Hamas denies receiving donations from Saudi Arabia
Hamas has denied reports disseminated by Israel and pro zionist circles that the movement receives donations and funds from Saudi Arabia.

“This is part of the over-all Zionist onslaught against Islam and Muslims. I assure you we don’t receive money from Saudi Arabia or any other country. We don’t need money from abroad. We have enough money inside Palestine,” said a high-ranking Hamas official in Ramallah...

Abu Muhammed pointed out that up to 90% of Hamas financial resources come from ordinary Muslim individuals. “You know each and every financially able Muslim is required to pay Zakat, or alms, so Muslims from all over the world pay to us to feed and take care of the orphan and the needy.”

The Hebrew Press on Tuesday quoted some Zionist sources as claiming that half of Hamas funds came from sources in Saudi Arabia, but no concrete proof was given for the allegation....

1. hamas can not be trusted to tell the truth
>feed and take care of the orphan and the needy.

Yea right. These would be the surviving family members of a hamas belt bomber? The days of hamas are numbered and it's way past time. They have finally pushed Israel into a corner and the gloves are coming off...

3. Riiiiight...
you don't take money from a fundamentalist, far-right government, Hamas. After all, it only makes perfect sense for you to do so with ease. And the Suadi regime would certainly punish you so much by denying everything!

5. I was being sarcastic...
I am pretty sure that Hamas is lying. You see, I don't always oppose the pro-Israel stance.
