Comment on Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza

  So Palestinians are Hamas?
  Why is Iran not helping Fatah?
  Their support of Hamas is on ideological grounds. Similarly to Qatar’s reason for funding Hamas. Israel is holy waqf land that belongs to Muslims and should be cleansed from Jews.
  Russia is also helping them out with weapons.

  Even when Egypt had sovereignty over Gaza they made sure to prevent Palestinians from going to Egypt.

  Tunnels from Lebanon… to Gaza…? Where’d you read that?
  Hezbollah begun bombing Israel in support of Hamas. They’re also funded by Iran (much more than Hamas though).
  Meanwhile Palestinians live in camps in Lebanon. Some of those walled and surrounded by watchtowers.
  They have less rights there than anyone else (including refugees and migrant workers), despite living there for 3 generations at this point.

  Turkey under Erdogan has been mostly hosting Hamas leaders while bombing Kurds in Syria.

  I don’t think much needs to be said about Assad.

  The only country in the area which actually helped Palestinians was Jordan. Although that also changed for a while after Black September.

  Most of UNRWA’s funding over the years has come from the EU and USA.

    There’s a certain dramatic irony in funding UNRWA, paying Israel to bomb UNRWA, and then claiming you’re the only folks providing aid to Palestinians.

      That’s crazy because I’ve heard Israelis assert the exact opposite.

      Yes, religious extremists exist also in Israel.

      I’m not the one who wrote USA is the only one providing aid.
      What you quoted is the reality. The bulk of the funding over the years has been from the USA and the EU.

    He’s really bad at sarcasm. He’s trying to point out the inconsistencies.

  Iran won’t help Palestine, but also Iran is the shadowy hand behind Hamas.

  Your point being what? That they fund Hamas so they’re helping?

  Egypt won’t help Palestine, but the CIA/MI5 need to coup the elected government every decade or three when it gets to Muslim Brotherhood-y.

  Somehow Egypt helps them by having secret govt backed coups? Instead they could have just taken in refugees but why would they do that? They’ll just have a coup instead.

  Lebanon won’t help Palestine, but Israel says there are tunnels into Gaza from Lebanon so they need to start bombing again.

  So Lebanon helps the Palestine people by building tunnels where Hamas stored weapons and hostages?

  Turkyie I recall the Turkish police raiding those same charity offices accusing them of being linked to Islamic terrorists.
