Iran Pledges Financial Aid to Hamas-Led Palestinians (NYT, 23 Feb 06, by STEVEN ERLANGER)
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, who has called for Israel to be wiped off the map, hinted Monday after meeting Mr. Meshal that Iran would provide overt funding. "Since the divine treasures are infinite, you should not be concerned about economic issues," he told Mr. Meshal, the IRNA news agency reported.

Please. The biggest funder of the Palestinians is the US. Hamas was formerly funded in the 70s and 80s by the Israelis to create a thorn in Arafat's right. Blowback, big time.

I don't deny it, but, speaking as an american, I ask myself, "Would I like to see nukin-Jewhating Iran beefing up Hamas?" No.
