Yesterday on the website of Jerusalem Post one came out scoop which should have resonated throughout Europe while absolute silence reigns over this information, of vital importance. We will perhaps know the reason for this silence if the forthcoming Sharia allows us to do so, even if from this point of view I am not at all confident. According to the newspaper, the oldest in the English language existing in Israel and with an editorial line resting, or rather lying, on the left, the European Leadership Network (ELNET) published a series of investigative reports that exposed the large networks of Hamas-affiliated organizations and individuals operating in several European countries.
It’s about four reports divided into two sections: the first concerns the whole of Europe, while the second is a section that varies at a local level. The first even names the affiliates who would operate in an entirely European context, Majed Al-Zeer (Germany), Mohammad Hannoun (Italy), Adel Doghman (Austria), Amin Abou Rashed (Netherlands), ZaherBirawi (United Kingdom). and Mazen Kahel (France).
The first three, among others, Zeer, Hannoun and Doghman, were only reported last week by the US Treasury for their work in favor of Hamas, while Abou Rashed was detained for almost a year in the Netherlands and is currently on trial for alleged financing of millions of euros to Hamas. In the reports of this investigative work it is stated that these six characters they would act as agents of Hamas in each of the countries where they had settled.
Their involvement in the formation of six organizations is also highlighted: three older ones now disbanded after the Israeli report to the various European intelligence agencies, and three more recent ones which could imply an attempt to circumvent the sanctions. Among the most recent organizations highlighted in the all-European section of the reports are the Conference of Palestinians in Europe (EPC)which reportedly hosts annual events with Hamas-affiliated speakers and which has been recognized by Palestinian media loyal to Fatah as belonging to Hamas, as well as the European Palestinian Political Relations Council (EUPAC)a conference of theirs was canceled last week due to the new US designations.
Notable entities in the local sections of the reports include the Palestinian Return Center (PRC) and the Palestinian Forum in Britain (PFB) in the United Kingdom; the ABSPP in Italy; and the United Palestinian National Committee (VPNK) in Germany, all connected to or founded by some of the prominent players mentioned above. The report also highlights media outlets belonging to this network, including Al-Hiwar, EPAL and Infopal, which have in the past collaborated with Hamas-affiliated media outlets, such as Shehab, and which act as spokespersons for the pro-Hamas network’s activities in Europe.
Another problem highlighted in the report is the use of “civilian” fronts by the axis Muslim Brothersof which Hamas is a member, as a means of promoting Islamist ideologies that emphasize the preaching of Islam, while offering community services to spread radical Islam to the masses and bring them closer to extremist ideologies.
Emmanuel NavonCEO of ELNET, added: “In light of these findings, ELNET urges European governments to act quickly by thoroughly investigating and shutting down these Hamas-affiliated organizations to prevent them from further destabilizing both the Middle East and Europe. Banks and financial institutions must carefully monitor the activities of individuals named in the reports and review their financial transactions to prevent further support for terrorist activities. ELNET also calls on research institutes and think tanks to help expose these activities to the public and ensure that Hamas fundraising networks in Europe are dismantled.”
