The site reported that Hamas has also imported millions of counterfeit United States dollars from Iran in order to get around its currency shortage.

Hamas is reportedly planning to use the fake money as valid currency within Gaza.

Gaza is facing a currency shortage because most international banks refuse to deal with the terrorist movement. Hamas receives cash from Iran.

If there ever was any question about Iranian involvement in the past and their potential for damage to the U.S. , this should settle it . No more questions needed .

True. (And, btw, they also arm Hizb'Allah in Lebanon...)

That would be the group that blew up the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon
when they were there on a peace keeping mission .

Yes-- the very same one. And they also were responsible fora terror attack-- in Argentina! (They blew up a Jewish center. Note-- this was an act of pure anti-Semitism-- this was an Argentinian center, not anything Israeli!).

While there's lots of propaganda about Gaza's border being totsally sealed, of course that's untrue-- there's actually a thriving trade between Gaza and Egypt-- lots of stuff passes through via the Rafah crossing imports:

Hamas also makes money from Rafiah by imposing a 14.5 percent tax on imports.

Some Gaza businessmen have charged the terrorist group with profiting from restrictions on Gaza trade – imposed in response to Hamas attacks – by upping taxes and using the earnings to buy Gaza property and compete with private businesses.

When your government is surviving by laundering money, passing counterfeits, exorbitant taxing, and committing acts of terrorism, one would think it's time for a change.

Except that those things are "business as usual" for Palestinian politicians.

The "common folk" suffer greatly because of this-- and I'm sure many of the ordinary Palestinians are sick sand tired of all this. But what can they do? Hamas rules by force..and brutal suppresion of those that oppose their barbaric tactics!

Perhaps because of my own Western mind-set, and having taken freedom for granted for so long, it's easy to lose sight of the effectiveness of Hamas' brutal ways. It makes me wonder just how far the Palestinians are willing to allow themselves to basically be enslaved by a terrorist group that is only using them for political reasons.

It is hard for us to understand. But don't forget-- they are brainwashed from early childhood! :-(

Here's a fascinating (albeit repulsive) video. Two 11 year old Palestinian girls explain what their goal in life is...(can you imagine many western girls of that age feeling this way?). Its pretty terrifying-- but the truth should be told!

How do we reach out to those cultures who adore martyrdom and worship death? The truth is the only hope they got; yet, appears to be in short supply in Palestine.
