Hamas Billionaire Khaled Mashaal Says Gaza Destruction Has Been Worth It
Frontpagemagazine ^ | July 9, 2024 | Hugh Fitzgerald

Posted on 07/09/2024 6:38:17 AM PDT by SJackson

While he’s living high in Doha.

In his Marie-Antoinette let-them-eat-cake moment, one of the senior leaders, of Hamas, Khaled Mashaal, who both the Israeli and American government agree has stolen $4 billion from the aid meant for ordinary Gazans, has declared himself well satisfied with the destruction of infrastructure in Gaza during the current war. He’s living in a luxury hotel in Doha, far from the battlefield. Why should he care that the war he helped to start has meant such misery for people in Gaza? More on his sublime indifference to their condition can be found in the interview he just gave to Sky News here: “Hamas’s Mashaal: Gaza is destroyed, but this is part of ‘march toward liberation,’” by Lazar Berman, Times of Israel, June 27, 2024:

Senior Hamas official Khaled Mashaal…acknowledges the damage wrought to the territory in the aftermath of the October 7 attack. “Gaza is now destroyed,” he says. “Every fair-minded person sees that this is absolutely true.”

However, he says, this is all part of the “march of our people toward liberation.”

“Gaza is now destroyed,” Mashaal claims. This is not true. Only 17% of the infrastructure in the Strip has been demolished, while a great many other buildings have been severely damaged.

Mashaal doesn’t care about the Gazans whose interests he claims to represent and whose lives his terrorist group, Hamas, has helped to ruin. He’s one of those fanatics who is willing to slaughter real people now for the sake of a dream coming true later —in his case, the total destruction of Israel “from the river to the sea” and its replacement by a 23rd Arab state. Others of a similar bent include the demented Marxist Abimael Guzman, head of the Sendero Lubinoso (Shining Path) in Peru, or the even crazier Pol Pot, who as leader of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia slaughtered millions of his fellow Cambodians, especially the entire intellectual class who it was believed, would be most resistant to the Khmer Rouge’s program to “equalize” society.

It is Hamas that dragged Israel into a war it did not want, with the atrocities — rapes, tortures, murders, mass kidnappings — Hamas carried out on October 7. The IDF could do no other than respond with a ferocious counterattack after the October 7 atrocities, to make sure that Hamas will never again be a military power capable of repeating those atrocities, despite the Hamas boast that it will repeat them, as soon as it is able,” again and again.”

Now the Gaza campaign is winding down. The Israelis have killed at least half of the Hamas combatants holed up in Gaza, and are in the process of dismantling what remains of all four of the Hamas battalions that were believed to still be intact in that city just a month ago. Meanwhile, the IDF is also dealing with Hamas remnants operating in northern Gaza, attempting but so far failing, to regroup.

Given Khaled Mashaal’s huge theft of Gazan aid money, and his cloudless life in a luxury hotel in Gaxa, one might have expected him to at least express fellow feeling for those Palestinians whose homes have been destroyed or damaged in Gaza,or who have had family members wounded or killed. No such luck. He’s delighted with such destruction. He doesn’t care about those civilian deaths. After all, the misery of the Palestinians in Gaza — for which Hamas alone, with its embedding of both men and weapons in civilian areas and buildings (schools, apartments, mosques) — is responsible, allows Hamas to score propaganda points with its depiction of the “cruel” IDF.

When will the people in Gaza dare to hold mass demonstrations denouncing not just Khaled Mashaal, but his fellow Hamas billionaires Moussa abu Marzouk and Ismael Haniyeh, who, like Mashaal, stole their money — $4 billion by Marzouk, $3 billion by Haniyeh — from the aid sent to support the people of Gaza? When will someone at the UN, or in Congress, or among the Bidenites stand up and demand that every effort must be made to claw back those $11 billion, which will go a long way to help rebuild Gaza?

Muslims who strictly adhere to the Quran and Hadiths don't have the same kind of consciences as people steeped in Judeo/Christian culture. To us, there's very little difference between a true-believing Muslim and a psychopath.

They don’t share the values of Jews and Christians. They hate Jews more than they love their own children.

Contrast that with the Israeli left: “We want the hostages back, and we don’t care if that would rescue Hamas to take more hostages later.”

I’m surprised that the Israelis haven’t hacked his assets.

Now we know where we can send all of those starving homeless Gazans, instead of taking them here in USA.

It makes no difference if the entire proxy of Islam (Hamas) is eliminated. Other proxies remain unaffected. Singleness of purpose. Jihad continues apace.

Just level the entire rat hole and be done with it. Seal every tunnel entrance by whatever means are necessary. Shove any survivors into Egypt at gunpoint. Shoot anyone who resists.

Islam is not a legitimate religion.

I have done a lot of reading on sexual deviance and based on what I have read, Muslims, especially the males, fit the profile of sexual deviants.

Based on that, Islam is nothing more than a sadistic sex cult and has no place in civilized societies or countries.

Yep. I would go so far as to say that it is a Middle Eastern Satanic cult.

Even Mohammed himself thought at first he had encountered a demon/jinn in the Cave of Hira and had become possessed.

It wasn't until his wife, Khadijah, consoled him, convincing him it was an angel, that he thought otherwise.

This is not difficult. Say he was on the way to Hamad International to catch a short flight, when he decided instead to use a Muzzie friend’s mega-yacht to get to Dubai. blub blub blub.
