Israel blamed for starving Palestinians while Hamas makes billions

Over the last three months, we’ve all seen just how evil the world is, but does the vast corruption and dishonesty rise to the level where even the billions made by Hamas terrorists will be ignored as accusations are hurled at Israel for the plight of suffering Gazans who claim they have no food? 

It was only a couple of days ago that a four-year-old item of news was finally made public. The story involved a flourishing monetary enterprise, which encompassed the Middle East, Africa and Turkey, as its hub.  Perhaps, the most shocking thing is that the moment Israel knew the existence of “secret documents which laid out, in intricate detail, what amounted to a private equity fund that Hamas used to finance its operations,” an enormous red flag should have been waived by security forces, political operatives and, most importantly, our prime minister.  

After all, countless Israeli representatives, including Netanyahu, consistently warned the world of the dangers of an Iranian regime with nuclear weapons, yet, they somehow let this vital information slip which, had it been known, might have been a gamechanger in so many ways.

Up until now, most people have looked upon the Palestinian people as the underdog – poor and pathetic outcasts who are poverty stricken and solely dependent upon employment, infrastructure, food, medical and essential services which must be provided by Israel. That’s why it has come as such a shock to discover that their leaders have been part of a seriously lucrative worldwide business entity, amassing enough wealth to provide a standard of living, for Palestinians, which would rival the most affluent countries. 

In fact, the IDF, just yesterday, while invading the Jabaliya home of a senior member of Hamas, uncovered two suitcases, filled with over $1.3 million in cash, in addition to many weapons. One can only imagine what that money was going to finance had it not been seized. Here are two guesses – either more terrorist activities or furthering the luxurious lifestyle of those who bark out orders from their plush 7-Star Qatar hotels as they dine on the finest delicacies money can buy.

This revelation, which went undisclosed for over 4 years, might have made a real difference in whether Oct. 7 would have happened at all. Because as more and more money filled the coffers of Hamas bank accounts, weapons were able to be purchased,and a sophisticated and well-devised plan was being facilitated to make the massacre possible.  

But wait, there’s more! Calcalistech reports that Israel also knew about a “secret operation to transfer 180 million NIS ($49.3 million) in cash from the north of the Gaza Strip to the south. The operation was conducted under a veil of secrecy during the ceasefire between Israel and the terrorist organization. Heavy security was assigned specifically to the money transfer, which was carried out with the knowledge of Israel.”

Why is the Israeli public just now finding out about this financial network empire that Hamas has been able to pull off? And, more importantly, why did we turn a blind eye to it, knowing that a terror group, which stores up this kind of wealth, could not possibly be to our benefit?

Political analysts are calling it a massive failure by Israel’s security and intelligence forces, which were always touted as being the finest in the world. They say that “it didn’t believe that the Palestinian militant group could launch such a dastardly and well-planned attack.”

And that is why the constant funneling of massive amounts of money from Qatar, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey didn’t raise any eyebrows, because the dots simply were not connected. No one from our intelligence, security or political sector, had the foresight to figure out that these large fortunes would be just the thing needed to finance the invasion that has now left the Jewish homeland reeling from the shock of our version of 9/11.  

Branching out into industries which included “mining, chicken farming, road-building companies in Sudan, twin skyscrapers in the UAE, property development in Algeria and a real estate firm listed on the Turkish stock exchange,” Hamas was able to parlay their investments into a war machine juggernaut which has significantly bludgeoned Israel in such a way that we will never be the same.

But that may be a good thing. Because just as a fatigued driver, who momentarily dozes off at the wheel, but opens his eyes just in time to avoid crashing into a wall, Israel has now had its own eyes opened, and it’s doubtful that they will ever be shut again. We finally know, as does the world, who Hamas is and of what horrors they are capable.  

We also know that they care nothing about the people for whom they claim to be championing. If anyone ever doubted that, just look at what they decided to invest their fortunes in – a war they could not win but that would actually make matters much worse for Gazans. Let’s not forget the lavish lifestyles their top guns are now living. All of this is on the backs of their people who are now hungry and displaced, thanks to their elected officials.

The world can no longer blame Israel, even though we know it will, for the misfortunes of Palestinians who are nothing more than the means to an end for the evil monsters who have forged nothing good for anyone but have, instead, used their resources to wreak destruction and death for their own people and ours. This is a true representation of what has occurred in the nation of Israel and the region bordering Gaza over the last three months.

It's now time for an honest reckoning of these painful revelations by the media, the United Nations and the ignorant antisemites, throughout the world, who have no comprehension of what’s been going on. They need to confront the rightful perpetrators who are guilty of causing the real pain and suffering for Palestinians.  

Finally, although some of Israel’s security, intelligence and political leaders have already admitted their grave errors, which cost us the precious blood of innocents, they need to have a “sackcloth and ashes” moment where they deeply express their profound grief for the negligence and oversight that has collectively wounded us all. 

Anything less will show that they also lack a heart for their own people, who are not only mourning the loss of over 1,000 who were horrifically slaughtered, but also the leaders they believed and trusted in to keep them safe and secure. That dream has been fractured but, with God’s help, we also, by now, will have learned that we can only trust in Him and no one else!
