7 February 2023 - Peace and Security

A new report released by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) finds “reasonable grounds” exist to believe the Syrian Government was responsible for a chemical weapons attack that killed 43 civilians in the suburban town of Douma in 2018, the organization’s senior official told the Security Council on Tuesday.

Recent Washington Institute polls have tracked Gazans’ views on Hamas and the ceasefire with Israel, along with a wider regional decline in popularity for Hamas and Hezbollah.

According to the latest Washington Institute polling, conducted in July 2023, Hamas’s decision to break the ceasefire was not a popular move. While the majority of Gazans (65%) did think it likely that there would be “a large military conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza” this year, a similar percentage (62%) supported Hamas maintaining a ceasefire with Israel. Moreover, half (50%) agreed with the following proposal: “Hamas should stop calling for Israel’s destruction, and instead accept a permanent two-state solution based on the 1967 borders.” Moreover, across the region, Hamas has lost popularity over time among many Arab publics. This decline in popularity may have been one of the motivating factors behind the group’s decision to attack.

In fact, Gazan frustration with Hamas governance is clear; most Gazans expressed a preference for PA administration and security officials over Hamas—the majority of Gazans (70%) supported a proposal of the PA sending “officials and security officers to Gaza to take over the administration there, with Hamas giving up separate armed units,” including 47% who strongly agreed. Nor is this a new view—this proposal has had majority support in Gaza since first polled by The Washington Institute in 2014. ...

Hamas Unpopular in Key Arab States

In contrast, the reputation of Hamas among a number of Arab states has been on a much more significant decline—slowly in some cases and more rapidly in others. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia both stand out as countries where support for Hamas has virtually evaporated. When first polled in 2014 (and again in 2017), about half of Emirati citizens (44% and 48%, respectively) expressed positive opinions of Hamas. Yet the percentage of positive responses has dropped in every subsequent year polled. In August 2023, just 17% expressed a positive view. A similar trajectory can be seen in Saudi Arabia, where just 10% expressed a positive view in August—whereas 48% say their opinion is very negative.

In other Arab countries, including Qatar, Bahrain, and Egypt, a more modest ten-point drop in popularity is visible over a shorter period, last polled in late 2020. In this case, Jordan in particular stands out: whereas almost three quarters (72%) expressed a positive attitude toward Hamas in 2014, this percentage had dropped to 44% in November 2020. ...

Hezbollah and Iran Even More Unpopular in Arab States

As another self-styled defender of the Palestinian cause and “axis of resistance” member, Hezbollah is also deeply unpopular in these Arab countries outside of its core followers in Lebanon. This has become all the more so the case over the past several years. Those who express a positive view of the group are in the single digits in Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE as of November 2020. Outside Jordan, at least two thirds in each country say that they have a “very negative opinion” of the group. In Bahrain, positive views are only slightly higher at 17%; and even in Lebanon, approval has been steadily shrinking since 2017—from 50% to 34% when last measured in 2020. ...

Hamas' attack on Israel was highly expensive - Euronews takes a closer look at where the allegedly financially isolated terrorist group's money is coming from.
...
Could cryptocurrencies have financed the attack against Israel?
The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, has frozen hundreds of crypto accounts associated with Hamas, following requests from Israeli law enforcement on Tuesday.

The Wall Street Journal reports that digital-currency wallets connected to Hamas received about $41 million over the past two years, citing the data of Tel Aviv-based crypto analytics and software firm BitOK.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another terrorist group suspected of taking part in the attack, received $93 million in crypto during the same time, based on crypto researcher Elliptic’s data.

Hamas has endorsed crypto as a fundraising method for years, but said in April it would stop receiving fundraising via the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, citing an increase in "hostile" activity against donors.

Iran’s support and donations
While many are speculating whether or not Israel's nemesis Iran helped finance the recent attack, it’s widely agreed that Tehran funds Hamas to the tune of an estimated $100 million a year, according to the US government.

Hamas also benefits from the financial support of several countries such as Qatar and Turkey. However, these countries don't directly fund the group's military activity, so it's difficult to trace where the money ends up being used.

Palestinian expatriates and private donors in the Persian Gulf provide a lot of the movement’s funding.

Hamas also collects a so-called Zakat, an Islamic charitable donation, to carry out its missions and goals.

Furthermore, the group carries out fund-raising activities abroad, including the Gulf countries, Western Europe and North America.

Hamas-affiliated charities do not officially fund the groups’ armed wing but rather its social welfare activities.

However, some of these charities end up being labelled terrorist organizations themselves, such as the Relief Fund for the Afflicted and Needy in Ottawa, which was found to have funneled approximately $14.6 million worth of resources to various groups affiliated with Hamas between 2005 and 2009.

Funded by taxes
Every month, Hamas collects between $12-15 million from taxes it imposes on goods coming from Egypt, the most taxed products being cigarettes, fuel and even construction materials.

Furthermore, the group imposed new taxes on imported West Bank products in 2022. This has hit those already living in extreme poverty in the Gaza Strip particularly hard.

The unemployment rate in the coastal enclave has reached 45%, according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, and more than 60% of Gazans need humanitarian assistance.

As of July 2022, the food insecurity rate in Gaza topped 65%, and the poverty rate stood at 65%, as per the same report. ..

Who's paying the price?
As things stand, it's possible that the aid offered to the people living in extreme poverty in Gaza will become subject to investigation, to ensure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

The European Commission has said it will carry out an "urgent review" of the development assistance the EU has allocated in the past three years, worth €681 million, to ensure that they have not been funding Hamas.

Following criticism of an announcement that the EU would suspend all financial aid to Palestine, the Commission assured that it is committed to sending €27.9 million in humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip this year.

Gaza’s economic situation was already dire before Hamas’s 2023 assault on Israel, and the ensuing war is almost certain to exacerbate the extreme poverty of its residents.

A leaked memo from the CBC tells its journalists to avoid use of the word “terrorist” when referring to Hamas fighters in its coverage of the ongoing war in Israel and the Gaza strip. CBC tells journalists to not call Hamas 'terrorists' in leaked memo
“Do not refer to militants, soldiers, or anyone else as ‘terrorists,'” the memo states, emphasizing “do not” with bold type. “The notion of terrorism remains heavily politicized and is part of the story. Even when quoting/clipping a government or a source referring to fighters as ‘terrorists,’ we should add context to ensure the audience understands this is opinion, not fact. That includes statements from the Canadian government and Canadian politicians.”

The BBC cannot “take sides” by describing Hamas as terrorists, John Simpson has said.

The BBC’s veteran world affairs editor has said that to call the attacks on Israel “terrorism” would threaten journalistic “impartiality”.

New leak reveals OPCW’s intimidation practices against inspectors who refuted its narrative about Douma
The Hague, SANA – A new leak by an official at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has shown that the organization’s leadership has waged “a malicious and factually flawed attack” against two veteran inspectors who had proved that the official statements by the OPCW about the alleged chemical attack in Douma in 2018 are incorrect, and that the accusation of the Syrian Arab Army of being responsible for that incident came to justify the French, British, and American aggression against Syria.

The official Twitter account of the Israeli government has posted a distressing image that appears to show a baby murdered by Hamas terrorists. The Telegraph is giving readers the choice of whether they wish to view the image.

..... PHOTO OMITTED .....

The Israeli government has released a graphic photograph that appears to show the body of a baby murdered by Hamas terrorists.

It shows a blood-stained infant, still dressed in a babygrow and nappy, lying inside a small body bag. 

The baby’s face has been blurred out. Gloved hands of two Israeli forensic workers in white overalls can be seen in the background.

“This is the most difficult image we’ve ever posted. As we are writing this we are shaking,” the Israeli government’s foreign ministry said in a post on Twitter.

“We went back and forth about posting this, but we need each and every one of you to know. This happened.”

Since the surprise terror attack by Hamas on Saturday, dozens of children are known to have been killed or kidnapped. A total of at least 1,600 people have been killed in Israel so far.

It comes as Israel is pounding Gaza with missiles and troops, while tanks gather for a full ground invasion. 

The Hamas-controlled health ministry says almost 1,500 have been killed, including children.

The image of the baby was shown to Anthony Blinken, the United States secretary of state, by Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel.

Mr Blinken told a press conference: “Images are worth one thousand words, these images may be worth a million.”

Other world leaders are understood to have been shown similar images in meetings where Israel is privately sharing evidence of the most horrific aspects of Saturday’s atrocity.

Mr Blinken said of the pictures: “It’s hard to find the right words, it’s beyond what anyone would ever want to imagine, much less actually see and God forbid experience.

“A baby, and infants riddled with bullets ... Soldiers beheaded, young people burned alive in their cars. I could go on but it’s simply depravity in the worst imaginable  way, it almost defies comprehension and in the most immediate future harkens back to Isis and some of the things we saw when it was on his rampage, which thankfully was stopped.

“So I think for any human being to see this is really beyond anything we can comprehend or digest.”

Nato defence ministers were also shown “harrowing” images of bloodied babies and beheaded victims of the Hamas terror attack by their Israeli counterpart on Thursday.

Yoav Gallant showed them largely uncensored footage of the Islamist group’s massacre of civilians in a bid to galvanise the alliance’s support for Israel, Western diplomats told The Telegraph.

“I understand on a personal level, the harrowing echoes that Hamas’s massacres carry for Israeli Jews, as well as Jews everywhere,” Mr Blinken told Mr Netanyahu.

But he warned Mr Netanyahu to “take every possible precaution to avoid harming civilians” in the siege of Gaza.

Earlier reports of child casualties in the Hamas massacre had suggested babies and/or children had been beheaded by Hamas.

On Wednesday night, Joe Biden, the US president, said: “I never really thought that I would see, have confirmed, pictures of terrorists beheading children.”

But the White House later clarified that Mr Biden had not seen such evidence and was basing his remarks on Israeli media reports and comments by the Israeli government.

Israeli military officials have previously said small children were killed in the Hamas massacre, but this is the first time that photographic evidence of a baby’s murder has been published.

Israeli military officials have confirmed that babies and children were indeed murdered – and beheaded – during the Hamas massacre. They have identified the scene of that crime as Be’eri, a small kibbutz in southern Israel.

Yes ctrl c/v master... But until then wouldn't the hostages suffer too?
Do the hostages have their own separate food supply that will not be affected by the Isreal blockade?
Does Isreal think they have enough fat stores to outlast the Palestinians?

Or does Isreal consider them collateral damage and the main mission is desolation of the residential infrastructure?

The UK will send surveillance aircraft and two Royal Navy ships to the eastern Mediterranean in plans “to support Israel", No 10 says. The aircraft will begin patrols tomorrow to "track threats to regional stability such as the transfer of weapons to terrorist groups".

The package includes surveillance assets, helicopters, P8 aircraft, and a company of marines.

Rishi Sunak said the military support would "prevent further escalation".

The world seems even more split on the Isreal - Palestine/Hamas issue than Russia Ukraine.

Now these things are unpredictable AF, but look at the logic here for second. Hamas baits Isreal into an a ground invasion that will be hard AF because it's urban warfare and Isreal's army isn't substantially bigger than Hamas fighting forces. Also urban warfare offers little advantages to Isreals tanks and equipment.

The west and particularly the US left is split on this issue massively. Everyday I see so many leftist movements supporting Hamas/Palestine right now, while the right is solidly (well more solid) behind Isreal.

This also takes the public's eyes massively off Ruissan and Ukraine.

Zalenksy must be pissed of AF since public perception was his biggest ally in getting aid and funding into Ukraine.

A war in the ME is going to raise oil prices.

This paves the way for a Trump/GOP victory and reduces support of Ukraine in favor of Isreal.....ofc both can be supported but everything that goes to Isreal could have gone to Ukraine.

Russia propaganda machine is going to push so much Palestine and Hamas support right now across the internet.
