Need proof Hamas cares nothing for the Palestinian people whose cause the terror cadre claims to champion?
Look no further than the suitcases of cold, hard cash unearthed by the IDF in the home of a senior member.Â
The cases contained more than US$1.3 million, equal to the entire amount of cash seized so far by Israeli forces between the start of the counterattack against Hamas and the end of November.
So let’s recap.Â
Hamas uses civilian Gaza as a base of operations and takes every step to maximize civilian casualties.Â
Its leadership plunders money meant for the public as well as water and fuel infrastructure to arm and equip its terror operations.Â
And the group’s masters hoard cash, even as ordinary Gazans suffer.Â
Why wasn’t all the hoarded money being used to deliver relief to the Gazans paying the price of Hamas’ kleptocracy and war crimes?Â
Because Hamas doesn’t care.Â
Don’t take our word for it, by the way.Â
Per Abu Marzouk, a senior Hamas member, his clique of murderers has no responsibility to — for example — build bomb shelters for Gaza civilians instead of terror tunnels for itself.Â
That’s despite the fact the group is believed to have an annual budget of some $450 million, a slush fund drawn from stolen aid funds plus a whole host of other criminality.Â
And don’t forget that the group’s supremos, including Abu Marzouk, live lives of utmost luxury in Doha, Qatar, and have a combined net worth of around $11 billion.Â
In other words, Hamas could single-handedly relieve enormous amounts of Palestinian suffering directly (to say nothing of ending the war tomorrow by laying down arms and returning the hostages).Â
That it chooses not to reveal the truth about its cause: pure, genocidal Jew-hatred, not the fight for a Palestinian state.Â
Marzuk and every other senior terrorist in the gang are utterly open about this.
The question then becomes why so much of the world has its eyes shut tight against the truth.Â
