The international community, headed by the United Nations but including the United States, EU countries and many others, is busy sending very large sums of money to Palestine for humanitarian aid. How much will actually be used for that purpose? Probably much of the money will find its way to Hamas coffers, according to terrorism finance expert Rachel Ehrenfeld.
Even the Israelis have sent cash to Gaza, most recently in December 2008 under pressure from the World Bank, the IMF and Tony Blair, Mideast envoy for the Quartet, which includes the United States, the EU, the UN and Russia. In Ehrenfeld's view: "Clearly, the world community is set on seeing the terrorist group Hamas as legitimate. But demanding that Israel pay its own executioners goes way too far."
