Analysis: How Israeli-US actions kept Hamas in power
They allowed Hamas to run in the 2006 election, which it won.
A 2007 failed Israeli-CIA coup attempted to oust Hamas & install the PLO.
From 2007, Israel imposed an economic blockade on Gazans, making them dependent on Hamas for jobs.
Netanyahu had Qatar & Egypt fund Hamas to ensure political division in order to forestall a Palestinian state.

Egyptian fears now are that the #UAE is trying to carry out large-scale plans to blow up the Gaza Strip from within by stimulating protests against Hamas and creating confrontations between the people and the resistance. It even amounted to Emirati funding through Israel for any Gazan who wants to demonstrate against Hamas.”
...Surrender would not prevent mass displacement, but would accelerate it. The collapse of #Gaza would send shockwaves through the occupied #WestBank, East #Jerusalem, and the 1948 territories, heralding the final act of the #Palestinian cause.
Hamas has resolved to continue the fight regardless of the cost. “If we are to be eliminated,” one source tells The Cradle, “let it be in an honorable battle, not in exile.” They cite the Sabra and Shatila refugee camp massacres as a grim lesson: once the Palestine Liberation Organization (#PLO) left Lebanon, the residents of the defenseless camps were butchered. The difference now is that #Hamas is on its own land, among its own people.

„Foreign ministers from #Qatar, #Jordan, #SaudiArabia, #Egypt and the #UnitedArabEmirates, along with the secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization's executive committee, presented the reconstruction plan to Witkoff, agreeing with the U.S. envoy to continue consultations and coordination on this plan as a basis for the reconstruction efforts in Gaza (….).‟
Most likely he spoke out because he was betrayed by Menachem Begin. It's important to realize that both used #CampDavid accords to betray Anwar Sadat over @palestine while all three of them betrayed Palestinians. That's why #PLO was excluded from multilateral talks in the beginning.
@LALegault
Pls, check out #cryptoleaks to see how 'white washing' and misleading his statements have been, after he left office.
Today in Labor History December 9, 1987: The First Intifada began in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. It was series of protests, civil disobedience and riots carried out by Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories and within the state of Israel against Israeli repression including beatings, shootings, killings, house demolitions, uprooting of trees, deportations, extended imprisonments, and detentions without trial. It lasted over 5 years, until September 1993, ultimately being suppressed by Israeli military force. Up to 200 Israelis and nearly 2,000 Palestinians died. Both the Oslo and Madrid conferences and Peace Accords stemmed from the First Intifada, as well as the PLO’s recognition of the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state. Another result of these accords was the creation of the collaborationist Palestinian Authority (PA), which currently controls the West Bank, and which had controlled the Gaza Strip, until being ousted by Hamas in the 2006 elections. The PA, which is heavily funded by the U.S. and the E.U.
You're not paying attention are you?
The #Palestinians are ALREADY integrated into #Israel. Officially, #Palestine no longer exists. Look it up on #Google maps if you can.
I'm also STILL waiting for you to explain why you lied about Medhi Hasan, & won't provide your counter evidence to counter my evidence that the #Zionists were supporting, promoting & funding a group which later became #Hamas, as a way of destabilising the #Palestinian authority & the #PLO...
Are you ever going to provide evidence as to why you don't believe Sir Gerald Kaufman, tried to LIE about Medhi Hasan, & have dismissed #Israeli, #US #Palestinian & #British politicians who ALL claim the Israeli #Zionists supported, promoted & funded a group which later became #Hamas, as a way to destabilise the Palestinian authority & the #PLO?
Or are you going to being disingenuous & keep lying out of your arse like the clown you evidently are?
2/ Now stop babbling nonsense & produce your evidence that the #Zionists in #Israel from 1969 onwards, DIDN'T encourage, support & fund what became #Hamas in 1987, as a way of destabilising the #PLO & #Palestinian authority, to weaken their claim for a two state solution to the international community...
I'm still waiting ️
1/ There was a simple premise to my claim, that as far back as 1969, #Israel were actively encouraging, supporting & funding what is today known as #Hamas, as a way of destabilising the #PLO & the #Palestinian authority.
I couldn't care less when Hamas were officially constituted, as that wasn't they day they suddenly appeared. I've presented my empirical evidence, & you disagree which is fine.
The question remains, where's your evidence to counter mine?

Today in History October 14, 1994: Three terrorists, Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres, won the Nobel Peace Prize, once again proving the Tom Lehrer quote that the prize has made political satire obsolete.

Does "#Israel" want peace? Here's a historical account of all instances where the resistance forces (#PLO, #Hamas, #Hezbollah, and others) gave up armed struggle to enter peaceful negotiations. In all cases, the response from the "Israeli" regime was to inflict terrorist activities on civilians to provoke the resistance to fight back. A must-watch for those who propose a non-violent struggle in West Asia, invoking "Gandhi" etc.
#Hezbollah didn't exist before #Israel invaded and occupied #Lebanon.
#Hamas didn't exist before Israel repressed the first Intifada.
The #PLO, Fatah and the #PFLP didn't exist before the Nakba.
Want extremism to stop? Stop putting people under extreme circumstances, like ethnic cleansing, murder and occupation.
