    We’ve known for years that Netanyahu allowed suitcases full of money across the border into Gaza that could only be going to Hamas.

    But him going out and soliciting funding for Hamas…

    That’s a whole nother thing. I know Netanyhu was already likely on the way out before, but I can’t see how the Israelis let him stay in control after this.

    He’s literally the reason all this is happening because the only way his group maintains power is if voters are scared. So he created a reason for them to be scared.

    This was never top secret… it’s common knowledge that Israel funds hamas.

      It’s the worst kept secret in the Middle East. Or would that be Israeli nukes? Bah I can’t keep up.

    Joseph Borrell, European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, in January 20 “Israel created and “funded” Hamas to weaken the Palestinian Authority led by the Fatah party”

    No wonder, all far-right projects like his need a common enemy to unite against. If there’s none, just buy one.

    That was the time when the notion that Hamas would back away from its intent to destroy Israel as long as it accumulates governing and economic assets took root in Israel.

    Hamas has said they would be fine with a two-state solution. Its Israel which doesn’t want it to happen.

    This is damning for Israel but also for Hamas. Hamas is an Israeli plant.

      Maybe the top brass. The rest of them are just hate-filled fanatics.

        If you killed my entire family and leveled my house and then shot at me when I tried to get food from humanitarian aid then yeah, I’d be a hate filled fucking fanatic too
