  so, you think israel funding hamas is some kind of "gotcha" moment? think again. this isn't some grand revelation proving israel created its own worst enemy—this is classic realpolitik, the same kind of strategic maneuvering governments have engaged in for centuries. let's break it down.
  
  first, yes, israel allowed money to flow to hamas, but this wasn't some sinister plot to "prop up" a terrorist organization. the primary reason was to funnel funds toward infrastructure, humanitarian aid, and governance in gaza, with the hope that hamas would either become too corrupt to effectively wage war or too bogged down in the responsibilities of governance to focus on attacking israel. this is a common strategy used worldwide: keep your enemies distracted or incentivized to maintain stability rather than aggression.
  
  second, the idea was simple—money often pacifies. by allowing funding to reach hamas for civil services, the goal was to prevent them from focusing entirely on militant operations. it's the same reason nations fund rival factions in proxy wars, support opposition parties in foreign countries, or negotiate with insurgents using economic leverage. history is filled with examples of governments using money to manipulate adversaries into a more manageable state.
  
  third, this strategy has been used everywhere. the united states funded groups in afghanistan during the soviet war, sometimes even working with groups that later turned against them. during the cold war, both the u.s. and soviet union backed different factions in conflicts to maintain influence. this isn't a sign of stupidity or hypocrisy—it's the messy reality of global strategy. you don’t just defeat an enemy militarily; you manipulate them economically and politically.
  
  fourth, critics act as if this funding automatically equates to full israeli control over hamas, but that’s ridiculous. nations often miscalculate how their money will be used, and corruption within hamas meant plenty of these funds were siphoned off. but that doesn’t mean the policy itself was inherently flawed. in fact, the fact that hamas remained stuck running a government—dealing with protests, strikes, and economic woes—actually reduced their ability to operate purely as a terrorist group at times.
  
  finally, let’s not pretend hamas’s radical ideology was "created" by israel. hamas was born out of the muslim brotherhood and existed independently as an extremist group. funding them in controlled ways was a gamble, but it was based on the reality that sometimes, keeping your enemies engaged in bureaucracy weakens their ability to fight.
  
  so no, israel allowing money to flow to hamas for infrastructure or governance doesn't prove some grand conspiracy. it proves that governments use money as a tool of control all the time, and expecting every strategy to work perfectly is naive.
