The killing, which Iran and Hamas blamed on Israel and pledged to avenge, threatens to plunge the region further into chaos and raised fresh doubts about Gaza cease-fire talks.
Israel not only let suitcases full of money get to Hamas across the border, they outright solicited donations to Hamas from other countries.
Obviously the people running Hamas are going to be corrupt and taking a huge slice of that money.
Hell, the only reason Hamas is “in control” of Gaza is Israel refuses to let Gaza hold a new election. The whole situation is just so Israel has an excuse to act like this.
Just like the reason Israel took so long to take this guy out, probably has more to do with Joe Biden stepping down than anything else. Bibi just came back from DC, and he probably realizes the clock is running down on unconditional support. So we’re going to see them focus more on actual military targets for the next few months, then a ceasefire while Biden is in office.
I’m suggesting that the reason Hamas has any measure of control or authority is because Israel refuses to let Gaza vote them out, so they can say Hamas is a valid reason to persecute everyone in Gaza.
But Israel smuggling money for Hamas, and preventing an election so Hamas could be kicked out of power are facts
What’s your suggestion for why Israel would do those two things?
Suggesting that hamas is corrupt and their goal is to steal money doesnt make sense. Their leaders in and out of gaza has been being targeted all the time. If you want to get rich you could easily go to west bank and live happily with LPO who are the actual thieves.
I was under the impression that a Hamas leader wouldn’t look so rich and healthy, surrounded by Iranian lawmakers.
I was expecting more of a “Rebel” look.
Why?

So you’re suggesting Hamas is in on it?
As in Israel created and controls them? Oh nooooo whodathunkit
You don’t have to be rude, it’s just a question
My Apologies, never intended to be rude to you

Why do they try so hard to keep Hamas in power?
I was just asking ffs
Sometimes people are volatile and don’t realize it
On Lemmy, I doubt they don’t realize it
It’s hard to display tone and obvious sarcasm. People just can’t tell anymore .

Just like a criminal organization can have middle management get arrested because the top guy gives them up.
