EU Spent $100M On Pipelines That Hamas Turned Into Rockets.
National Pulse ^ | 11 October 2023 | JAKE WELCH

The European Union (EU) spent $100 million of taxpayer funds on building over 30 miles of water pipelines for Palestinians in Gaza, despite Hamas having bragged about their ability to turn the piping materials into makeshift rockets online. The EU participated in a number of initiatives between 2015 and 2022 to ensure Palestinians have fresh water, including working alongside UNICEF to install an 11-mile pipeline to Khan Yunus and Raha in southern Gaza. Footage emerged, in 2021, of Hamas fighters digging up the pipes and fashioning them into rockets to launch over the border into Israel. Despite this, the EU bankrolled another 10 miles of pipelines in 2022. The main missile used by Hamas – an internationally recognized “terrorist organization” – is the Qassam rocket, which is assembled using industrial piping along with chemicals and explosives. “There must be prudent security assessments before giving taxpayers’ money to Palestinian organizations for infrastructure that can be utilized for military ends by Hamas terrorists,” argued Frank Furedi, executive director of the MCC Brussels think tank. “Those running EU diplomacy are naive,” he added.

They aren’t naïve.

They are evil.

And the GAZA CIVILIANS were more than happy to be paid to do the manual work of digging up the pipeline and converting the pipes into missle launchers.

Yup, the ‘dindu nuttin’ GAZA CIVILIANS are to be comforted as missles come back at them.

Sounds just like something the EU would do.

And then brag about it

“”turn the piping materials into makeshift rockets””

I was so happy when I first read that Israel had finally cut off all Gaza assistance. For many years Israel delivered, on a daily basis, tons of materials (water food, even concrete for housing). During smaller skirmishes, Israel continued the aid. Hamas would use the concrete to fortify their attack tunnels.

Now, Israel has ceased all Gaza aid. There are several Hamas billionaires, and many millionaires. They let their own people live in squalor, while they collect donations around the world.

Thanks Badger, I guess the GloboHomoPedo CIA missed all that work that was so thoughtfully video recorded for them.

Would plastic water pipes work as rockets?

No doubt the seller gave the bureaucrat who approved the sale a nice fat kickback.

Welfare, whether local, national or international, always fails in one way or another. Think about the consequences in this case. EU welfare gave Hamas the means to attack and kill innocent Israeli civilians. It doesn’t stop there. There will be many more terrorists and residents in Gaza killed.

By the way, the U.S. gives aid to this shithole too. We are just as culpable. It is sickening.

Welfare is always contrary to peace. It begins with the forcible confiscation of hardworking people’s money and giving that money to an undeserving people that could simply emulate the behavior of the successful to overcome their deficiencies. Welfare creates dependency, crime and in this case terrorism.

Remember when the Europeans and American left and Valerie Plame, etc., were claiming those high tolerance pipes being smuggled into Iraq absolutely couldn’t be for for making centrifuges?

Well then, I guess the Gazans will have to go old school for their water. Neighborhood wells and buckets. They obviously cannot be trusted with modern or even ancient Roman technology. Or they can use the concrete for aqueducts instead of tunnels...

There are many truths going to come out about who is behind all this and who the real appeasers are.
