The big surprise following the Channel 13 investigation into Islamic Movement associations was that politicians - who until recently sat around the cabinet table and heard security assessments, and only a few months ago spoke, hosted and embraced MK Mansour Abbas and today turned him into a "terrorist supporter" - were surprised. .
I am not a supporter of the Islamic Movement, but there seems to be a very unusual reaction here bordering on the campaign against it and against the people of RAAM, who so far have not changed their activities or their ideology, nor have the various organizations.
Islamic Movement organizations are usually non-profit organizations, all of whose reports are transparent under mandatory law, and which are strictly supervised by the relevant bodies, which the non-profit organizations have registered.
The GSS and other security agencies are making every effort, with great success, to prevent any aid that reaches hostile elements to the state, and any aid or contact that is thwarted and treated in legal ways.
However, Hamas also understood that the Arab public in Israel should not be part of the armed struggle, even though in the past it had succeeded in recruiting the country's citizens to serve its purpose.
However, this phenomenon is almost nil.
The Arab citizens of Israel also understand that any connection with Hamas that is intended to allow illegal activity is strictly forbidden.
After the outlawing of the Northern Islamic Movement, there was almost no humanitarian activity left in the Palestinian Authority - neither the High Monitoring Committee leads such a line nor the Arab parties, only the Islamic Movement which has been operating for decades before entering the political arena and Knesset. And to widows.
Should a minor whose father was involved in hostile activity starve to death?
To all the politicians who are trying to make the connection between the southern Islamic movement and Hamas, one can say - calm down, the connection has existed for decades and is monitored by the security forces, and as mentioned - serves Israel's interests no less than those of the Islamic movement.
When the movement's association raises funds from private or institutional sources, it must report both the sources of the funds and their purpose, and will not be exposed to sanctions that can lead to its boycott and closure of its activities.
This is certainly happening, or so it appears from the financial reports exposed to the eyes of all, otherwise the law enforcement agencies, from the banks to the Money Laundering Authority and the GSS, would have intervened immediately, especially in such a sensitive period.
The leaders of the Southern Islamic Movement have repeatedly stated that it is a sister movement to the Muslim Brotherhood, has maintained and maintains ties with civilian Islamic elements and understands the severity of contacts with the military branches of various Islamic movements.
What is more, this is a pragmatic movement, which sees its goal as serving the Arab public in Israel, and this is what made them leave the joint list and enter the coalition, without any conditions or any collective national demand.
