Palestinian Authority: 1,700 Hamas Millionaires in Gaza
Front Page Mag ^ | March 24, 2014 | Daniel Greenfield

The Palestinian Authority, the world’s welfare state, is having another internecine feud between the Hamas militias which control Gaza and the Fatah militias which control the West Bank.

And Fatah, which controls the official Palestinian Authority apparatus thanks to Obama’s support, despite not actually doing the whole ‘elections’ thing, has let slip a little fact about life in horribly oppressed and besieged Gaza.

It’s because they don’t have anything to spend their money on - they should thank the Israelis for the blockade.

I read an editorial from Egypt a few weeks ago that condemned Egyptian aid to Gaza.

Rough quote:

“The poor in Gaza already live much better than the poor in Egypt.”

‘Over all, at least 268 of the 534 current members of Congress had an average net worth of $1 million or more in 2012, which is the year covered by the reports that each lawmaker had to file in 2013.’

What's the difference. Neither represents their constituents desires!

Move gaza to an Islamic country (use all the USA taxpayers’ $$ that Obama’s been giving them. — better than giving it to crooks or having it spent on bombs to kill innocent Israelis ). Then, the ya a problem is solved without more bloodshed.

So much Western money, including Israel money, has been poured into the Palestinian Authority and its allied groups, that each of the Muslim residents should by now be the very richest people on the planet. Their corrupt leaders take obscene amounts of money for themselves and spend the rest on the teaching of hate and the buying of killing machines. What a pathetic and brainwashed set of people. They could have had it all many times over, but hate poisons their minds.
