Instead of Investing in Health Care for Gazans, Hamas Built Rockets and Attack Tunnels
(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - Hamas leaders, who have done virtually nothing to provide basic healthcare in Gaza, have never accepted responsibility for the well-being of their people and constantly search for ways to blame Israel for the miseries of Palestinians. The Hamas leaders who are now complaining about the lack of ventilators in their hospitals are the same as those who have invested tens of millions of dollars on manufacturing and smuggling weapons, including rockets, to attack Israel. Since 2014, Hamas has invested about $120 million in digging terror tunnels. Had Hamas invested a small amount of these funds to purchase medical equipment, the situation in Gaza hospitals today would be very different. Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar told Hamas TV on April 2: "If ventilators are not brought to Gaza [by Israel], we will take them by force from Israel and stop the breathing of six million settlers." He forgot to mention that it was Israeli doctors who saved his life when he had brain surgery to remove a tumor while he was serving time in Israeli prison for murdering several Palestinians suspected of collaborating with Israel.
