Hamas, the Islamic terror organisation run out of the Palestinian-held territories, operates with the lifeblood of tens of millions of dollars, mostly raised from various Islamic funds and foundations around the globe.
In excess of twenty million dollars has been raised by a network of Hamas-affiliated organisations, many of whom are based in Europe.
These organisations are run by Hamas activists and their main function is to support Hamas in all its activities in the Palestinian Authority administered territories.
Hamas has successfully reinforced its popular support and hopes to become the radical Islamic alternative to the secular Palestinian Authority.
The Hamas infrastructure recruits new members, maintains a terrorist apparatus, and provides aid for terrorists and their families, including the families of suicide bombers. This aid is given under its 'humanitarian' programs.
In addition, Hamas conducts educational, preaching, indoctrination, and propaganda, activities that prepare future generations of Palestinian terrorists.
INTERPAL is one of Hamas main support organisations in Britain. It is one of the most important pipelines through which money is poured into the Hamas infrastructure in the Palestinian controlled territories.
INTERPAL was decreed an illegal, terror supporting, organisation in Israel because of its links to Hamas.
INTERPAL was outlawed in the United States and a US Executive Order designated it 'an entity that commits, threatens to commit, or supports terrorism'. INTERPAL is a Hamas-affiliated organisation.
Even after Hamas has been included in the EU list of terrorist organisations, INTERPAL continues to operate freely in Britain. It regularly transfers large amounts of money to Hamas in the Palestinian-controlled territories.
It is worth noting that Hamas recruited two Muslim British citizens to perpetrate a terror attack on a Tel Aviv pub, Mike's Place, on 30 April, 2003.
The British authorities have not taken effective measures to close INTERPAL ctivities.
In light of the newly translated information given in this report, it is hoped that influential individuals and organisations will bring pressure on the British authorities to close the activities of INTERPAL.
Most of the tragic attacks perpetrated in Netanya by Palestinian terrorists and suicide bombers originated from the Hamas stronghold in Tulkarm where they were financed in their activites by funding from overseas 'charities'.
This detailed report and evidence should encourage and assist leading British lawyers in bringing a successful legal action against INTERPAL on behalf of the Israeli terror victims killed or severely injured by the activities of Hamas, the terrorist organisation that has been supported and funded by INTERPAL.
