I support the idea of the use of Monero as digital cash. So obviously I’m against the attempt to ban Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
English isn’t my native language, but I find that your description of the Israel-Hamas situation is misleading. In the same article that you cite, it clearly says that Hamas received money from the Qatari government, that’s where the suitcases full of cash came from. It was not Israeli money nor US tax payers’ money. The ones funding terror are Qatar and Iran.
I’m glad you’ve edited you’re blog post so now the country of Qatar is mentioned, which was not the case before. At least there’s some progress here.
But I believe that your description of the situation is currently still misleading, especially the title “Israel funded Hamas”. Again, it might just be a language issue, but It seems like your claim is that Israel took money from its own budget, and gave it to Hamas (directly or indirectly). If that’s actually you’re claim, there’s no source you’ve cited that actually says that. Is that your claim? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
It’s hard for me to tell if you’ve actually addressed the point I was making, because all you did is adding quotations. So I don’t know if you’ve accepted my correction that it was not Israeli money nor US tax payers’ money, but in fact was Qatari money, just as your sources say.
So to be clear, I’m not arguing about the fact that Netanyahu’s strategy was to allow Qatari money to be handed to Hamas in Gaza, for the purpose of preventing peace talks with Fatah’s Palestinian Authority. That is obviously true.
