How Hamas Leaders Fool Palestinians

"Frustrated Palestinian youths are committing suicide because of poverty, while the sons of the leaders are holding birthday parties!" — Hussein Qatoush, on Facebook.
The problem... is when your father is a senior terrorist leader who devotes himself to inciting against Israel and Jews and encouraging other young Palestinians to sacrifice their lives in the war against Israel. Hamad, like the rest of the Hamas leaders, would never send his own son to attack soldiers at the border with Israel.
It is time for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to revolt against the leaders who are keeping them chained in poverty and sending them to their deaths.
It is also time for the international community to wake up to the fact that it is wealthy Hamas leaders, and not Israel, who are responsible for the humanitarian and economic disaster that is known as the Gaza Strip.

In recent years, reports have surfaced regarding the wealth and luxurious lives of Hamas leaders, such as Ismail Haniyeh (pictured), whose capital is estimated at $4 million.

The leaders of Hamas, the Palestinian terror group ruling the Gaza Strip since 2007, seem to have hearts of stone regarding the suffering of the people living under their regime.

These leaders have no problem sending Palestinians to risk their lives near the border with Israel, while they and their families enjoy a comfortable life. More than 250 Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured in clashes with the Israel Defense Forces since the beginning of the Hamas-sponsored weekly protests near the Gaza-Israel border in March 2018.

UK: Brexiteers vs. Remainers, Gambling at The Last Chance Saloon

by Andrew Ash • September 25, 2019 at 4:00 am

The [British Remainers] opposition camp, having already succeeded in obstructing Britain's exit from the European Union for three years, have now won themselves extra time in which to block the path of democracy.
Anything and everything is apparently in the cards for the obstructionists, whose true agenda appears to be not to work out a Brexit deal at all -- but to ignore the referendum result, and for the UK to remain in the untransparent, unaccountable and un-unelectable EU.

The latest twist in the UK's ongoing battle to leave the European Union has -- unsurprisingly -- reached yet another impasse. The supreme court has ruled that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's suspending of Parliament was unlawful because it "had the effect of frustrating parliament." He was also accused of giving unlawful advice to the Queen in asking her for permission.

As is routine for a newly appointed PM, Johnson suspended Parliament in order to announce his domestic agenda with a Queen's Speech. Furious Remainers claim that he shut it down to prevent Parliamentary scrutiny of his plans to leave Europe -- with or without a deal. The suspension, which infuriated his foes, was the latest move in an ongoing battle to deliver Brexit -- in spite of the opposition's determined refusal to accept the will of the people.
