Coin Collectors and Dealers, bankrolling Violence?

 

The people that recently bought the smuggled coins of the Gaza Hoard(s)... How much of your money went to Hamas and paid for some of the hardware used in the October 7th attack on Israeli civilians? Into whose pockets did that money ultimately go?  Why is none of this mentioned in the "Codes of Practice" of any of the numismatic bodies and dealers' associations?

  1. Looting Palestine is nothing new. British academia has been doing it since before the Mandate. Rather naughty of you to be so judge mental.

  2. "Dr X" "On Blogger since December 2023 Profile views - 1". In what way "this is nothing new [because it is the British]"? I don't get your point, how does that relate to what I wrote? The comments section of my blog is for commenting on the post, not simply throwing out unrelated and provocative accusations.

    This looks awfully like your other accusations "Dr X":

    Maybe instead of simply trolling and trying to provoke, you could introduce yourself (we don't like anonymous comments here) and trfy t actually ENGAGE with the topic you are commenting on.

    The Mandate of Palestine has not existed since 1948, so why use the present perfect, in what way is it the British academy that is "looting Palestine", and where is the stuff going, in your opinion, Dr X?
