    Their leadership are old rich men living in comfort abroad.

    Uh… No. Their leadership has two sides: Leaders in Gaza who actually manage the organization and command the fighting, and leaders abroad who get funding and negotiate with Israel and other countries. What do you expect? For their Gaza leadership to just ride an airplane from Gaza airport and attend diplomatic meetings? Because Israel blew that up 22 years ago. Point is: To function as a resistance organization Hamas needs some of its leadership to live abroad out of Israel’s reach.

    Nobody despises Palestinians more than other Arabs.

    I hear this a lot but nobody really justifies it. As an Egyptian at least according to my experiences it’s very incorrect.
