CLAIM: Hamas wants Gazans to suffer, because this generates worldwide sympathy.
RATING:
Unknown
Certainly, suffering begets sympathy. But it’s hard to believe that Hamas deliberately wants to maximize the suffering of Gazans. A large part of Hamas’s mandate has been to run schools, hospitals, and welfare programs, long before Hamas became a political entity and won the 2006 elections. These are things that most people would see as alleviating suffering. If they thought maximizing suffering was the ultimate goal, they would have shut down their hospitals and other social services a long time ago.
One reply on “Israel-Palestine Mega Fact Check!”
Keep trying to invent history. The palis didn’t exist until the mid 1960s.
One other fun fact – every group, every political organization, and every government that has ever tried to destroy the Jews has been destroyed. Fun fact #2 Israel has never been stronger.
