Hamas attacks Israel

spending is limited to humanitarian purposes and the international community, including the US, has oversight of how they get spent
Someone, apparently, has a differing view of "oversight."

"Humanitarian" could easily mean "attack Israel" in that culture.

I have no knowledge whether that $6B was fundamental in financing this attack, by the way, and I'm not claiming that it was.
Just that the Iranians seem to think they can do whatever they want with the money, despite what we're told.
Of course, why would we ever distrust the Iranians, right?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Not only is money fungible, different sources of money, allegedly siloed from one another, are also fungible. If a country produces just enough to feed itself, and gets a gift which is just enough to feed itself, it can use the gift to feed itself, and have its own production burning a hole in its pocket.

What happened with Iron Dome?
I originally read that it was "overwhelmed." Now I'm seeing stories that it was "down." Was it purposefully disabled to allow the attacks?

Ironic, since you’re the one taking the ayatollah’s version of things over the public agreement between the West and Qatar.
While the fungibility argument could be made six months from now, there simply wasn’t time for there to be a causal connection between that money and this operation.
What I really find tedious though, is that so much of Magat Twitter didn’t even bother condemning Hamas, they fell straight into their Blame America First schtick.
Only non-witches get due process.

I’ve been all day in the hospital. Just returned. Back again early tomorrow. No time to respond here. But things are tense.
All my family are all ok.

Very glad to hear it. It must be stressful.

Interesting, when I Google iron dome failure I get old stories of it failing. Maybe it’s not that stable.

Yes, they need to be deprogrammed.
