You know how you've been hearing that the world is taking a tough stand against Hamas, because of the whole "wipe out five million Jews" part of their platform? The Italian Ambassador said it, and we accused him of fibbing. The British Foreign Secretary said it, and we expressed skepticism. The US said it all the time, but actually increased aid.

The result has been that, since the Palestinians elected a government dedicated to wiping out the Jewish State, aid to them has actually increased by 10 percent:

You know, we really want to be snarky about this. But in a way, it's just too depressing: the world knows that there is a government and a population, counting millions of people locally and billions of people globally, who want to commit a second Holocaust. At best, they've paid lip service to the idea that they oppose mass genocide, and gone on funding it as enthusiastically as they can. Like, what do you say to that? "Don’t be anti-Semitic, guys, it's not nice?" It's not like they don't know what they're doing.
