Hamas is stealing all the aid that enters Gaza.

An elderly woman in Gaza was being interviewed by an Al Jazeera reporter when, no doubt to his surprise, she denounced Hamas for stealing all the aid meant for the people of Gaza. You can see her brave outburst here: “WATCH: Gaza woman tells Al-Jazeera Hamas stealing all the aid,” Times of Israel, December 7, 2023:
In a rare display of public criticism, a Gaza resident tells the Al-Jazeera TV channel that the lack of aid to residents of the Strip is due to Hamas stealing it.
Asked about the supposed trickle of aid coming into Gaza, the woman, says there is plenty of aid, but “all aid goes down (into Hamas tunnels).”
“The aid does not reach the nation, all the people,” she says.
When the journalist from the pro-Palestinian Qatari channel tells her that only a small amount of aid is coming in and it is all being distributed, she shakes her fingers at him and says: “All of it goes into their houses. They take it and will even shoot me or do whatever they want, Hamas.”
In a related story, the IDF recently found receipts in a Hamas-occupied house in Gaza, made out to Moaz Haniyeh, the son of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas’ “political wing,” for $25,000 worth of jewelry. That story can be found here: “IDF shows receipts it says show Haniyeh’s son bought thousands of dollars of jewelry,” Times of Israel, December 7, 2023:
The IDF publishes receipts found during raids on Hamas sites in the Gaza Strip that it sayshows that a son of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh bought jewelry in recent years worth thousands of dollars while many in Gaza were going hungry.
The post from IDF Arabic language spokesman Avicha ynAdraee purport to show receipts from both Gaza and Qatar for purchases made by Moaz Haniyeh.
The five receipts total some $25,000.
The post notes that the “amount of just one receipt is equivalent to approximately two years’ wages for a Gaza resident.”
What will Gaza residents make of such lavish spending by a member of Hamas’ royalty? And what will the Gazans think,as they try to survive, and support their families, on a few thousand dollars a year,when they discover that Ismail Haniyeh, who has for years been living in five-star luxury in Doha, has amassed a fortune of $4 billion? Or when they find out that two other Hamas leaders, Moussa bin Marzouk and Khaled Meshaal, both of them also living large in Doha, have helped themselves to $3 billion and $4 billion, respectively, that is, at least a thousand times what the average Palestinian breadwinner can make in a year of toil, assuming he can even find a job?
Once the IDF has destroyed Hamas’ military might, what will the people of Gaza do to the remaining Hamas members, now suddenly vulnerable? They are likely to explode — like the elderly woman who denounced Hamas to an Al Jazeera reporter — in murderous rage at the Hamas operatives still alive in Gaza who have made their lives so miserable for so long. How will those in the West who are now so busy defending Hamas as the legitimate “resistance” to colonial-settler-apartheid-genocidal Israel then react? Will those students on campus now loudly declaring “we are Hamas” and “we echo Hamas” find a new way to express their hatred of Israel? Of course they will.

No sympathy what so ever. If the citizens wanted to they could have rid themselves of the trash, there are ways to get rid of trash and no one would be the wiser, ask Jimmy Hoffa.

Really! Only Hamas have the guns. Every opponent of Hamas is shot dead.

The young boy’s reaction says to me that he knows this woman may be one of the next “Israeli bomb” targets.

I’m sure they’ll kill that old lady……..and a man buying $25k worth of jewelry??? Off the top of the building………

Wish Israel catches these Hamas chiefs and recoup the stolen money for the reconstruction of Gaza all under the supervision of a neutral country. It’s nothing new these terrorist leaders have been pocketing most of the money. Unfortunately the Palestinians are supporting them by looking the other way. That poor woman most likely will be murdered and will be a true martyr worthy of Heaven despite being Muslim. This story should be on every TV station all over the world. Hezbollah’s Hassan Nazrallah is worth a pretty penny as well. I guess preaching Bull ? to the Hoi Polloi is profitable.

Yes, but has this elderly woman figured out that Hamas is merely a symptom and not the cause, the cause being Islam in its “full glory?” I think not.
A most invidious, deceptive and mendacious game continues over and over and over again, whether in Gaza, in Israel proper, in the USA, in France, in Canada, in Australia and all across the world and that is the outright refusal to acknowledge that Islam is a simply horrible religion, a theological recipe for hatred, intolerance, violence and the perpetual stultification of the mind, body and spirit. It is the longest-lived ideological oppressor anyway you figure it all the while masquerading as something good and noble.
Until this is realized about Islam, everything else will be futile, nothing more than smoke and mirrors and often quite deadly smoke and mirrors. Sometimes this lack of realization will nonetheless occasionally tactically achieve a victory here or there against Mo’s warped creed (e.g., the killing of Qasem Soleimani and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi), but no ultimate strategic victory is possible until Islam is looked upon and treated as Nazism was in WWII and Communism in the Cold War.
There is no good Islam and it cannot be rescued from itself anymore than Nazism or Marxism can be. There is no redeeming this evil belief system. All contending otherwise are either foolish or something even worse. Islam cannot have defenders who are wise and correct. Such is impossible.

Wellington,
Agree 100%.
The Western world is petrified to conduct a “root cause analysis” of all the problems associated with the people who emigrate from islamic countries – namely ISLAM.
Without the proper analysis, you just deal with the symptoms – without solving the actual problem.

OLD GUY says
Vary well written, and a lot of TRUTH. Until the root of the problem ISLAM is recognized as the culprit there will be only bandages applied. To cure the problem the cancer “islam” must be cut out and destroyed.
