Allen West: Who says I’m not fair & balanced – 2 video views of the Israeli conflict

Those who reject this evidence and continues to protest in support of Hamas & condemn Israel is clearly either anti-Semitic or deluded – or both.

By Allen West

War is Good! Hamas’ Millionaires’ Club Boasts 1,200 Members

Gaza’s corrupt leaders and other Hamas officials now boast of having over 1,200 millionaires, after its 7 years of successful war profiteering, skimming and theft.

By Ryan Jones

 

 

In 2006 legislative elections, the Palestinian street overwhelmingly voted Hamas to counter rampant financial corruption in the Palestinian Authority. Now, after years of war-profiteering, it seems Hamas itself has become the premier Palestinian millionaires’ club.

Very soon after seizing control of the Gaza Strip in 2007, Hamas and its allies began escalating rocket fire against the Jewish state. Given the severity of the Israeli reprisals, that wouldn’t seem very good for business.

Hamas Offers Israel a 10-Year Truce, Take it….or else!

Apparently feeling Hamas won this war against Israel, they demand an end to Jerusalem’s and Cairo’s blockade on Gaza, that Hamas prisoners be released and someone builds them a new airport.

By Israel Today Staff

 

Hamas officials on Wednesday officially rejected an Egyptian proposal to bring an end to the current Gaza war, but did reportedly offer their own ceasefire agreement.

The Egyptian proposal, which Israel accepted and briefly implemented unilaterally on Tuesday, called for an immediate cessation of hostilities on both sides, followed by negotiations in Cairo to hammer out the terms of a lasting truce.

But Hamas appears to feel it’s holding better cards than that, and, according to Palestinian sources cited by local media, has presented a 10-year truce in return for far-reaching Israeli concessions.
