No, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS, Mormon) has not funneled millions into propping up Hamas or any terrorist organization. Despite claims that the Mormon Church has donated millions of dollars to Islamist-aligned terror organizations, the truth is more complicated. The church has many humanitarian projects and charities it donates to, and some of them are in the Middle East, but they simply are not in the business of propping up governments, but rather caring for God's children. There is a scandal in this story, but it wasn't the one I expected.
