Indeed, the far left group Rebellion has admitted to transfer 14,000 Euros (around $17,000) to the Colombian FARC and the Palestinian PFLP, both on the European Union list of terror organizations. Rebellion considers these two groups as being "secular, democratic and humanist". Also, its spokesman is also charged for having called on national TV other far left groups to collect money for other terror groups placed on the EU's black list.Rebellion placed on its website this fundraising operation and got 35 other leftists groups in Denmark and around the world to relay on their own websites this same call for collecting money on behalf of terror groups. Among them was the leftist Danish political party Enhedslisten that scored 3.4% during the February 2005 elections. Enhedslisten only recently agreed to remove the fundraising effort from their website.
Rebellion is being sued on these two charges and the trial should start next month. It is high time that our democracies deal with the alliance between some in the far left and terrorist groups. Clamping down on them strongly would definetely send the message. We can trust Danish justice to do the right thing (Denmark has been one of our staunchest allies in the War on Terror).
