Hamas 'infiltrated int'l Gazan aid group,' stole tens of millions of dollars

[NO1]

Hamas infiltrated a large international aid organization operating in Gaza and redirected tens of millions of dollars - 60 percent - of the organization's budget to its military wing, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced on Thursday, following an investigation that lasted almost two months.

The World Vision organization, which operates in 100 countries and employs 46,000 people, fell victim to a complex, pre-planned Hamas takeover scheme, a senior Shin Bet source said, adding that Hamas's military wing stole 7.2 million dollars a year from the budget, aimed at food, humanitarian assistance, and aid programs for disabled children, and channeling the funds to weapons acquisitions, tunnel building, and other preparations for war with Israel.

Israel is well aware of the problems and contradictions associated with giving aid and allowing it to enter the Gaza strip. The last dominant philosophy in the Israeli government I was familiar with is that it's good to allow aid to flow in because a people with a strong economy tend to be less pissed off than a people with an imploded one. There's a simple logic to that which is mostly backed up (though with certain obvious exceptions). The problem is that any such benefits will never be realized, because such assistance would have to be multigenerational in order for any goodwill to Israel (or at least lack of outright hostility) to materialize. And of course once Hamas uses the assistance to arm itself and attack Israel, Israel will naturally fight back and the tiniest sub-atomic fraction of goodwill it might have created is erased overnight. Israel is locked into its current situation for what is essentially an infinite period of time.
