Last month, Israel cut off shipments of humanitarian supplies to Gaza, which anonymous informants allege Hamas militants had been seizing and selling to raise funds. Israel also killed Hamas officials who filled key financial roles in the terrorist organization, per The Wall Street Journal.

“Even if they sit on large amounts of cash, their ability to distribute it would be very limited right now,” said Eyal Ofer, an expert on Gaza’s economy. He told The Wall Street Journal that Hamas usually supplies payments via courier or through geographic disbursement locations. However, “Those two things would grab attention,” he said.

As a result, Hamas is facing a shortage of funds, he said.

Moumen Al-Natour, a Palestinian lawyer from the Al-Shati camp in central Gaza and an opponent of Hamas, reported that Hamas has “a big crisis” on its hands, saying the group leaders “were mainly dependent on humanitarian aid sold in black markets for cash,” according to the Times of Israel.

Officials report that Hamas has so far relied on its reserves of roughly $500 million, though those are reportedly dwindling.

The Times of Israel noted that Hamas is also struggling to attract new recruits. And, as the Deseret News previously reported, Gazans have been protesting the war, even as Hamas cracks down on protesters who are advocating for Hamas to agree to a ceasefire.

Filth on both sides here in NY.

So now Muslims are for women's rights? Please.

Still, awful on both parts.

I don't think that's an apt comparison. America is not an antisemitic nation by and large. This is the effect of immigrants not needing to assimilate and carrying homeland grudges. Still horrible, but not 1930's Germany.

I agree. I posted it for the video rather than the commentary.

[Mik]

Both sides were carrying flags. This particular incident looks like both sides were willing participants and looking for trouble. Still, i would not have objected to a few wood shampoos being applied.

Not that I know too much about him, but I found this surprising.

Fantastic. Sadly accurate.
