For this, we can thank Barack Hussein Obama and his catastrophic Iran deal.

….take a guess where the largely bankrupt Hamas government that oppresses Gaza obtained the money to reward poor protesters and rioters so handsomely.

If you guessed the Islamic Republic of Iran, you would be correct. But even that terrorism-supporting nation isn’t exactly the most prosperous on earth, or even in the Middle Eastern region, so where did it get the money from to fund Hamas?

The answer lies with those pallets loaded with cash and gold delivered to Iran in cargo planes by the Obama administration to help secure the release of hostages and Iran’s involvement in the ridiculous nuclear deal…"



Thanks Obama. Sure am glad that man is not president anymore although he is still trying to operate underground.
If a whiff of this is true, Obama should be arrested tomorrow and put on trial.

First of all it was their money that was being returned to them as part of the deal.

Secondly, blaming Obama for how Iran spends its money is retarded.

It is well known that Palestinian terrorists' families get money if their relative was martyred. So it is definitely easy to believe that civilians in Gaza were paid to attack Israel at the Gaza-Israel border.

After Iranians took hostages during Carter's term, the 400 million dollars worth of planes the Shah had ordered and paid for were not delivered. Binding arbitration by a world court was fixing to give Iran their money back, plus interest, plus other Iranian money that had been seized by the USA. It could have been more. They wanted 10 Billion.

Some of the money had to be in cash because the Congress of the USA had sanctions against Iran. We had no banking relationship anywhere that could deliver the money.

IMO, it is instructive to study up on these controversies. Nothing is as simple or simple minded as one's opponent paints it out to be. That's the trouble with politics lately. Winning makes people as dishonest as they want us to think the other team is.

Dealing with Iran is one of the very few things that Obama did that I supported but the bold could have been addressed. IMO it's a minor point but typical of Obama, he never wanted to put out the effort.

Well, I guess that will teach them not to violate international law and take our embassy staff hostage.
Doing so might result in a 35 year delay to get your money.

Not really, <bold> NONE of them for more than about 10% +/- of what they say is a good rule of thumb.
One should take in as many of these "news" reports as possible and then average the results and figure the truth, or what's close to the truth lies somewhere in the middle...

This makes me wonder how much the Israelis were getting paid for ducking rocks. Probably not as much as getting shot.

Scumbags!
