US supports Hamas

Armed groups need a few things to function effectively, and without them, they just don’t work well at all. We talk about discipline, intelligence, compartmentalization, logistics, arms, etc. but the bottom line is – the bottom line. Money, honey. Moollah, mullah. Without that golden flow (pun intended) nothing happens.

Much has been made of the $6,000,000,000 the US promised to send back to Iran a while back. However, like any action governmental, we’re told that money hasn’t reached Iran yet, and lately we are reassured that the money has not yet left Qatar and that we have an “understanding ” with Qatar that it will not be released. (If nothing else in the world shows you what the mullahs running Iran are, the fact that these moneys were part of hostage negotiations tells you exactly what we are dealing with: gangsters. That they hide it behind pious readings of surahs and intonations that “Islam is the religion of peace” doesn’t matter: thugs demand ransoms. No one else.) The good part:

Going weak and appeasing to Iran quickly backfired as Iran helped plan an attack with Hamas terrorists that killed over 1,300 innocent civilians, including 29 Americans.

Over 150 people were taken hostage, including possibly 14 Americans who remain missing.

Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo confirmed to House Democrats that Iran will not be allowed to access the $6 billion.

The money “isn’t going anywhere anytime soon,” according to Democratic aides.

Both Democrat and Republican lawmakers demanded the Biden administration refreeze the $6 billion transfer.  America Insider

I sure am relieved, aren’t you? But then…

The American Rescue Plan, a COVID-19 relief bill pushed through Congress with unanimous Democrat support in the Senate and almost unanimous in the House, allocated $33.7 million to the United Nations Relief & Works Agency through the State Department’s Migration and Refugee Assistance program, according to data from USASpending.gov, as part of $500 million that was included in the bill for the State Department to fund migration and refugee assistance.

UNRWA has faced intense scrutiny in recent years from critics who say the group has not done enough to prevent aid from reaching the hands of Hamas terrorists. UNRWA locations have reportedly housed Hamas activities and spread Hamas propaganda in schools.

In 2014, the left-leaning New Republic described UNRWA as “effectively a branch of Hamas.”  Fox News

When a Democrat gets outed by the New Republic, you know there is something to talk about. NR is probably as far left as the Times, WaPo, Mother Jones, and the Daily Worker – combined. (It is not, however, true that New Republic translates into Russian as Pravda West.) May not be $6 very large, but $33 mill buys a lot of AK ammo. Note the dates – the New Republic comment was back in the Obama administration, and Joe’s still giving them money almost a decade later.

So if you were worried that Hamas was being cut off from American governmental cash infusions, fear not. Yet another Covid bit of prestidigitation is keeping them flush.

Aren’t you happy your taxes are being spent so wisely?
