How Hamas Was Formed and Which Nations Support the Terror Group
How
Hamas Was Formed and Which Nations Support the Terror Group
now let's tell you about the group that started this Hamas who or what is Hamas it's a terrorist organization but it calls itself a political party it is
in fact one of the two largest political parties in Palestine now Palestine is
divided into two parts the West Bank and the Gaza Strip the West Bank is
controlled by a coalition called the pl the Palestinian Liberation
organization led by a party called fat so the PLO rules the West Bank and the
Gaza Strip is controlled by Hamas this group is ideologically and
politically
motivated it rules a population of more than 2 million Palestinians and it
calls itself the face of the Palestinian movement Hamas gets its name from an Arab
acronym harat Al Muka Al Islamia which translates to the Islamic resistance
movement now this group was founded by an man called shik Ahmed Yasin a
Palestinian scholar and cleric in 1967 there was a Six-Day War Israel won and
they took over Palestinian territory two decades later Yasin established Hamas
and Palestinians Rose against Israel's occupation the
year
was 1987 the movement was called the first Inada or the first Uprising there
was there was a series of violent protests and attacks targeting Jews in Israel one
year later Hamas published its Charter it called for the destruction of
Israel and for the establishment of an Islamic society in historic Palestine
and then Hamas continued the attacks they reportedly resorted to Suicide
bombings rocket attacks and Small Arms attacks their targets were civilians the
International Community designated Hamas as a terrorist group over the years it
tried
to morph itself into a political party but it kept a military military Wing a
political party with a military Wing that's what they call themselves and Wing to carry out attacks against Israel Hamas created a top-down
government Approach at the top was the pilot bureau a 15-member body that
operates in Exile then comes the Shura council its members are unknown but this
Council elects the polit bureau it also oversees some welfare programs in the
West Bank at Gaza and then there is the K Kamas government it implements
policies and
agendas
set by the Shura council but it's more like a puppet government so does Hamas have a representative face well it does and it's this man Smile Han he's
the designated chairman of Kamas and guess where he operates from Qatar's
Capital Doha Hamas leaders have made qat their workplace because they had a
falling out with their previous hosts that's Syria which brings us to another
question who supports and funds Hamas on the geopolitical level where do they
get their money and weapons from Qatar is
clearly
an outright supporter apart from hosting the leaders of Hamas Qatar sends
millions of dollars to the terror group in 2021 the Kari government announced
Aid worth $360 million for Hamas that's $360 million Hamas has never given
accountability for where that money go next in line is turkey their
president Erdogan is a stalwart supporter of this Terror organization Hamas
even has offices in Istanbul in the month of July Erdogan hosted the chief of
Hamas is Hana in Ankara Erdogan openly supports the
Palestinian
cause and Turkey have repeatedly sent funds to Hamas and even now after today's
attacks Erdogan does not condemn them for what they've done listen to this as
Turkey in the light of the events that have occurred in Israel this morning we
calls on all decides to act with restraint to stay away from impulsive moves
that will heighten the tension further so Erdogan is calling on all sides to
act with restraint no mention of how Hamas escalated hostilities and how they
put thousands of Civilian lives
in
danger despite Eran's open Embrace of Kamas he's not their top supporter that
title goes to Iran than provides Hamas with funds weapons and Military train
in it is common for Hamas leaders to meet Iranian leaders and clerics according
to a report by the US state department Iran provides almost $100 million every
year to Hamas what about the weapons there's no Clarity on how many they give
or what kind but here's what the Hamas Chief says Iran is their biggest donor
of weapons the Hamas leadership often
visits
Iran to plot against their common enemy Israel and they insist that this is not
a proxy war that they're not fighting on behalf of Iran but they haven't found
many takers over the years American sanctions have forced Iran to cut funding
to Hamas but their relationship remains intact so for Iran Hamas is an ally for
Israel it's a terror group but how do the people of Palestine see Hamas a poll
was held in the month of June by the Palestinian Center for policy research and
they revealed some
shocking
numbers only 31% of the people in Palestine say that Hamas should represent
them a whopping 73% of Palestinians believe that they should not Hamas should not
represent them 73% say there's widespread corruption in Gaza in
institutions run by Hamas the pole also asked Palestinians another question who
would they vote for if elections were to be held today 56% pick the current
Hamas Chief simile Han and that's a clear majority 56% so what does that mean
it means that the people of Gaza do not trust the governing
ability
of Hamas but Hania continues to be a popular figure ever since Israel withdrew
from Gaza in 2005 Hamas has taken up the role of the de facto Authority here
over the years they've purged political opposition the Gaza Strip has remained
under their strict control Hamas has maintained its popularity with social
service and the call to raise militias against Israel but this time they may
have gone too far they've launched an all-out military operation against Israel
will this spell the end of Hamas
