Hamas’s Secret Western Propaganda Network Has Been Tolerated for Too Long

by Ramesh Thakur
1 November 2024 1:43 PM

Three recent reports have helped to give at least a partial answer to the puzzle of seemingly spontaneous yet simultaneous and near-identical pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli and antisemitic protests on the streets and campuses in Western Europe, Canada, the U.S. and Australia.

Mohammad Raad is the head of the Hezbollah group in Lebanon’s Parliament. In an interview with Russia Today TV on June 11th 2024, he said:

We’re currently investing in protests and demonstrations in Western countries, especially among college students. We already have Muslim students agitating, but it’s the Western students themselves who will destabilise their own countries.

This is a clear and chilling statement of the intent to destabilise Western society and build an anti-Israel coalition through a war on education and information.

On October 7th, the U.S. Treasury published a short account of how it was targeting a significant international Hamas fundraising network. The non-profit sector was being abused by terrorist financiers through “sham charities” to raise and funnel revenue to “Hamas and other destabilising Iranian proxies” to finance their campaign of violence. Treasury estimates these Europe-based “sham charities” have funnelled up to U.S. $10 million per month to Hamas this year. Sanctions were being imposed on several organisations and individuals in order to degrade their ability to raise money to finance their operations. This was the eighth tranche of U.S. designations to target Hamas’s financial support networks, some with allies like Australia and the U.K. Citizens and residents are legally obligated to comply with U.S. Government designations of terrorist actors. Non-U.S. financial institutions and individuals found to be engaged in dealing with sanctioned entities could also expose themselves to punitive measures by Treasury.

ELNET (the European Leadership Network) is a non-profit pro-Israel advocacy group which brings together leaders to foster close relations between Europe and Israel, based on shared democratic values and strategic interests, by facilitating in-depth policy discussions on key strategic issues, common challenges and opportunities. On October 15th, it released a set of four complementary reports that provide details on how Hamas has been embedded in five key European countries: Germany, Italy, U.K., the Netherlands and Belgium. The first part of every report is identical and covers the continent. The second part drills down into the specific situation in each country individually. The U.K., for example, is described as “a focal point for Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood-related activity since the mid-1990s” with 11 Hamas-affiliated organisations and individuals operating there.

The four reports highlight around 30 Hamas-affiliated actors across Europe which raise funds, lobby, recruit, disseminate propaganda and appear on media “sharing Hamas talking points and propaganda”. Their coordinated efforts aim to influence popular opinion and legitimise the groups to policymakers without disclosing ties to Hamas in order to avoid scrutiny from security and law enforcement agencies. Despite Hamas’s designation as a terrorist organisation by the EU in 2001 and several European governments on various dates, these organisations and individuals operate freely across the continent. Along with their leaders, six organisations are identified as operating on a pan-European level. Three of the six individual leaders of the groups, based in Austria, Germany and Italy, were designated in the preceding week’s U.S. Treasury report as persons of interest for sanctions. (Israel has identified 12 Hamas-linked individuals who operate across Europe.) Often, shortly after being designated as terrorist groups, some were dissolved but reconstituted under a different name but the same leadership. ELNET also identifies media outlets which serve as mouthpieces for the pro-Hamas network’s activities in Europe. In addition, the Muslim Brotherhood, which includes Hamas as a member, often uses “civil fronts” of innocuously named charities, humanitarian associations and other community-oriented NGOs to advance Islamist ideologies while offering community services.

Released to mark the anniversary of the October 7th 2023 atrocities, the U.S. Treasury and ELNET reports make for sobering reading. The operation is sophisticated, global and remarkably successful. The Hamas-affiliated actors operate under the cover of humanitarian and charitable NGOs to fund and support Hamas ideology and activities across Europe. Weak enforcement and supervision has allowed them to expand their networks, undermining Western values and cohesion, spreading Islamist ideology and increasing the threat of terrorism. The reports argue that, “Increased awareness about Hamas’s ‘civil activity’ across Europe is necessary to prevent Hamas from spreading its ideology and fomenting violence and radicalism among European communities.” What the ELNET reports don’t say but I alluded to in my last article, is that an open and honest conversation on the relationship between immigration (volume and sources), demographic change, societal breakdown and voter backlash is a prerequisite for eradicating rather than accommodating the rise of extremist rhetoric and politics. Instead, a recent “expert brief” from the influential Council on Foreign Relations, in a series on the ‘Future of Democracy’ project no less, argues condescendingly that, “Advances by Right-wing parties in recent elections in Austria and Germany could have a destabilising effect on domestic politics, as well as normalise anti-migrant and Eurosceptic viewpoints in European politics.”

Is there any reason to believe that the global reach of the Hamas-affiliated network doesn’t extend to Australia? And do we have the capacity and courage to absorb the warning signs from Europe in time rather than persist Micawber-like with a “She’ll be right mate” indifference to the danger? Sheik Ibrahim Dadoun is the man who, on the day after the mass atrocities in Israel last October, told a celebratory rally in Sydney that he was “elated… smiling” following the previous “day of courage”. At a conference in Sydney last month, Hizb ut-Tahrir activists and sheiks hailed the recently slain Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the October 2023 butchery, as a legendary hero, a martyr who “died a warrior’s death”. The conference heard that Islam will “dominate” and bring “justice to every corner of the world” amidst a “civilisational struggle”. In attendance at the conference, Dadoun insisted that he remained “elated” as “victory was coming” and he’d never before seen “the shift and the tide that has occurred over the last year against the Zionist regime”. What then are Australians to make of the revelation that his employer, the United Muslims of Australia, received about $1.65 million in Government funding in September? There are three serious problems with this. It gives the appearance of financially rewarding extremist rhetoric and behaviour; it gives extremist group leaders financial incentives to make sure that extremist ideology never dies down as this would dry up the bottomless Government funding; and it creates resentment in other groups that have adopted the Australian values of interfaith tolerance, inclusion and peaceful coexistence. Does the Government truly believe that we do not notice? Or is it the case that it simply doesn’t care?

“England’s Chief Medial Officer claimed the nation faces a rising death toll from heart disease and cancer cases due to pleas to protect the NHS.
Knock-on effects of dealing with Covid, which saw thousands of routine treatments and appointments delayed, will also fuel a surge in excess deaths.”

But definitely not due to a dangerous experimental MRNA gene therapy drug. I don’t particularly believe in hanging, drawing and quartering, but still. Witless and unbalanced? If only it was just that.

And by the way, could Sir Toby Young possibly consider in future putting the word “pandemic” used with reference to this shambles in quotation marks?

Chris – while your questions are valid and these two are indeed in large part responsible for the collateral damage of lockdowns, they key point surely is that this piece is a cover story to mask the real crime they are responsible for (ie the rollout of the injections). Their disingenuity in asserting that “Ministers may not be so lucky in getting their hands on a jab with the next disease” is beyond the pale, as far as I’m concerned.

Yes, I agree. I think the excess deaths are the result of lockdowns and adverse reactions to the injections. They have responsibility for both. Vallance has a financial conflict of interest via his ownership of shares in GSK, a company in the business of producing vaccines. He is also implicated in the cover up of the possible origins of the virus in a laboratory. Of course, politicians bear most responsibility for excess deaths and injury.

On a brighter note, perhaps their forecasts of excess deaths will prove as accurate as their forecasts of deaths from COVID. I hope so, almost everyone I know has been injected.

Also, the fact this shedding phenomenon seems to be gaining more traction does not bode well. Do we unsullied, non-GMO people really need to be worried about the secretions of the jabbed we have close contact with? Well it’s a bit late if you’re partner has had the shot. I’m really not going to worry too much about this but when I hear Peter McCullough warning of the data on this then it does get a wee bit concerning. Here he is in a 3min clip.

This is the substack containing the paper ( and references ) he’s talking about. Is he really saying mRNA is staying in the body indefinitely? Shouldn’t scientists somewhere be measuring this at regular intervals in people’s blood? We need to know. Especially if you’re married to a jabbee! 🙁

And as an aside…remember that German nurse who injected thousands with saline instead of the Covid jabs? She’s got off, although she’s charged with “intentional assault”…for injecting people with a completely harmless, isotonic solution, as opposed to a toxic, mystery concoction of gene therapy gunk, that apparently stays with you indefinitely. Only in Clown World!

How the hell did she manage to get hold of so many doses of saline without it being noticed somewhere?
Or did she mix up batches in her kitchen and bring it in a thermos?

This story is epic and it’s something we’ve discussed on here many times in the comments sections. Access to unvaccinated blood should you need a transfusion. This baby boy needs to have a heart operation where he will require blood to be transfused but the parents want to have the assurance that he’ll receive blood from unvaxxed donors. If the judge in New Zealand decides in their favour this will set a precedent worldwide, as I’m unaware of anywhere that you can request unsullied, non-mRNA polluted blood. I’ll be watching this story with interest.

The New Zealand doctors have done a great article covering this issue. I know how quickly a hospital can use their blood stocks. We’ve had to blue light blood from neighbouring hospitals when I worked in a surgical setting, so this is a very real issue for all elective and emergency surgeries. The stuff is used day and night, 365 days/year. Certainly I would want a say in which type of blood I want to receive.

In the UK they don’t even enquire if you are jabbed or not – they just don’t take your blood within 48hrs of the injection.

Plausible deniability if a recipient suffers an adverse reaction, perhaps? You would think they’d be more careful since the contaminated blood scandal a couple of decades ago.

Meanwhile, despite wailing that stocks are running low, the earliest appointment they can give me to donate is next March, and I’m a ‘first responder’, apparently. (No, NOT a paramedic..)

Maybe I should tell ’em I’m unjabbed and see if they treat me differently; I doubt it.

Nope they are not interested I asked the last time I went wether they separated out “vaccinated” from “unvaccinated” and the bloke looked at me as if I should be sent to the nearest loony bin.

If they ‘trusted the science’ they’d be properly investigating the cause of all of the health issues and excess mortality that we’ve seen over the last 18-24 months.

Instead, though, they’ve decided among themselves that it must have been due to ‘people not getting enough NHS’, and are responding accordingly.

As they’ve decided what has caused the problem they’ve also decided that there’s no need to investigate any other terrible decisions that might have been made by our authorities.

I had wondered where these candidates for the gibbet had been hiding.

Obviously, seemingly out of nowhere, have sprung an increase in cardiac and cancer deaths, nothing to do with the “vaccines” of course. All down to lockdowns.

Oh well, lessons will be learned.

I wonder if Whitless and his sidekick like sex and travel.

Well, I’m glad that’s cleared everything up.
I was beginning to think that the mRNA jab might have had something to do with this totally unforeseeable phenomenon.

Clearly I can totally dismiss concerns raised in papers such as these :-

As Pfizer tweets, ‘thankfully you can do a few internet searches and get your PhD…’ implying that Pretty Happy Dudes with bullshit degrees piled on high and deep, paid by criminal Pharma or govt’s, are ‘the science’ and the sheeple should just shut up and believe in the religion of Scientism.

They have learned nothing. What alternatives to the failed March 2020 approach do Whitty and Vallance suggest?
Billions were wasted on useless measures such as mass testing, face muzzles, and the lockdowns themselves. Most of the Covid deaths occurred in hospitals and care homes aggravated by the cackhanded and incompetent way in which the crisis was handled. GPs also have a lot to answer for regarding excess heart and cancer rates by shutting their doors and passing everything over to the hospitals.

“aggravated by the cackhanded and incompetent way in which the crisis was handled.”

This is cock-up theory. The handling of the “crisis” was not incompetent it was deliberate and pre-planned which is why the same procedures were rolled out across the world.

So these despicable people are now prepared to admit that the lockdowns will kill tens of thousands of people. When will they be handing back their gongs and their £millions?

Nothing to say about the poorly tested, experimental jabs which – so far in the UK – have led to an admitted 2500 deaths.

These evil people have no shame. They’ve destroyed the lives of a whole generation of young people.

will we ever live to the moment when these two ‘science’ salesmen are brought to testify about their role in the lab leak cover up, lockdowns pushing, jab coercion, collusion with the press and pharma, smearing campaign. At least our friends across the pond have managed to depose Fauci the science god, although with a very remote prospect of locking him behind bars forever. .

“Britain will face a “prolonged period” of deaths due to the pandemic — but not from the Covid virus itself,. “ Rather, it will have been caused by our gross over-reaction to it’s occurrence.

A little modification to the statement made, for those in any doubt.

So – once they’ve caught up with the backlog of all the cancelled treatments and ops, missed diagnoses and appointments etc and those that will unfortunately die as a direct result of lockdown…when they’ve done that and the excess death rate continues to climb, what then?
