Great insight into Hamas from American thinker
Money is fuel. It makes things happen, no different than natural gas, diesel, coal, or nuclear materials. A perfect example of this truism is the Gaza Strip, where Hamas built its evil empire on the surprisingly generous contributions of the United States, the European Union, the United Nations, Iran, and other individual countries. Gaza is the singular example of a totally welfare-supported state that would collapse without this eternal ‘humanitarian aid.’ To my knowledge, no other such completely dependent national entity exists. That makes Gaza an artificial statelet with little hope for future prosperity. Why does Gaza merit this special status? Why is Gaza not allowed to evolve or devolve towards its natural state of productivity like all other states?
Its status as a beloved ward of international bodies becomes evident from the wails of pain emitted in sympathy for the Gazans by people like Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations. He had no words of comfort for Israel immediately after October 7th.
It appears to be the contention that even before the holocaust of October 7th, prosperous Israel has always been the cause of Gaza’s poverty. Now, even more so now that the war against Hamas is in full swing, Israel must prevent the starvation of the Gazans by expediting aid to both the civilians and the vicious thieving Hamas terrorists who use the international aid for themselves, hoard it, or put up for sale the stolen food and supplies to ordinary Gazans.
We need to ask who profits from the perennially impoverished Gazan population. Apart from pure anti-Semites, it would be all those who are disgusted by Israel’s military and political independence. The Israeli people have taken it as their national goal to be able to defend the remnants of the Holocaust and the painful centuries that led to it. But Israeli military independence is unacceptable to many, especially when it seems, surprisingly, that its citizens are capable of defending themselves.
