Australia’s $94.5M Gift to Hamas? The Foreign Aid Scandal

Jeremy Cordeaux exposes the shocking financial ties between Australia’s government and Palestinian groups. With Australia sending $94.5 million in foreign aid to Palestine, questions arise about where the money is actually going—and whether taxpayers are unknowingly funding terrorism.

Who is Really Receiving the Money?

Foreign aid is meant to provide humanitarian relief, but some believe Hamas is siphoning these funds for its own operations.

At [32:57], Jeremy states:

“We’ve given $94.5 million to the Palestinian cause—essentially Hamas.”

Hamas, designated as a terrorist organisation by Australia, the United States, the UK, and the European Union, controls Gaza and has a history of misusing foreign aid.

“How much of that money actually reaches civilians? Where is the accountability?” Jeremy asks.

While the Australian government insists this aid is for humanitarian purposes, many argue it indirectly supports Hamas-controlled territories.

The Political Agenda Behind the Funding

While the Australian government insists this aid is for humanitarian purposes, many argue it indirectly supports Hamas-controlled territories.

At [36:42], Jeremy speculates:

“Is Labour funding this to maintain its Muslim voter base in Western Sydney?”

He points out that government officials are often hesitant to criticise Palestine, fearing political backlash.

“Is this about doing what’s right—or securing votes?” Jeremy questions.

The Risk of Taxpayer Money Being Misused

Multiple reports suggest aid funds have been diverted to fund terrorism, with Hamas using foreign money for weapons and tunnels instead of civilian needs.

Jeremy highlights past misuse of UNRWA funds, stating:

“We know Hamas has exploited these funds before. Why do we think this time is different?”

At [40:12], he adds:

“We’re sending millions while Australians struggle with cost-of-living. Where’s the outrage?”

We Deserve Transparency

Australians deserve transparency on how their tax dollars are spent. While humanitarian aid is crucial, Jeremy questions:

“Should we be funding a region controlled by a listed terrorist organisation?”
