DISINFO: Hamas uses US weapons transferred by Ukrainian Nazi regime and Taliban

SUMMARY

Weapons transferred to the Ukrainian neo-Nazi regime are actively used in Israel. Like the weapons left behind by the Americans after their flight from Afghanistan, they will be used uncontrollably in all the hot spots. It will only get worse. Expect missiles, tanks and soon planes from Kyiv on the black market.

RESPONSE

Disinformation campaign against arm deliveries to Ukraine using the violent attacks of Hamas against Israel.

This disinfo campaign seeks to exploit public criticism of Hamas. but the purpose is to undermine Western public support to arms deliveries to Ukraine by suggesting or implying that there should exist a large-scale arms flow or even EU/US policy to support the Palestinian organisation Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by the EU and US. Rather, it seems that Hamas receives help with arms supply and production from Iran.

There is no evidence to suggest that weapons on a larger scale supplied by NATO allies to Ukraine for self-defense, have been diverted to Hamas. Pro-Kremlin outlets have repeatedly made similar accusations in the past, like ISIS should be supplied, again without any credible evidence.

There are special programmes put in place to Counter Illicit Diversion of Certain Advanced Conventional Weapons in Eastern Europe.

According to Mythdetector:

The claims voiced in videos and posts that are actively circulated by Russian, pro-Russian, and anti-Western accounts are without evidence. No information about the confession of a member of Hezbollah about negotiations with Ukraine can be found in open sources. In the past, Russian propaganda has repeatedly voiced accusations that the weapons given to Ukraine by the West end up on the black market, which was aimed at reducing the aid received from the West. However, so far, as of 10 October 2023, there is no evidence to support such allegations.
