Money isn’t only being moved from South Africa to Hamas; it has also been funneled from North America to Hamas, as was discovered in the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terrorism funding trial in the history of America. An expansive list of unindicted co-conspirators can be found HERE. The method by which money flows to Hamas, however, is more scandalous in South Africa, given that major South African banks, Standard Bank, Nedbank, and Absa, have been providing a platform to fund Hamas. The “registered organization named Al-Quds Foundation SA… openly admits on their new website that they are ‘a branch of Al-Quds foundation with headquarters in Lebanon.’”
Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organizations are alive and kicking all over the world. South Africa has been in the news for its recent “genocide” accusation against Israel at the International Court of Justice. This latest Hamas funding discovery now sheds much light on the presence of jihad influences in the Republic of South Africa, and part of a reason why it is anti-Israel.
The extent of the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence (remember, Hamas is a Brotherhood offshoot) is global. After the October 7 Hamas attacks, it is becoming increasingly difficult to escape scrutiny, as the true nature of Hamas has been exposed to the public. Consider An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America. Despite the Brotherhood’s stated goals in the U.S., the Obama administration escorted the Muslim Brotherhood into American politics. By 2020, the Muslim Brotherhood rejoiced over the “victory” of Joe Biden. Prior to the election, Biden made a pact with the Muslim Brotherhood-linked group Emgage, which has put him in a quandary since Israel’s war with Gaza. As the nefarious links of various groups to Hamas get exposed to the light, the extent of the fallout remains to be seen.
“Major South African banks provide platform to fund Hamas,” by Ohad Merlin, Jerusalem Post, January 24, 2024:
Research conducted by The Jerusalem Post staff and several sources uncovered what appears to be a network of several South African organizations and straw man companies deeply involved with funding Hamas activities through the Al-Quds Foundation, an international group sanctioned by the US and outlawed by Israel, using accounts registered in major local South African banks: Standard Bank, Nedbank, and Absa.
The global Al-Quds Foundation
The Al-Quds International Foundation (a.k.a. Al-Quds International Institute or QII) was established in Beirut in 2001 by Hamas members to raise funds for the terror organization through the guise of charity. According to the US Department of Treasury, the Hamas leadership runs all of the foundation’s affairs through Hamas members who serve on the board and other administrative committees, while all documents, plans, budgets, and projects are drafted by Hamas officials. Additionally, several senior Hamas officials, including Specially Designated Global Terrorists Mousa Abu Marzook and Osama Hamdan, served on Al-Quds’ Board of Trustees.The foundation is part of the extensive network of Muslim Brotherhood affiliated organizations and was chaired until recently by sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, the most prominent Islamic scholar of the Sunni world in the past decades, who was also aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood axis, and who was made notorious in the West for his infamous fatwa (an Islamic legal ruling) endorsing, and commending suicide bombings…….

South Africa, a Communist racist/vengeful (killing whites is a sport) country in ruins doing fake outrage and virtue-signalling at ICJ.
It’s quite ridiculous actually. If ICJ would have had a bit of common-sense, this should have been dismissed from Day 1: “guys, take a hike ok? go fix your problems before trying to act that you care about other things”.
Tony Rice says
South Africa is on its way to suicide and now shown to be justified due to its support and funding of Hamas.The murder of white farmers proves the point and it should South Africa be in the dock of the I C H R.. Maybe that is why they highlight another country, to shine the light away from themselves.

One can read about hideously cruel ways in which some black racists murder, rape and torture white South African farmers; it’s reminiscent of the heinous atrocities committed by Hamas against Israeli civilians on October 7th.

Moreover, the idea that poorly-educated, racist Communists (whether in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Cambodia or anywhere else), can just seize and usurp productive farms from their rightful owners, is idiotic.
You need specialized education and training to run those farms correctly. I don’t know shit about engineering and mechanics; so, if I (along with a bunch of other klutzes) steal a factory from an industrialist, and also expel or kill all the trained employees from there, how will I get it to function properly??
At least, I have enough sense to understand that it won’t freaking work! Duh!

A few yearscago, there was also a story about ever-rising crime levels on South Africa. Apparently, armed thugs were entering many restaurants and robbing customers while they dined.
So, it was getting to be stunningly unsafe to even go out to eat somewhere, and not much due to the risk of food poisoning.
I’ve heard that many restaurants hired armed security guards and cops to protect the diners, but I don’t know if the overall situation there had improved since then.
