The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations has called on the FBI and the House and Senate Intelligence Committees to investigate ties between Hamas terrorists in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and their supporters in America.

Charging that Hamas has established “an international network of terror with direction from the United States,” Lester Pollack, chairman of the Conference of Presidents, said the activities of Hamas must be stopped.

“Hamas imperils not only Israel but also moderate Arab states and other Muslim countries,” he said. “There will be no peace for Israel, for moderate Arabs or for America itself as long as Hamas is permitted to carry out its savage schemes with impunity on our shores.”
