    Iranians are Persians, not Arabs.

    It’s not an either-or. Arab states also fund Hamas. But its primary source of funding and (key word) direction is Iran, not any Arab state.

    But I mean, gosh, if we want to start pointing fingers at states that fund Hamas, we now have to look hard at ourselves.

    They are alway at war . They do this shit to Palestinian civilians all the time. While I don’t like innocent civilians been killed on either side it’s a strong move of retribution so glad they managed to strike back. Unfortunately the Israelis will kill 10 times the # of innocents.

    Two things.
    We must stay out of it
    And thank God it looks like the unholy potential alignment between Saudi and Israel is dead in the water.

    Hamas might also get funding from Arab states, but we all know Iran is their main source of cash.

    Stay out of it? We have already funded both sides of it.

    Oh, of course not. They just turned over the hostages in good faith.

    I see you’re going with the method of excuse, equivocate, and willfully ignore evidence instead of take accountability and correct. It’s a technique, I suppose.

    so to be clear you are happy hamas has ‘struck back ‘?

    do you believe we should stay out of Ukraine ? If not, what is your opinion of the difference ?

    do you think it is good or bad for US interests for Israel and Saudis to have formal peace agreement?

    Yes let’s not do that anymore. We give 3.8B in military aid to Israel. Needs to stop now. Also am annoyed by all those Christian charities soliciting money to feed elderly holocaust survivors in Israel. They can do that on their own as well. Not sure what we give the other side but it’s a relative pittance clear they aren’t getting military aid to defend themselves.

    Not happy per se but totally understand it. I won’t even address you bringing Ukraine into the discussion because it’s so stupid it’s making my finely tuned brain hurt.

    Lastly, it is a very bad thing for Saudis and Israel to have a peace agreement. Neither are Allie’s of the US and they Don’t share our values.

    so you don’t believe it’s good for US interests for the Saudis and Israelis to have formal peace agreement ?

    curious what time you’ve spent overseas in this part of the world ?

    You’re better than that. there are mechanisms on how that money gets dispersed. Setting aside whether or not that money can go towards nefarious purposes it’s likely given the shortness of time no money has been released and certainly not the full 6B. To the extent Iran was involved in any of this it’s been planned for months and material was scorched and positioned long ago.

    Not even sure how you can do those gymnastics. If you have a BofA account and a credit union account does it really matter which accounts you use to pay bills. Absurd to think some restrictions you put on inbound funds to credit union account has anything to do with where you spend your BofA funds and the Iranians have already publicly stated as such

    Well, that’s a relief. We can now stop payment of that money then, since the Iranians clearly acted in bad faith … as usual. Problem solved. I will keep quiet now.

    At the end of the day, it’s a fight over land, control, rights and dominance. Religion is what the powers that be use to sell the locals on supporting and engaging in the bloodshed.

    How about you? Do you think we should be funding Israel (billions annually and have been for decades)? How about Ukraine?
