Hamas Leaders Rake in Billions as They Condemn Palestinians to War in Gaza

The leaders of the Palestinian terrorist group known as Hamas have become multi-billionaires over the past two decades, as they launch wars in Gaza from a safe distance in Qatar and Turkey, and condemn their own people to poverty and misery.

According to the Israeli embassy to the U.S., the leaders of Hamas — an acronym for Islamic Resistance Movement — “line their pockets” with money while Gazans depend on international assistance, and must suffer Hamas’s period wars against Israel.

While enjoying their wealth in comfortable exile, Hamas sends terrorists to launch rockets against Israel — or, as on October 7, to embark on missions to kill or kidnap as many Israelis as possible. Hamas officials know they will be safe from the fighting.

The Times of Israel noted last month:

Senior Hamas figures, including [leader Ismail] Haniyeh, would levy a 20 percent tax on all of the trade passing through the tunnels, according to a 2014 report in Ynet, an Israeli news site.

[Haniyeh’s] lavish [real estate] holdings contrast sharply with endemic poverty in the Gaza Strip, where some half of the population is unemployed, and per capita GDP was around $5,600 annually in 2021, making it one of the poorest places in the world.

On December 30, 2022, the Saudi news website Elaph … claimed that Maaz, and other sons of the Haniyeh family, drink alcohol abroad and spend time with women other than their wives in luxury nightclubs. Elaph also reported that Haniyeh’s children own generators, and sell electricity, a rare commodity in an area under constant power shortages, while they themselves get it for free.

Top U.S. Senators Warn Military Will Strike Iran Under Two Conditions

Top U.S. Senators said over the weekend that they are introducing a bipartisan resolution calling for military strikes against Iran if its terror proxies in the Middle East kill any U.S. soldiers or if Hezbollah opens up a second front against Israel.

Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) made the remarks during a CNN interview Sunday morning with Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”

The segment comes after Hamas murdered 1,400 Israelis in an unprecedented terrorist attack last month and Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group in Lebanon, has conducted small scale attacks against Israel as it weighs whether to launch a full-scale attack.

“It basically says, if the war expands, if Hezbollah opens up a second front in the north against Israel in a substantial way to overwhelm Iron Dome, then we should hit the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Graham said. “There is no Hamas without the Ayatollahs’ support. There is no Hezbollah without the Ayatollahs’ support. The great Satan in the region is not Israel or the United States. It’s Iran.” (Read more from “Top U.S. Senators Warn Military Will Strike Iran Under Two Conditions” HERE)

Hezbollah Leader Calls U.S. ‘Great Satan,’ Insists Israelis Committed Gruesome Massacres of Jews, Not Hamas

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah gave a speech to his followers on Friday in Lebanon in which he declared that there was no outside involvement from other governments in the Hamas massacre of Israelis on October 7, called the United States “The Great Satan,” and made the incredible claim that the Israeli themselves were the perpetrators of the horrific, gruesome actions taken by the forces of Hamas.

“From the very first hours, it was clear that the enemy was lost … you know it was the Sabbath, perfect timing by the commanders,” said Nasrallah, bragging that the attack took place on the Jewish Sabbath.

Speaking of the Israelis, he continued, “It took them hours to come out; they came out in hysterical state, angry and in insane fashion.”

He then claimed that the atrocities committed by Hamas had actually been perpetrated by Israelis, stating “That’s why when they had to recapture the settlements within Gaza envelope, they perpetrated massacres against the Israeli settlers. Not Hamas.” . . .

“We must establish this fact,” he declared. “The United States is totally responsible for the war raging in Gaza… It is the United States, proving once again, as described by (Former Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah) Khomeini, it is the greatest Satan, the great devil.” (Read more from “Hezbollah Leader Calls U.S. ‘Great Satan,’ Insists Israelis Committed Gruesome Massacres of Jews, Not Hamas” HERE)

Israel to ‘Decrease’ Military Campaign as U.S. Seeks ‘Very Significant Pause’ in War

Israel has “significantly refined” its military campaign against Hamas following U.S. pressure to curb Palestinian civilian casualties in Gaza, according to a senior U.S. official.

“The overall scale of their campaign [is expected to undergo] a decrease in what we’ve seen and more of a tactical focus on the ground campaign as they’re working to clear out some specific areas where there are tunnel complexes and things,” a senior administration official told reporters Friday evening. “So, that’s what we anticipate seeing over the next week.”

That forecast points to a new phase in the military operation and an expansion of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, after weeks of bombardment. The shift could also portend another step toward the mass release of the hostages seized by Hamas in the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, with President Joe Biden’s administration seeking “a very significant pause in the conflict” to enable their departure.

“So there’s an active process going on here with multiple lines of effort, including indirect engagement to try to find a framework to get the hostages out of Gaza,” the senior administration official said. “It would take a very significant pause in the conflict in the fighting to be able to do this. It is something that is under a very serious and active discussion, but there is no agreement as of yet to actually get this done.” (Read more from “Israel to ‘Decrease’ Military Campaign as U.S. Seeks ‘Very Significant Pause’ in War” HERE)

WATCH: Here’s What Happened When a Jewish Man Went Undercover at a Free Palestine Rally

The terrorists among us are being exposed, and we don’t have to do much work. These cretins are showing up tearing down posters of Israelis who Hamas kidnapped. The assaults and threats made against Jewish students on college campuses, along with the vile protests nationwide, show that this goes beyond anti-Israel sentiment. It’s nothing but hate, something we’ve known for years, though social media has been able to peel away the layers of this onion. . .

To make sure everyone understood, Eliott Tebele, a Jewish man and creator of the F**kJerry Instagram account, went undercover at a pro-Palestine rally. It was ugly. One woman said that the Jews could go to hell, while another said that Hamas’ October 7 attack wasn’t terrorism. There was even a “queer for Palestine” clown who tried to argue that it’s just as dangerous for LGBT folks here in America as it is in the Gaza Strip. That’s patently false: you die if they find out you’re gay over there.

Lebanon Border Closer to War; Israel Encircles Hamas in Gaza City

The Lebanese-Israeli border is closer to war than it has been thus far in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, as the Palestinian terrorist group claimed responsibility for rockets fired from southern Lebanon at the Israeli city of Kiryat Shemona on Thursday.

Hamas is based in Gaza but also has a presence in Palestinian communities in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and in other countries, including southern Lebanon, as well as in more distant countries like Qatar, where the Hamas leadership resides.

Hezbollah, a proxy of Iran, controls southern Lebanon (and much of the Lebanese government as well). It has threatened to enter the war and has fired on Israeli positions, killing several soldiers and forcing the evacuation of Israel’s northernmost cities. Israel has responded to each incident by striking the Hezbollah position responsible for the fire. It has also launched preemptive strikes on terrorists who have tried to fire rockets or to infiltrate into northern Israel. But thus far, a broader war has not yet erupted.

Israel has said that it will hold Hezbollah responsible for any rocket fire from southern Lebanon. Accordingly, it struck a number of Hezbollah positions on Thursday evening after several Hamas rockets caused significant damage.

WATCH: Here’s What Happened When a Grieving Palestinian Mother Shouted Who She Blames for Her Son’s Death

One Palestinian mother knows who to blame for her son’s death. The video captures the grieving Gaza resident mourning the loss of her child but doesn’t hurl her anger at Israel, the West, or the infidels. She directly blames the “Hamas dogs.” Reports are that her son was a tragic victim of collateral damage from an Israeli airstrike. During the recovery efforts, she appears to see the cameras and starts ripping into Hamas, which leads to her being muzzled by rescue workers.

Hamas has controlled the strip for 17 years and has never built a single bomb shelter for its people. They have constructed a wide array of terror tunnels from which their members can wait out Israeli attacks. All these tunnels will have to be cleared if Israel strives to eliminate Hamas as a viable political and military organization. They’re hiding in them, using the fuel they’ve been hoarding, which could be going to hospitals, to keep generators pumping the tunnels with breathable air running.

House Dems Ignore Biden Veto Threat, Help Pass Israel Aid With IRS Cuts

Twelve House Democrats joined with Republicans on Thursday to pass a White House-opposed plan offset $14.3 billion in aid for Israel by slashing the same amount of funds meant for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The GOP measure to provide emergency aid to Israel as it fights Hamas passed by a 226-196 vote, sending the legislation to the Democrat-led Senate where Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has already vowed not to bring it up for consideration.

Instead, Schumer announced earlier in the day, the Senate would “work on our own bipartisan emergency aid package that includes funding for aid to Israel, Ukraine, humanitarian aid including for Gaza, and competition with the Chinese Government.”

But the passage of the GOP House plan has already proven to be bipartisan with a dozen Democrats voting in favor of it: Reps. Angie Craig (D-MN), Don Davis (D-NC), Lois Frankel (D-FL), Jared Golden (D-ME), Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Greg Landsman (D-OH), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Darren Soto (D-FL), Haley Stevens (D-MI), Juan Vargas (D-CA), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), and Frederica Wilson (D-FL).

Hamas Official Issues Sinister Warning as He Vows To Repeat Horrific Terror Attack on Israel: ‘We Will Do It Again’

A senior Hamas official has vowed they will continue to attack Israel until the country is destroyed.

Speaking to Memri, a research organisation based in the US, Ghazi Hamad said: “We will repeat the October 7 attack time and again until Israel is annihilated.

“We are victims – everything we do is justified.” . . .

Over 8,300 Palestinians and 1,400 Israelis have died since the conflict began last month. (Read more from “Hamas Official Issues Sinister Warning as He Vows To Repeat Horrific Terror Attack on Israel: ‘We Will Do It Again’” HERE)

Why Biden’s New Ambassador to Israel Is ‘Deeply Disturbing’ (VIDEO)

The Senate has confirmed President Biden’s nominee pick for ambassador to Israel.

Jacob Lew won in a 53-43 vote after weeks of Republican opposition.

Glenn Beck isn’t so sure he’s right for the job despite the fact that Lew himself is an orthodox Jew. . .

“Apparently, Jack Lew is one of the main players in Obama’s Iran nuclear deal. He is also the main guy Obama used to sell the deal to the Jewish community,” Glenn explains, adding, “He probably quickly realized the deal backfired.”

Glenn worries there’s a chance Lew will use his “financial and negotiation skills” to “continue what Biden has been doing all along: appeasing Iran, making the perfect opportunity for government money laundering.”
