    It is pure fantasy; it’ll never happen, and I agree with you that Hamas is a deeply corrupt terrorist organization which wouldn’t do good things with 15 billion dollars. They also, incidentally, get some funding from the Israeli government, because the Israeli government likes having a wild and violent adversary that will do bad things which will give them justification for the horrifying things they were planning on doing anyway to the Palestinians.

    I don’t think it’s strange though. It is a natural reaction to seeing someone get the shit kicked out of them for years and years and the satisfaction of imagining them suddenly being on equal footing with their bully and the bully’s shock and alarm at being subjected to a fair fight. Is that strange? To me it’s not strange.
