I again say that if Israeli soldiers abuse Palestinian women, they must be punished harshly; if Hamas fighters abuse Israeli women, they must be punished harshly! But Rogan, you forgot Israeli women,
How come? Who is standing up for them as they remain buried underground with children in GAZA, who? You? Then say something on your platform! Hamas pounded nails into their vaginas?
So where are the women groups? How come the 5 rabid twisted freaks on The View do not stand up for these women? Do the morons who host The View, these lunatic ladies think Israeli women are less than other women? For the Israeli children held captive in tunnels in GAZA? How come? I ask Joe Rogan in the spirit of commenting, to comment on Iran’s volley of missiles and drones into Israel today…if he thinks that is ok…just a little comment.
What Hamas did to Shani Louk was beyond the pale. She was a civilian. Those gutless armed islamists bastards murdered that 23 year old civilian and paraded her abused and lifeless body through Gaza. It shits me when people call those scum "fighters." They are too gutless to fight soldiers. I get that Israelis have raped and massacred Palestinian civilians in the past. I watched the filmed interviews with the grinning former Israeli soldiers confessing. But Hamas do themselves no favors by lowering themselves to the same level.
During the Trump years we had relative peace in the middle east and throughout the world.
What changed? obama lifted sanctions on iran who funds terror groups all over the middle east, like hamas.

The Islamic State militant group (ISIS) got its hands on vast supplies of weapons by taking advantage of U.S. weapons transfers that may have
violated international agreements between Washington and its allies, according to a new report.
As much as 90 percent of ISIS's arms and ammunition were found to have originated in Russia, China and Eastern European states. The jihadis were
able to obtain much of this arsenal as a result of former President Barack Obama's support for rebels in Syria, U.K.-based Conflict Armament
Research reported after analyzing 40,000 items recovered by its investigators along ISIS front lines between July 2014 and November 2017. By
purchasing "large numbers" of European arms and ammunition and then diverting them to nonstate actors in Syria without notifying the sellers, the
U.S. reportedly "violated the terms of sale and export agreed between weapon exporters...and recipients."

Davos, Switzerland CNN —
Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged to CNBC Thursday that some of the money Iran received in sanctions relief would go to groups considered
terrorists.
When asked about whether some the $150 billion in sanctions relief to Iran would go to terrorist groups, Kerry reiterated that, after settling debts,
Iran would receive closer to $55 billion. He conceded some of that could go to groups considered terrorists, saying there was nothing the U.S. could
do to prevent that.
“I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC or other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists,” he said in the interview in
Davos, referring to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. “You know, to some degree, I’m not going to sit here and tell you that every component of that
can be prevented.”

Greenway: So, Hamas is an extension of the Muslim Brotherhood among the Palestinians that live in Gaza, but it's not confined to Gaza. It is an
acronym, it means the Islamic Resistance Movement. It was established in 1987, and its purpose is to oppose what they term as Israeli occupation.
They don't recognize the state of Israel and they call for explicitly in their charter, which was a year after their founding in 1988, affirmed
again in 2015, it calls for the destruction of Israel as a state and as a nation and as a people. They mean it, and they've acted several times to
advance that cause. And they are a designated terrorist organization, not just by the United States, European Union and many other nations because
of this reason, and under the previous administration, the Trump administration, we made a conscious decision to stop all direct and indirect
funding to it as a result.
I'll make one other statement, which is critically important. They are a wholly owned subsidiary, a franchise of Tehran. They are almost exclusively
funded, supported, trained, equipped, and provided the ability to manufacture weapons themselves by Tehran, and they don't act absent direction or
control, especially at the scale we saw this weekend, absent Tehran's guidance. And so, it's important to remember here that in this case we're not
dealing with just Hamas, we are dealing with the organization that controls Hamas and funds and supports it and that is in Tehran.
Guiney: And when you say Tehran, you're talking about the nation of Iran.
Greenway: The Islamic Republic of Iran, that's correct.

Since coming to power in the Gaza Strip 17 years ago, Hamas has filled its coffers with hundreds of millions in international aid, overt and covert
injections of cash from Iran and other ideological partners, as well as cryptocurrency, taxes, extortion and smuggling, according to current and
former U.S. officials and regional experts.
Much of the money is public and legal, including large sums of financial aid from Qatar via the United Nations, an arrangement encouraged and
approved by Israel. The Qatari aid covers the salaries of civil servants, buys fuel for the power grid and provides cash to needy families.

Contributions from Iran to the terror organization are estimated at $250 million each year since 2014.
Hamas has since its inception in 1987 received significant support, including weapons and training from Tehran.
At first, Hamas tried to preserve relative independence but following the death of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin in May 2004, Khaled Mashaal sought to
increase funding from Islamic Republic significantly.
Iran’s financial and military support to Hamas has continued to grow steadily over time, especially after the terror organization took control of
Gaza in 2007.
Hamas ran into a disagreement with Iran over the former’s opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during the civil war.
However, Iranian funding for Hamas never completely stopped. By early 2014, relations between Hamas and Iran started to get back on track.
It is largely believed that Iran’s terrorist programs, and its dedicated effort to arm and finance Hamas, enabled Hamas to launch its Oct. 7 assault
on southern Israel which killed 1,200 people.

Last week, the State Department announced that the Trump administration had concluded an internal review and decided to end all U.S. contributions
to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
Part of the administration’s justification for the decision was the disproportionate level of U.S. financial support, but the more fundamental
reason to end U.S. funding lies with the many flaws that have plagued the UN agency for decades.
Importantly, the U.S. has made clear that the decision to end funding does not mean it is abandoning the peace process or the Palestinian people:
[T]he United States will intensify dialogue with the United Nations, host governments, and international stakeholders about new models and new
approaches, which may include direct bilateral assistance from the United States and other partners, that can provide today’s Palestinian children
with a more durable and dependable path toward a brighter tomorrow.
Substantial evidence indicates that the UNRWA has contributed to Palestinian extremism. For instance:
The agency has and likely continues to employ individuals affiliatedwith Hamas, a Palestinian Islamist extremist group in control of Gaza
designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, Israel, and the European Union and that refuses to recognize Israel’s right to exist.
There have been frequent claims (backed by evidence) that Palestinian schools administered by the UNRWA, have used textbooks and allowed the
presence of materials that delegitimize Israel, denigrate Jews, and venerate martyrdom.
The UNRWA encourages the Palestinian fixation on a “right to return” to Israel, which impedes negotiations for a permanent peace agreement.
Hamas has used the agency’s facilities and schools to store weaponsand divert assistance to its purposes.
