The sickening wealth of the Hamas elite beggars belief in the context of the poverty and hopelssness for the rest of Gaza..met with complete INDIFFERENCE and BETRAYAL by the international media and political community

Proceeds directly into the pockets of Hamas just during the giddy 10-15 years of the massive tunnel trade is estimated at between $250m - $400m per year for 10 years..you do the maths

Quite apart from PA revenues from West Bank taxpayers and direct aid amounting to $2 billion per year that to all intents and purposes dissapears into thin air without any accountability or anything to benefit Gaza and ordinary Gazans - something Abbas has been trying to deal with by demanding PA representation IN RETURN for continued funding

Quite apart from the reputedly mind boggling proceeds from smuggling, mercinary activity, bribery, extortion and money laundering

A cynic might wonder IF THIS is the reason Hamas seek to perpetuate their CUSHY status quo indefinitely?

Well..maybe thats why there are MORE and MORE cynics in Gaza every day beginning to ask questions and DEMANDING ANSWERS
