Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip suffer from one of the highest levels of poverty and unemployment in the world. It is a human rights tragedy for the 1.8 million residents of the coastal enclave. But while international nongovernmental organizations and media outlets frequently point the finger at Israel, in reality, it is Hamas, the terrorist group which runs Gaza, which is wholly responsible.

Hamas actively steals hundreds of millions of dollars each year from its own people, and enriches its senior leadership as a result. But Hamas continues to get a free pass from much of the world, despite its open thievery.

In this episode of the Honest Report podcast, we discuss how Hamas learned the best practices of stealing from its own people, and how it continues to rake in so much money every single year as a result of its malfeasance. Its own leader, Ismail Haniyeh, is the epitome of the corruption that Hamas practices on a daily basis.
