“The mission team found clear and convincing information that some hostages taken to Gaza have been subjected to various forms of conflict-related sexual violence and has reasonable grounds to believe that such violence may be ongoing,” the report also said.
Hamas fucking sucks. And they walked away from the latest cease fire talks. Hamas does not give a liquid shit about the Palestinians. Their lack of shits given has to be up there with Israel’s. The first time I was old enough to sort of understand what was happening in the news was in 1982 when Lebanon and Israel got into it. It’s just such a weird area of religiously-driven genocidal goals for, it seems, every group against each other, but all of them against the infidel Jews. It’s insane.
Their leader is a 88 year old rich man who lives in the only palace in Palestine. He spends most of his time with his Saudi buddies in comfort, he literally could not give two shits about Palestine.
You’re thinking of Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of Fatah and president of the PA. His government’s also extremely corrupt but nothing on the scale of Hamas. In fact, they are despised by Hamas for their willingness to cooperate with Israel on certain matters.
His personal wealth is estimated somewhere around $100 million.
Keeping in mind that he is considered corrupt by his own people, and has more power on the world stage, more formal authority, and oversees a larger portion of the Palestinian population, his wealth is still a drop in the bucket compared to the leaders of Hamas.
Ismail Haniyeh is worth est. $4 billion. Khaled Mashal is worth est. $4 billion as well. Abu Marzuk is worth est. $3 billion. All three of them live outside Palestine. Say what you will about Abbas, at least he lives with his people.
If you’re wondering how three different leaders of one of the poorest regions of one of the poorest countries in the world managed to become multi billionaires, all while their people starved, then you’re asking very good questions.
