Comments by "David H" (@DavidHalko) on "Why The US Fed Billions to Palestine" video.

  1. “why the topic” If an amount drives terrorism in one group and drives stability in another group - the problem is not the money, it is about the corruption of the group not performing well.

  2. Sounds easy, but Jewish people lived in the region, with Christians, and Muslims under the Ottoman Empire. When the Ottoman Empire dissolved, two states were to be stood up, Israel who housed Jews, Muslims, and Christians… and Palestine where Muslims started to genocide Jews & Christians. The ethnic culture problem is not a 2000 year old issue, but a 150-200 year old issue… with the Ottomans inadequately protecting Jews & Christians for the time that they ruled, going back farther in time.

  3. “600 million annually to Palestine” That happened over years, and massive quantities have been skimmed off — Three top leaders of Hamas alone have a staggering fortune of $11 billion, according to a report by New York Post. Ismail Haniyeh, Moussa Abu Marzuk and Khaleed Mashal have been maintaining their luxury lifestyle in Qatar, a relatively small yet powerful emirate in the Middle East, which provided a safe haven for them.

  4. Hamas has an unbelievable amount of aid going to Gaza. I know a young man who was there with an NGO for awhile. Hamas merely strips billions off to engorge their leaders & build terrorist infrastructure.

  5.  @paperplane-db8qf  - “Palestinians were not any race or religion” I don’t really disagree with you on this point. When the Ottomans ran things, the various dhimmi communities lived there. Druze were there, some others. “some religious disharmony, but that’s normal” The Hamas charter quotes some of that “disharmony” in Article 7 and it is by NOT NORMAL, “The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him." “Then the Europeans and Americans got their own country there” That is partially true. During WW1, Ottomans sent in their shock troops from Albania, to try to restore order in Palestine, and many of those European Muslims never left. During WW2, many of Hitler’s disaffected Muslim allies from Europe’s Balkans were sent in as mercenaries into Palestine to keep Israel from standing up a state, and many never left. The Jews who were there. They got their own country, an opportunity to have self-rule again, after a long time of not having it. And the Africans, Middle East, Anatolians, Persian/Asians Jews all got their own country there, once they emigrated back to Israel, who invited them. (Much of the pressure to return was because of the widespread publication of Nazi literature through the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, and Israel became a safe place.) The rest of the Palestinians never got their own country, with those Europeans, once Egypt & Jordan invaded the land, and kept Palestinians from standing up their own nation. “Deir Yassin massacre happened there” Yep. Arab militias under Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni blockaded the corridor from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, preventing essential supplies from reaching the Jewish population. The massacre happened while trying to break the blockade. Palestinian historian Aref al-Aref counted 117 victims. Oct 7 massacre was the latest massacre, done by whackos who believe in the Hamas charter and the religious sources it quotes. They killed over 10 times the number. Honestly, this is a good reason for people to have self-rule by government: people surrounding you are bent on killing you creates terrible effects. Their government should handle the power of the gun, through rule of law, not civilian militias.

  6. Like a Republic?

  7.  @puraLusa  - “even more divided?” They are already divided. The only thing that unifies them is hate. Once there is agreement to stand up their state with acceptance of neighboring UN sanctioned states, things will devolve into a multi-faction civil war, if they are all “under the same roof” They need decentralization. Where there is not Federalism, there winds up being tyranny.

  8.  @paperplane-db8qf  - “created and funded Hamas” The Hamas 1988 charter says: “The Islamic Resistance Movement: The Movement's programme is Islam. From it, it draws its ideas, ways of thinking and understanding of the universe, life and man.” … “The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of Moslem Brotherhood in Palestine. Moslem Brotherhood Movement is a universal organization which constitutes the largest Islamic movement in modern times.” Why would Hamas lie about their own origin, on the charter they published?
