I have for years drawn attention here to the billions of dollars that the leaders of Hamas have stolen from the sums provided by foreign donors, money that was meant to support the people of Gaza. Now I am delighted that The Daily Mail (UK), The National Post (Canada), the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and Fox News have all given the story of the three Hamas billionaires extensive coverage. The coverage by Fox News can be found here: “Hamas billionaires: Lifestyles of the rich and terrorists,” by Eric Shawn, Fox News,
They are living the Hamas high life.
While the people of Gaza live in poverty and have suffered under the horrors of Hamas, the terror group’s leaders apparently are living high on the hog.
Israeli officials say Hamas leaders are billionaires, amassing an overwhelming jackpot of terror money for themselves….
Hamas bosses Khaled Mashaal and Ismail Haniyeh are worth an estimated $4 billion each, and political bureau leader Mousa Abu Marzouk is worth $3 billion….
Photos show Hamas leader Mashaal playing table tennis, as well as squeezing in a workout on a treadmill in what appears to be a hotel gym.
Reports have long claimed that one of the Hamas leaders’ bases of operations has been the Four Seasons Hotel in Doha, Qatar. In 2015, Mashaal held a press conference in the hotel’s ballroom, where he attacked Israel. And it was said he spent a lot of his time at the property. Four Seasons touts its property as being “reimagined with modern grandeur and sparkling with sunlight and sea views. From the elegant lobby to energetic restaurants and lounges, our beachfront urban retreat has been transformed into a vibrant hotspot.”
In a statement to Fox News, the company says the “Four Seasons confirms that Ismail Haniyeh is not living at or staying at Four Seasons Hotel Doha. Information circulating on social media suggesting otherwise is not true.” Requests for comment from Fox News about other Hamas leaders have not yet been answered.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced legislation, “The Hamas Sanctions Act,” that would block Hamas’ ability to find safe havens abroad, including in Qatar or Turkey. The legislation would impose sanctions on “hotels, landlords, banks, and similar businesses in allied countries that provide services to Hamas leaders,” and would potentially classify countries, like Qatar and Turkey, “as state sponsors of terrorism for hosting Hamas.”…
“The United States has targeted nearly 1,000 individuals and entities connected to terrorism and terrorist financing by the Iranian regime and its proxies, including Hamas, Hezbollah and other Iran-aligned terrorist groups in the region.”…
The three Hamas billionaires have stolen, from the people of Gaza, eleven billion dollars. They luxuriate in their residences, and luxury suites, in Doha, as well as in their villas in Beirut and Istanbul, where they have been photographed lolling on beds, working out in private gyms, flying about in their private planes, eating at the most expensive restaurants, completely indifferent to the conditions in which the people of Gaza live. Think of how many apartments, electricity plants, water purification plants could have been built in Gaza with those eleven billion dollars. The only people trying to help the Gazans directly — thus avoiding sending aid through the thieving Hamas rulers — are the Israelis, who until October 7 had been providing jobs to 20,000 people from Gaza, who earned between three and five times as much working in Israel than they could have earned at home, even assuming there were jobs to be had in the Strip.
The monstrous theft by Hamas leaders of aid meant for all Gazans is likely to arouse more indignation in the outside world than their record of supporting terrorism. For their vast wealth, stolen from the people of Gaza, and their living the high life while leaving the Gazans to wallow in their misery — a misery made much worse by the atrocities those leaders set loose on October 7 — is an outrage easy to grasp.
There should be posters, with the faces of these Hamas leaders, and the amounts they have stolen from fellow Arabs in Gaza, held up by pro-Israeli counter-protesters everywhere. Those will get attention in a certain segment of the population in the West that, I regret to say, posters of kidnapped Israelis will not.

Muslims, especially the Palestinians, have to be among the dumbest people in the world, although I must admit, American college students are right up there with them

American college students are giving them tough competition

Definitely. I would say this is hilarious except for it being so sad:

Nice comparison, ha ha

I agree. Try asking any Gen Z what 3x3x3 is ? Which countries border us? Or any basic question. They simply cannot answer.

They have been inbred for 1400 years, so there is a lot of truth in that.
Remember that intelligence is inversely proportional to the tendency towards violence.
Without violence there can be no islam.

Congratulations to Sen Cruz for starting to look at Turkey and Qatar. In fact, the State Department should be confronted by the Congressional Foreign Affairs committees (both House & Senate) and made to account for their appeasement of Qatar and Turkey
➤ For Qatar, demand to know from them what they knew that the governments of Saudi Arabia, Emirates, Egypt and Bahrein did not know when they sanctioned Qatar 4 years ago. At the time, the US was the lone country trying to mediate b/w them, despite Qatar’s support for the Muslim Brotherhood. Also investigate every congressman who is in the pay of Qatar – both (D) and (R)
➤ For Turkey, confront the State Department about why Turkey’s complete transformation from a Kemalist secular state to a Jihadist state under Erdogan has been completely glossed over. Ask them why there have been no sanctions against Turkey given its bullying of Greece and Armenia, it’s interference in Syria and Iraq against the Kurds, and above all, its support to Hamas. Ask them whether they’re even aware of Turkey’s designs in Central Asia as a part of its Pan-Turkic ambitions, and if yes, what’s being done about them
The Foreign Policy Establishment thinks that since most Americans can’t find most places in the world on a map, that they get a free reign on foreign policy. That needs to end, and they need to be defanged

The Bender Affidavit is still relevant. All about Qatar’s influence operation.

I have read that Ilhan Omar has worked for/supported Qatar. It was said that she has not registered as a foreign agent for them, but has indeed acted as one. I doubt that it is legal for her to do so, but our corrupt government has done nothing to question her – let alone punish her – for her transgressions. Of course, being a Somali muslim, Obama hsa said he would side with muslims in any dispute. I’m willing to bet that includes siding with Hamas, as well – especially since he hates Netanyahu and Israel so fervently.
Mick says
And expose the role of Turkey’s 22 dams on the Tigris and Euphrates, in flooding Kurdish land within Turkey, and ‘starving’ Syria and Iraq of ca 60% of the historic flow.
> 3m displaced people have found refuge in Turkey, which strengthens Erdogan’s hold over the EU, who pay for their board and lodging..
Hudders says
The ancient desert devil pays his Hamas employees well it seems.
See how these satanic salesmen dealing in death, enjoy an outrageous criminal luxury,
Whilst their Pali peasants eat rats & bullets?
One day they will get their true deserved wages.
Sooner rather than later I hope.

More needs to be said about the agenda. They are coming for us next, and the imbecile liberal politicians and even stupider gen-z’s are complicit:

Troybeam says
How many of these generals are in our nation, USA living and working pretending to be a Citizen, a peaceful one at that and speak they do not agree with what is happening and them planning in secret a huge event that will kill and maim Americans. How many soldiers have entered into our country via Biden’s border issue and added to that there is China, another threat.

The bottom line: Terror Pays. Finally, the truth is revealed and placed front and center for all to see. Don’t forget about, ‘Pay for Slay,’ Aboud Abbas.

Now you know where a lot of foreign aid has gone. Into the pockets of these criminals and probably a few of our politicians have off -shore numbered bank account sharing in the give away of our tax dollars.
John Smith says
They like starting these wars because when the money starts to pour in to re-build Gazza, they can cream off even more money.
