European Union is continuing aid to Palestinians amid growing fears over how it is being used

The European Union helped to build more than 30 miles of water pipelines for Palestinians despite Hamas terrorists boasting of their ability to forge an arsenal of home-made rockets from pipes.

Brussels has poured almost €100 million into pipeline projects in territories controlled by the Islamist group over the last decade, a Telegraph analysis of the bloc’s foreign aid found.

The revelation comes amid a mounting international row over future handouts to Gaza amid fears humanitarian donations could fall into the hands of Hamas.

      If the pipeline is being used to make rockets, they’re not being used to provide water.

    isn’t it kind of ridiculous to want to make missiles out of pipe that people are trying to give you to provide essential things like water? how fucked up of a person do you have to be to be like oh look at this pipe I can make missiles out of it instead of getting clean water.

        Their government actively undermined peace, they are not innocent. Both sides want an enemy and that’s why the conflict is ongoing

          Oh yes, Israel just put the temptation to dig up irrigation, sewage and water lines to make homemade rocket systems because they, checked notes didn’t spontaneously die like we’ve been demanding them too.
