You do know that Hamas and Hezbollah had been getting their money from Iran, don't you?

I stopped reading right there. It seems we’ve had this conversation before. One of the largest indirect sources of funding for Hamas over the last 15+ years has been the Israeli government itself, which allowed the transfer of funds to Hamas from Qatar. This was done to give Israel leverage over one faction in the divided leadership of Gaza.

Historically, Hamas has been a SUNNI Islamic faction. Any funds they have received from Iran were surely dwarfed by what they’ve received from Saudi Arabia and the wealthy Sunni kingdoms in the Persian Gulf region.

Yeah, you'll focus on the trivial aspect of what I said at the expense of the core issue.

I think my brother in law used to call this "A nickel holding up a dollar."

Older adage is "Penny wise and dollar foolish."
