A new report from the Jewish Telegraph Agency details that the Argentine congress will be fundraising for the terror group Hamas.
“A fundraising campaign for Palestine by the Argentine National Congress is being seen by one Jewish group as an endorsement of Hamas,” reports JTA.
The Argentina parliament on Thursday will launch “Palestine Resists, Argentina Arises,” led by the president of the Friends of Palestine Parliamentary Group, Leonardo Grosso; the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Julian Dominguez, who also is a member of the ruling Victory Front party; and the Palestinian ambassador to Argentina, Walid Muaqqat.
The announced objective is to launch several fundraising activities on behalf of “the zone affected by the military Operation Protective Edge.”
During the event, the documentary “Checkpoint Rock: Songs From Palestine” will be screened, followed by a debate led by Pedro Brieger, the Jewish journalist who justified on National Public Television the kidnapping and killing of three Israeli teens in June by Hamas operatives.
In a letter to Dominguez, Shimon Samuels, director of international relations for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and Sergio Widder, the center’s director for Latin America, said that “we stand in solidarity with those who have been victims of Hamas’ violence, whether Israeli or Palestinian.”
