gulf countries and in

Africa. The activity of Hamas foundations in Europe

are led by Interpal in the UK, branches of the Al-Aqsa

Foundation and the Committee for Welfare and Aid

for the Palestinians (CBSP) in France.

**
Dozens of foundations that are operated abroad by Hamas,

most of which are members of the Union of Good,

along with dozens of Hamas charitable associations active

in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip, form a well organized

and coordinated support network, that includes Hamas's

fundraising arm abroad and the vital civilian and

infrastructure networks in Judea, Samaria and the

Gaza Strip. In this framework, tens of millions of dollars

per annum are transferred from the overseas foundations

to Hamas associations in the field.

**

Recently, it has become clear that Union-affiliated

foundations are trying to raise funds not only for

Hamas charitable associations in Judea, Samaria and

the Gaza Strip, but for the activities of the Hamas

government as well. The Chairman of the Union of

Good is the infamous Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi.

**
Several steps have been taken so far, in Israel and

abroad, against foundations, associations and activists

connected to Hamas's global fundraising network,

including the banning of the Al-Aqsa Foundation

in Germany and the Netherlands, the conviction

of senior Islamic Movement officials over their

links with the Union for Good and Hamas foundations, and

the conviction of a Hamas-affiliated charity in A-Ram.

**
There is no doubt that, in light of its scope, this

significant declaration will require the Israeli and

world banking and financial systems to prepare

accordingly and act with caution in order to avoid

criminal actions or civil lawsuits by victims of terrorism,

such as that against the Arab Bank, in the US.
