Do you find this worrying?

[Gromit]

// Hisham Salim- a senior leader of Harakat al-Sabireen- denied in an interview with al-Quds al-Arabi "direct" relations with Iran or Hezbollah or receiving military support from either actor, though admitted to some financial links with Iranian 'charities' and expressed hope for direct relations with Iran, praising it as "the only country in the world that supports the Palestinian resistance." He also denied rumours that Harakat al-Sabireen is a break-off from Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which has clear ties to Iran and Hezbollah. In another interview, Hisham Salim praised Syria as an "Arab resistance state that has offered the Palestinians much and offered much to the Palestinian resistance." //

The palestinians are mostly Sunnis. Both Hamas and Fatah are Sunnis. This organisation appears to be Shias, so their influence will be minimal.

The site publishes the opinions of right-wingers.
Nowt wrong with that, but it is important to remember the distinction between opinions and certified facts.

It's not new. I believe it was established in 2008.

Gromit, //This organisation appears to be Shias//

I think not. Here's the home page.

Lol, Naomi. Don't think gromit meant the news organisation that reported on 'this' group.

[Togo]

//Salem has been accused by many Palestinians of helping Iran spread Shia Islam inside the Gaza Strip, where all Muslims belong to the rival Sunni denomination.//
//◾The Iranians are also believed to have supplied their new terrorist group in the Gaza Strip with Grad and Fajr missiles that are capable of reaching Tel Aviv//
And of course Iran seems hell bent on the development of nuclear weapons.

[naomi24]

Svejk, oops. Silly me. :o)

Togo:> " And of course Iran seems hell bent on the development of nuclear weapons. "

If you could produce any evidence of this many would consider that worrying.

The Hudson Institute, founded in 1961 by Herman Kahn, spawned numerous diverse Policy centres, and Hudson Institute member Nina Rosenwald invited controversial Dutch politician Geert Wilders to the USA. According to The Nation, which has characterized her as "the sugar mama of anti-Muslim hate," in 2012 she was still a board member of the Hudson Institute, after she had founded the more avowedly anti-Islamist Gatestone Institute.

A little investigation will reveal the Zionist bent of many Gatestone Institute office bearers

What else would you expect from Iran?

[Togo]

//A.Q. Khan, who delivered the ‘Islamic bomb’ to Pakistan, ran a vast global network of front companies, manufacturers and middlemen to facilitate his entrepreneurial activities, now regarded as the most serious case of proliferation in history//
Of course Iran would never consider doing the same. Silly me. None so blind as they who will not see.

I came over all Jason Bourne just then......sounds too much like Treadstone...
Looking at the info about Gatestone it seems to be at best a bit naive, at worst Zionist-lite.
Article has too many unsourced inflammatory statements to be taken at face value.

From the 2005 Spectator article you posted Togo:
".like the Israelis, is also worried about what might be going on in Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia, just three of about 18 countries — mostly Muslim and ore-rich African states — where nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan has left his fingerprints. .."

"The Saudis are reported to have been major funders of Pakistan’s own nuclear weapon and, in light of the developing threat from Iran, it is believed to be calling in those favours. "

The author of that Spectator article, Douglas Davis, self-professed Zionist and ex senior editor of the Jerusalem Post, is not impartial

I wonder if he was called to testify before the US agreed to the Iran deal?

Weeelll you can't expect to try and predict the future by learning from the past can you?
