Hamas Grantwriter Can’t Believe He Needs To Submit ANOTHER Proposal To EU For Rebuilding Attack Tunnels

“I can see it now: ‘Add ten percent overhead and administrative expenses and have that proposal on my desk by Friday.'”

Gaza City, November 23 – Following the overnight destruction by the IDF of multiple terrorist infrastructure facilities, an administrative functionary at the movement’s headquarters in this Mediterranean coastal territory voiced his exasperation this morning that his superiors will now assign him yet again the task of drafting a set of documents aimed at convincing Belgian and Dutch governments, among others, to part with more Euros to rebuild the attack tunnels, training facilities, arms depots, and other sites demolished in the retaliatory strikes after a Gaza-launched rocket targeted the Israeli city of Ashkelon Saturday night.

Bassem Muhammad, 22, confessed his frustrated anticipation at the grant proposal assignment he expects in the next few days; the bilingual office worker at one of the many Hamas offices in this teeming city often puts his language and composition skills to work for his employer, in this case to detail how the Islamic Resistance Movement has used and will use European funding to continue attacking Israeli civilians, with such funding taking place behind the thin veneer of humanitarian assistance to the beleaguered territory of Gaza.

“I can see it coming,” grumbled Muhammad. “My boss will hand me a list of the sites Israel blew up the other night and say, ‘Here. These are the things we need rebuilt. This is how much it’ll cost to bring them back on line. Add ten percent overhead and administrative expenses and have that proposal on my desk by Friday.”

“It’s the same each time around,” groused the grant writer. “I have to find new and different ways of saying the same thing again and again. How many possible variations can there be to descriptions of terrorist activities as worthy of European humanitarian underwriting? I’ll tell you how many: two, if you’re feeling generous. But this is like the eight time in the last two years I’ve had to write the same proposal but make it look different and fresh.”

Funding reports, the writer’s other principal function, provide little escape from the phenomenon. “It’s my job to make it look and sound like our donors’ money is contributing to something measurable, something tangible, and preferably something important,” he explained. “It’s hard to do that when every time our enlightened leadership decides to flex its muscles, the infrastructure that we built by misappropriating humanitarian aid funds with a wink and a nod toward the funders goes boom, and we have to start all over again. Am I supposed to include a photo of a collapsed attack tunnel in my next report? A photo of a crater where a rocket stockpile used to be?”

He consoled himself with the observation that the Europeans providing the funding appeared not to care hw far their Euros go, as long as they went toward attacking or demonizing the Jewish State.
