Starving “Palestinians” update: Hamas received $2 billion from Iran; Islamic Jihad gets $150 million annually

The entire “Palestinian” jihad is a massive edifice of lies, beginning with the “Palestinian” nationality itself and continuing to the endless tales of Israeli atrocities and “Palestinians” being deprived of basic life necessities. And the mainstream media eagerly repeats it all to a credulous world that then rains down condemnations upon Israel, ignoring the genocidal jihadist rhetoric that is a daily staple of the “Palestinian” media’s offerings.

“Expert: Hamas Received $2 Billion From Iran; Islamic Jihad Gets $150 Million Annually,” by Joshua Levitt for Algemeiner, February 11:

Terror group Hamas has received more than $2 billion from Iran, while rival Islamic Jihad receives between $100-$150 million annually, according to Ali Nourizadeh, Director of the Center for Iranian Studies, in London, Persian-language Raya News reported.

Nourizadeh said Hamas receives the aid through various channels, either in cash, when Hamas leaders visit Tehran, or through Lebanon’s Hezbollah, and the $2 billion figure is the total received since Hamas’s inception. Islamic Jihad receives its money via Hezbollah or through banks in Beirut or Malta.

However, Nourizadeh said, Hamas’s loyalties lie elsewhere.

“Iran has paid a lot to strengthen its relationship with Hamas to be used as a card but it did not succeed because [Hamas] has good relations with Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Arab states and Iran is no longer the main source of funding Hamas, so Iran considers its investment in Hamas to be unsuccessful,” Nourizadeh said.

Nourizadeh said Islamic Jihad fighters are trained in Iran and the group’s weapons all come from Iran, with Hezbollah playing an important role in the supply line. On the other hand, no more than 500 Hamas fighters were trained by Iran.

Additionally, according to Nourizadeh, a new rapprochement effort is now underway between the PLO and Iran. Fatah official Jibril Rajoub recently visited the Islamic Republic following a New York meeting between PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

He said the Palestinian Authority, and, earlier, the PLO, has not received any aid from the Islamic Republic since the regime’s rise to power in the 1979 revolution.

The Raya News report was flagged by blogger Elder of Ziyon.

    It’s sad that the Obama administration can’t find a way to funnel more U.S. blood and treasure to these poor “Palestinians.” After all: with our latest resoundingly successful “humanitarian mission” in Afghanistan winding down, US military resources will be free to become mired in another fiasco. I believe that “Palestine” will soon become the next “Democratic Syria” complete with Hamas “freedom fighters”. The sky is the limit here!

    No non-Muslim country should give even one cent in ‘aid’ (= jizya) to the so-called ‘Poor Palestinians’ [TM]. Let the Ummah – the stinking-rich oil states are rolling in cash – take care of its own.

    If, as the so-called Palestinians claim, they have a history predating the Jews etc, then what was their religion(s) before Islam happened along? Also, how were they converted to Islam? Force or persuasion?

    It’s a big missing chapter in their faked history. Any so-called Palestinians out there care to tell me?

    Clowns!
