Ask Iran and its smuggler network in Libya, for a start.

I mean more what even are the channels to bring weapons/munitions into Gaza. I’m assuming the tunnels are done, it’s overland or over water. Maybe I’m giving Israelis too much credit for having them locked down? And/or it’s just way fucking hard to keep small arms out.

this gets overlooked by the regular protesters here and on campus, but one of the conditions for stage B of the deal is to dissolve Hamas. What is happening is the opposite. Since mid December, Hamas has become stronger. Eliminated rivals. strengthened itself in terms of ammunition and communications. They have even held elections. The have consolidated power like never before, even pre-Oct massacre.

Dissolving Hamas is like trying to rid a big city of rats. They have adapted and they are embedded.

“…The comparison to Trump’s company is especially apt because the Board of Peace, as envisioned by the president, aims to raise a lot of money. If members want to stay on the board for more than three years, they have to contribute a staggering $1 billion. The Mar-a-Lago Club’s initiation fee ($1 million) is quite a bargain by comparison. Where that money will go is unclear. The charter simply says: “The Board of Peace may authorize the establishment of accounts as necessary to carry out its mission.”

Which means that, if any nations do ante up, Trump could have access to a massive slush fund independent of Congress’s power of the purse — much like the Qatar bank accounts set up for the proceeds of Venezuelan oil sales overseen by the administration. …”
