Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Australia: Trade Union funding Palestinian jihad group

Jun 29, 2018 8:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Although the word “alleged” is important to use in this case, it is widely known that Muslim Brotherhood and jihadist groups associated with the Palestinian case routinely operate under charitable fronts:

A Palestinian aid group that employs and supports the leader of an Islamic terrorist group in Gaza is being funded by Australian taxpayers, it has been alleged… by the Sydney Daily Telegraph. The newspaper alleges the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has donated $21 million in the past decade to a Sydney-based charity set up by hard-left union groups, Union Aid Abroad …This charity then sent millions of dollars to the MA’AN Development Centre — a Palestinian organisation that employed a leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

The entire West has been infiltrated by Muslim Brotherhood groups working in tandem with Palestinian jihadist thugs who are selling victimhood propaganda to the world. If the West were to acknowledge that the global jihad is advancing, the next step would be to outlaw Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups and stop them from functioning in Western countries, and using taxpayer dollars in their quest to undermine free societies and obliterate Israel.

“Report: Australian Trade Union Funding Palestinian Terrorist Group,” by Simon Kent, Breitbart, June 28, 2018:

A Palestinian aid group that employs and supports the leader of an Islamic terrorist group in Gaza is being funded by Australian taxpayers, it has been alleged.

The claim is contained in a report published by the Sydney Daily Telegraph.

The newspaper alleges the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has donated $21 million in the past decade to a Sydney-based charity set up by hard-left union groups, Union Aid Abroad — APHEDA.

This charity then sent millions of dollars to the MA’AN Development Centre — a Palestinian organisation that employed a leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). PFLP has been on the official terror lists of the United States, European Union and Canada as a result of its hijacking of planes, assassinations and suicide bombings.

Australia’s Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has announced an audit of the union funding to begin imediately.

The accusation follows Australia’s call earlier this month for assurances from the Palestinian Authority that Aus­tralian aid has not funded payments to terrorist “martyrs” or their families.

The Palestinian Authority has in the past been accused of dispersing stipends or “martyr payments” of up to $US3500 ($4600) a month to the families of those killed while attacking Israel….

    Should have started that audit as soon as the Coalition were elected back in 2013.

    And should have done it in every Department to find out just where the ALP were hiding various methods of p*ssing away tax dollars and supporters the enemies of civilization.

    Given that the current Australian government hates progressive causes, unions and workers rights more than anything else; I wouldn’t be surprised if this is yet another attempt to shut down the union movement with accusations of funding Islamic terrorists. Given that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is being run by a notoriously corrupt shill for big business, I wouldn’t put it past them to manufacture a reason to attack Australian workers with this much like the Minister for Employment tried to do by manufacturing a scare campaign for the Australian Federal Police to raid into union offices a while back to widespread public outrage.
    Frankly, as much as I loathe Islamic supremacism and Christian supremacism; it is Corporate supremacism that is causing so much real damage to Australian society these last few years especially.

      golly, i didn’t realize that australian workers were in the employ of the MA’AN Development Centre. i would guess that $21 million could pay the salaries of about 210 or so workers. do they commute to ramallah?

      Yeah, the poor widdle unions, they’re victims, just like their temporary friends of islam. The same trade unions that sabotaged the Allied war efforts during WW2, right? In lock step with their murderous Commie scum comrades, right? 200 million+ deaths in less than the last 100 years by secular humanist delusion, borne of the philosophical fantasy of Darwinism. Remind us again how many ALP politicians and trade unionists are in jail, hmmm? Western civilisation, based on the Christian principles (and freedoms) you appear to detest is being flushed down the toilet by Socialists who use islam as a weapon against it. You couldn’t buy a clue.

      What a lot of tosh. No, the Sydney Daily Telegraph is not making things up.

      Note, too, that Cameron is saying that there is “Christian supremacism”, and that it is just the same as Islamic supremacism–and is now claiming that free trade is the same as Jihad and Shari’ah. Ridiculous.

      • GP says

        Jul 6, 2018 at 9:38 am

        Graven…..I suspect Cameron is left-leaning. I wonder if he is from Melbourne……the Marxist armpit of Oz.

    • GP says

      Jul 6, 2018 at 9:35 am

      Cameron….as an Australian myself, I think you may be minimising the greater danger to Australian society as a whole…..ie. socialism and the leftist politics of the Labor and Greens.
      While I am not a great fan of the present coalition government, I think it is fair to say we definitely dodged a bullet when they narrowly won the last election. Heaven help us if Labor gets in as the economy will tank and we will all experience more nanny state government that Shorten’s crowd are so keen on.
      Australia’s best hope is for a stronger conservative/libertarian movement and greater transparency. But for some reason you despise Christians so I guess you won’t agree with me on that.

    The Government of Australia should be SUED FOR FUNDING TERRORISM.

    This is just INSANE … did no one in the Australian government not get it?

      America should regard countries that officially aid Islam in any way as hostile nations. I would say that America has few real allies in the world – perhaps only a handful, and not the ones we traditionally think are friends. Britain is a shill for Islam, Australia, as well, apparently, Germany, Scandinavia (Denmark excepted). I guess I would trust Israel – at least we have a common enemy for now.

    Why not? American taxpayer’s monies are being surrendered to fascist evil Zionists to carryingout mass killings of Palestinians. Those with good conscience should assist Palestinians to survive.wicked scums of evils!!

      Nurse, more medication needed stat! Patient Itace is delusional with advanced stages of dementia. His sharia hallucinations are becoming more frequent and he may become a risk to society. A locked ward is recommended immediately.
