Interpal Supports And Funds Terrorism

(this is a repost of a saved copy of what I thought was a lost post, it will be here for a short time, then I will move it to the 29th December, the original post date)
The Jewish Board Of Deputies has short-sightedly apologised and come to an out of court settlement in a libel action case that was brought about by the Islamic-terrorism fundraising front, 'Interpal', for calling Interpal what it is, a terrorist organisation :
Britain's top Jewish body has apologised for branding a Muslim charity a "terrorist organisation".

In an out-of-court settlement, the Board of Deputies of British Jews said it should not have described Interpal in these terms.

The board has now published a retraction and apology on its website.

In the statement, the Board said it had reached a settlement with Interpal in relation to a September 2003 article on its website which referred to "terrorist organisations such as Hamas and Interpal".

"We would like to make it clear that we should not have described Interpal in this way and we regret the upset and distress our item caused," said the statement.

Interpal is one of the largest Muslim-led charities in Europe and says its funds humanitarian, educational and medical projects in the Palestinian territories.

The row with the Board of Deputies began after the US Treasury Department accused Interpal of being part of the European "funding network" for Hamas, the largest militant Islamist organisation in the Palestinian territories involved in suicide bombings.

Below is an extract from Dhimmi Watch (where I found the article) and a summary of Interpal's terrorism connections :
Hmmm..alright, so the Treasury Department at least thinks Interpal is a money front for Hamas (see their press release). And just last month, the UK Independent reported that Israeli prosecutors had provided documents showing that millions of Euros had been funnelled through Interpal to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, including the family of the bomber who killed 15 Israelis inside a Sbarro pizza shop in 2001.

There's more. In 2000, American and German investigators arrested Sheikh Mohammad Ali Hassan al Moayad, a Hamas fundraiser who spent his spare time sending cash and arms to Al-Qaeda. During the investigation, Sheikh Moayad showed receipts for tens of thousands of dollars made out to Interpal to a FBI informer, so as to prove that he could "get money to the jihad." Additionally, Saudi organizations such as the International Islamic Relief Organziation and the World Assembly of Muslim Youth also funnelled millions of dollars through Interpal, destined for unknown Palestinian coffers. Whats more, Interpal founder Ibrahim Hewitt, once admitted that Interpal money could have "possibly" made its way to Hamas, but not to its "military wing."

It seems, considering all the available evidence indicating Interpal's perfidy, that the BDBJ's apology is more of an attempt to avoid Interpal's charges of libel than a realistic assessment of the group's obvious terroristic intentions. Chalk up another victory for lawsuit-happy terrorist organizations.

I'm not going to comment too much on this, but let me clear one thing up. On the Jewish Board of Deputies website they claim that they are "The Voice Of British Jewry ". Well, I can say, as an Englishman of Jewish faith, that the 'Jewish Board of Deputies' does sure as hell not speak for me, or any other British Jews that I know and their wimping out in this court case sure as hell doesn't stop Interpal being used as front for the collection of funds for Islamic terror organisations.
