Where did the Islamic Republic of Iran get all this money? From Barack Obama.
“Iran said increasing Hamas funding to $30m per month, wants intel on Israel,” Times of Israel, August 5, 2019:
Iran has agreed to massively increase its monthly payments to Palestinian terror group Hamas in exchange for intelligence on Israeli missile capabilities, an Israeli television network reported Monday.
The Islamic Republic is a longtime financial supporter of Hamas, the terror organization that rules the Gaza Strip and is committed to Israel’s destruction.
In a recent meeting in Tehran between nine senior Hamas officials and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Tehran expressed willingness to raise its monthly financial backing to the terror group to an unprecedented $30 million per month, Channel 12 reported, citing an unnamed Arab source.
That will represent a massive increase in Iranian support for the Gaza rulers. A report by the Ynet news site from August 2018, citing Palestinian sources, said Iran’s payments to Hamas at the time amounted to $70 million per year (less than $6 million per month).
The meeting, which took place two weeks ago, was attended by Saleh al-Arouri, the deputy chief of the Hamas politburo.
In exchange for the funding, Tehran asked Hamas to provide intelligence about the location of Israel’s missile stockpiles, the report said. It was not immediately clear if the raise was strictly conditioned on the intelligence provided by the terror group….

So Obama has allowed the US to directly fund terrorism? This should be widely publicised in the media, but of course will not be. Well done Jihad Watch on publicising stories the establishment would rather we didn’t know about.

In other words, if you take issue with Iran funding Hamas to slaughter the Jews, christianblood will threaten you with death. Bad dhimmis!

“Catastrophic war with Iran will DESTROY Saudi Arabia, UAE”
Or so Iranoapologists say… In any case, you must be eager for it, correct?

RT interviews an Iranian Professor of English Literature and Orientalism for his take on the US/Russia/Iran/etc. situation.
CB, I used to have good feelings about Russia and the Russian people. But since I have been reading your posts here, even though you make some good points, that feeling of hope has faded. Ironic, that you are here trying to convince readers of the opposite.

“AS I SAID MANY TIMES BEFORE, I AM NOT RUSSIAN! ABSOLUTELY NOT!”
You just fervently defend Russia and even posted “Russian Nationalist songs for no reason whatsoever – got it. In any case, what was it that you said to me when I told you, for the nth time, I wasn’t American? That it was all the same to you, right?
“ ONLY SPEAK OF MY OPINION. I REPRESENT NO COUNTRY OR GROUP!”
“Opinion”? Nah, you present loads and loads of rubbish as if they were facts. In fact, I rightfully called you out in your professed area of expertise and found you wanting…

CB may technically not be Russian–he might be Ukrainian, say, or Georgian, who just likes to be oppressed by Russians–or perhaps he is an ethnic Russian who was born behind the Iron Curtain in a country conquered by Russia. He is certainly a Russophile, though–and not just culturally, but an apologist for the ugliest aspects of Soviet and Russian dominance.

Belarus, Europe’s last dictatorship, and an overall dumpster fire. Those crazy f***ers seem to think they’re still in the 50’s. Four years after declaring independence, there was a wave of Soviet nostalgia and Lukashenko was elected President, only to take the powers away from the Senate, Supreme Court, etc., and giving them to himself. Back in 1999, the leaders of the opposition, Hanchar and Krasouski, vanished. Simply… disappeared. On the same day Lukashenko, speaking on the state television, ordered his security forces to go after what he referred to as “opposition scum.” What a coincidence, right?
Seriously, it’s almost like time froze and the Soviet Union never ceased to exist. State farms, Soviet-era vehicles, Soviet symbols, Red Army parades, etc. Even the intel – ligence is called “Belarusian KGB”. You know, simple, conservativism “back to the good old days”. It’s speech after speech about how Belarus is a bullwark between Russia and Nato, the only thing standing between Russia and a gay invasion by the Europeans and Americans. Sounds fammiliar?

Barack Obama was a naïve Pollyanna with regard to the jihad doctrine. One wonders if he ever learned about jihad at all in his Islamic school. Probably not. He certainly did not educate himself as an adult. Jihad is an ‘essential’ teaching of Islam, rather than an aberration. All Muslims must conduct jihad against disbelievers in some form or they will be tormented in Islamic hell. Obama did not know that. Iran’s mullahs, know jihad, believe in it and practice it. Almost all Mohammedans practice jihad when they dissemble and cloak the mission, motive and method of jihad from the dirty kafirs, whom they hate ‘for the sake of Allah’.
Islam is a religion of hate, bigotry and warfare. Any tactic that defeats kafirs is considered fair game in Islam, including breaking international protocols such as the Geneva conventions. Iran’s mullahs are past masters of the game of taqiyya, using misdirection, lies, coverups and disinformation to deceive other countries.
However, the ‘game’ played by Iran’s mullahs is the end game of a nuclear burnt-out of the entire planet. China and Russia are aiding and abetting the mullahs’ game it will be most tragic for them living close to the site of the problem. Eventually, the mullahs will try to incite a Muslim rebellion in Russia’s republics as well.
Countries have a common interest in nipping the Iranian poisoned flower in the bud.

If America its allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia are spending billions to have their own jihadist proxies like Al-Qaeda (White Helmets), Al-Nusra, ISIS, etc, what prevents Iran to have their own jihadist proxies in the region?
Below, Trump administration released millions of taxpayer dollars to Al-Qaeda “White Helmets” in Syria, calling them “heroic”. More of this below:

Huh, are you kidding me? Iran has terrorist proxies all over the world. You even gloated that, if the US attacked Iran, the whole ME would explode in fire and blood. You gloated about Iran’s terrorist proxies in the area.

Again, christianblood pretends that it is Americans and Jews who are waging Jihad, instead of pious Muslims.
mortimer says
Much of the money given by Iran by the Pallies will go into the private offshore bank accounts of the terrorist leaders, rather than to pay for terrorism or help the Pallies. Such corruption … but Iran’s mullahs are doing the same thing on an exponential scale. They are perhaps the most corrupt people on the planet. No one holds them to account.

From your article:
Guilty by association – by that logic, your precious little Russia supports the murder of Israeli children because they support the country (Iran) that supports them. In any case, you stated, in no unclear terms, that islam mandates muslims to lie. And now you’re offering the words of a devout muslim at face value. Can you see the problem with that?…

Westman says
One wonders if a portion of this 5 times increase in terror funding will be siphoned off to cover the PA’s “pay-for-slay” shortfall and give Hamas more street cred. $360 million could also buy some missles that have guidance systems, unlike their current worthless rockets.
Son of Morning says
Quite interesting. Even shias and sunnis are working together for the purpose of the destruction of Israel. No wonder after all, they both share the same genocidal false prophet

Is there no way the Israelis can prevent this money reaching the terrorists? A massive hacking program?
