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.

Was it with Israeli sympathizers and cheerleaders? You guys are totally devoid of balance, justice or fairplay. A human is a human, a Palestinian life is equal to an Israeli life. It's that simple. No wonder no sane person no longer buys the IsraHell quadruple double standard. They use their double standard, anti-semitic refrain to mask and legitimize their carnage and horror. Their behaviour is beyond criminal and disgusting and should be dealt with!

Thank Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. I don’t expect anything from Owens. I had her number from Day One, but Tucker? What a terrible disappointment. He’s spreading this crap everywhere. Left, right and undecided.

The anti-semitism is truly DISGUSTING just by the silence from all the MSM about the HORRIFIC EVIL TORTURE & REPEATED RAPE of Israeli women, men & CHILDREN?!?

Also the murder of babies, elderly, women & men???

Hamas, Hezbollah & other Muslim terrorist organizations commit totally barbaric, evil, demonic tortures, rapes, beheadings, etc… EVERY DAY throughout the world yet people try to paint those who are trying to stop them & fight back as the evil ones??? Why???

The Muslim terrorists always seem to “get a pass” when they commit atrocious crimes throughout the world, including the USA.

Our MSM plays down or doesn’t cover Muslim terrorist crimes but let one Christian or Jew do something not even half as bad & the MSM plasters that everywhere!?!

So disgusted with our evil & corrupt governments, MSM & their double standards & lack of any morals.

Muslim Terrorists GANG RAPED women to DEATH!!!

To the point where they broke her pelvic bones?!?

And MSM doesn’t talk about how the Muslim terrorists hide their compounds & weapons under schools & hospitals so if their enemy strikes them then they can play the victim card???

I’m disgusted with all the antisemitism & anti-Christianity that our governments & MSM are pushing!

I think our governments allow/use the Muslim terrorists to achieve more war & Depopulation, eventually when the Muslim terrorists start attacking close to the WEF tyrants neighborhoods is when they will eventually stop them, unless the Muslim organizations totally infiltrate our governments & highest levels, then what???
