Far from Gaza hardships, Hamas chief and family enjoy easy life in Qatar
Times of Israel ^ | 10/17/2023 | Gianluca Pacchiani

For years, Haniyeh has been rebuked by many Palestinians for leading a comfortable life away from the hardships of Gaza in the oil-rich Gulf monarchy, which offers shelter to the terror group’s leaders and an internationally recognized platform to spread its propaganda through Al Jazeera.

Senior Hamas figures, including Haniyeh, would levy a 20 percent tax on all of the trade passing through the tunnels, according to a 2014 report in Ynet, an Israeli news site.

A senior PA official alleged that the tunnel-smuggling market had transformed 1,700 senior Hamas officials into millionaires, according to a report in Saudi weekly Al-Majalla.

Quite the revolutionary. Just like the race baiters in the US, the religion baiters in the middle east make quite a living while at the same time proving once again how useful the concept of the useful idiot is.

This is an area where the US should step in. Let Israelis deal w/the ground war. The US should take this guy out.

Below is a brief article on TOMAHAWKs:

I’m sure that Mossad will be happy to help him, and his fellow terrorist millionaires, to meet Allah, face to face, as soon as Israel gets this war resolved.

Hopefully, it shouldn’t take as long as ‘Operation Wrath of God’ did. It is so heartwarming to know that Mossad would help them to meet their ‘god’!

Israeli intelligence estimates that Arafat was worth $1 billion when he died. Ya think he was maybe siphoning off aid to the Palestinians? Like aid to the Ukraine, was anybody watching?

Must feel nice, killing babies, raping women and using the Palestinian people as hostages

Why should Mossad wait until Gaza has been reduced to rubble?
Don’t the Hamas vermin fervently believe in “decapitation”? Decapitation may be the quickest way to end the infestation in Gaza.

This might be possible because aid money might be sent through Qatar.

Boots on the ground usually ensure non-resident big shots get replaced.

I’m sure Mossad is doing what they consider best, to get the hostages back and destroy Hamass as an organization. Revenge will come later.

As the mafia supposedly says, ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold.’

Personally, I think they should start with his fingers, one joint at a time, one finger at a time, one hand at a time. Then they can restart the same process with his feet. Preferably using a dull blade.

Not nice, but for the ones who order, and perform the burning of, and decapitation of infants, it is fitting and just, IMO.

Road trip? Eh, I’m sure that Mossad is already in-country.

Yes, just like the BLM leaders with their mansions. It takes people without a soul to do these things, and it takes ignorant sheeple to allow themselves to become victims.

“I’m sure that Mossad is already in-country.”

The Hamas leader has been in Qatar for years, it is no secret. Mossad never got him and it will be tough to get him now. Israel also has to take in consideration the broader ramifications of taking a guy like this out on Qatari soil.

Why doesn’t Mossad have eyes on this guy and his family?

Are you referring to the Mossad that did NOT foresee the long-planned attack on Israel by Hamas’ sub-humans?

Another thought to ponder: “People who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.”

It doesn’t matter.

In order to destroy the Iranian capability to attack Israel, the incursion by Hamas had to occur.

Your sophomoric blame game is trivial nonsense

The Hamas Iranian surrogate is being totally destroyed and killed to the last man and bodyguard family

From a purely selfish perspective, I don’t want to get killed int he cross fire, and wish to remain outside of the blast radius.
