Who do you think funds and trains Hamas ?

Hamas
Hamas is a militant and political organization currently in power in the Gaza Strip. According to Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian National Authority, "Hamas is funded by Iran. It claims it is financed by donations, but the donations are nothing like what it receives from Iran.[3][4] Iran also supplies Hamas with military weaponry.[5] Technologies provided include Fajr-5, M-75, and M-302 rockets, as well as drones.[6]
Actually Iran cut it's funding substantially three years ago. It's mainly the smaller Arab states these days.
 

Er...

Your source said:
Abdul Rahim Hamad, a converted Shiite who lives in Jabalia refugee camp, told AFP that he converted to the Shiite doctrine five years ago. He said that the increase in the number of Shiites in Gaza was “due to the influence of Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah in the region.

“We are now hundreds in Gaza.”

So they barely outnumber the remaining Gazan Christians.
 
Blockade of Gaza
270,000 refugees
1,735 Palestinians dead
6,500+ injured
Power Station bombed (last in Gaza)
2 Water Plants bombed (2/3 without clean water)
138 schools bombed
17 hospitals attacked (10 closed down)
36 ambulances attacked
37 Mosques completely destroyed
81 Mosques badly damaged
1 university bombed
TV station bombed

Incremental genocide.
Barking_Mad, is there a source for that?
 
I think Qatar is the only financially active supporter of Hamas at the moment. And that's not out of love, that's just to spite the Saudis (Saudi Arabia and Qatar hate each other). Iran may have been more supportive if it were not fighting several proxy wars simultaneously.
 

Its a CIA source but,
Read your links before posting.
"It was clear this financial crisis did not affect very much the military wing of Hamas and the group may regain some of its financial power because of the current war," said Adnan Abu Amer, who teaches at Gaza's Ummah University.

"The strong fight Hamas's armed wing is putting up against Israel may pump fresh blood into some of the relations between Hamas and regional powers, especially Iran," he ad
 
If Israel has nukes pointing at it, I can assure you it will think twice before attacking Shias in Palestine. Public opinion in Israel will force it to go down the settlement route.

Given the reported 'public opinion' in Israel at the moment re; the destruction of Gaza, is it really unbelievable to consider that they wouldn't deliver a limited nuclear strike at any Arab nation who could tip the balance of power in the region?
 
2013 link, Iran still funds the military wing.
did I ever say 'stopped'? No, the word was reduced. That $20mill is down from double that earlier, and was the figure about to be cut again. They still give money, but not as much as they used to, or as other places.

You are now spinning. Since 2013 the political rift has been resolved, the military funding never stopped as claimed.
 
Isis is the bastard child of Saudi Arabia, the zionist entity's new best friend. I guarantee that the zionist entity is getting daily briefings about Isis from the Saudis. It wouldn't surprise me if they were involved in its creation to counter Shia influence in the region.
i'd have my doubts about that too: israel's deeds can make for an unifying factor between former double-crossers, and it is possible that reconciliation of other lesser differences would be seen ever so clearly, depending on whether the leopard wants to change it's spots, or not. of course, as the alliances tend to work, and as a show of conscience, israel situates itself by receiving fools gladly, c.u.f.i. and others, who dramatize running into each others arms on stage more frequently than what any one person can keep up with: none of which bodes well for any of those weaker hands which desire all under their banner.
 
I've gone through a lot of the names on this website and although ive got about 20% left to do - id say its very striking how many males have died compared to women. Out of the 1000 names ive checked, 880 are deceased males.

It's skewed all across the age groups, even for example ages 0-5 where from the information i have shows that 31 out of the 40 deaths were boys. It's especially true of boys/men aged 16-40 where it's roughly 90%+.

Edited to add: 0-17 years old makes up 22% of all deaths, male and female.
