Las Vegas Sands owner Dr. Miriam Adelson says Hamas supporters are 'dead to us'
Las Vegas Sands majority owner Dr. Miriam Adelson, who inherited the share after her husband's death in January 2021, says Hamas supporters are enemies of the Jewish community , should be considered "dead to us".
Adelson wrote in an op-ed published this week in Israel Hayom, a media publication she owns, that foreign Hamas fans are enemies of the Jewish state.
If you condemn Hamas, then add a "but," and then condemn Israel, you are dead to us," Adelson wrote. "If you insist that Israel has an obligation to deal with Hamas — —For Western countries fighting the Nazis, Al Qaeda or ISIS, you would never have such an idea — then you die with us. "
“If you do not recognize that Israel can end threats to its existence by fully exercising its power and eliminating the regimes of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, but fail to do so out of concern for the suffering of civilians, then you do us a disservice Just say it and die," Adelson continued.
"We Jews love life. We are tired of humbly counting the dead," she continued. The billionaire called on Jewish opponents to be "decency and fair" and to be morally and intellectually clear-eyed. Be brave. "
"We will not forgive our enemies in Gaza or elsewhere. You will not do that either. We must not forget the many who stand with us and understand that our struggle is also their struggle," she concluded.
loyal supporter of Israel
Adelson continues her late husband Sheldon Adelson’s mission to improve the state of Israel. She donated much of her inheritance, currently estimated at $32.5 billion by Forbes, to causes aimed at improving relations between the American Jewish community and lawmakers in Washington.
The Adelson family has also made significant donations to the Republican Party. Since 2011, they have donated $524 million to Republican candidates and PACs. The political campaign funds provided by the power couple to Donald Trump prompted him to agree to their request to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Adelson controls about 57% of Las Vegas Sands. The company now invests in Macau, China, where it owns and operates five integrated resort casinos. Sands also owns and operates Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, often referred to as the gold standard in the investor relations industry.
Sands previously built the Venetian Resort and Palace Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. After Adelson's death, Sands sold the properties to Vici Properties and Apollo Global Management for $6.25 billion. In 2019, Sands sold its Sands Bethlehem Resort in Pennsylvania to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians for $1.3 billion.
2024 Republican Candidates Awaiting
Adelson pledged not to participate in the Republican primary process. She said she would respect the will of Republican voters and support any candidate who becomes the party's presidential nominee.
Currently, the odds strongly point to Trump serving a third consecutive term as president. Traders at political betting exchange PredictIt give the former president a 75% chance of receiving the party ticket to face President Joe Biden or another Democratic official.
Trump, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are the three current front-runners for the 2024 Republican nomination, who held a Republican Party meeting at the Venetian in Las Vegas last month. Adelson spoke before Adelson at the Jewish Federation's annual leadership summit.
