israel created hamas in the first place to thwart a two-state solution and justify subsequent nakbas: > for years, the various governments led by benjamin netanyahu took an approach that divided power between the gaza strip and the west bank  bringing palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas to his knees while making moves that propped up the hamas terror group.   ears-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now -its-blown-up-in-our-faces/ > brig. gen. yitzhak segev, disclosing in 1981 that he had been given a budget for funding palestinian islamists to counter the rising power of palestinian secularists. hamas, a spin-off of the palestinian branch of the muslim brotherhood, was formally established with israels support soon after the first intifada flared in 1987 as an uprising against the israeli occupation of palestinian lands. > israels objective was twofold: to split the nationalist palestinian movement led by arafat and, more fundamentally, to thwart the implementation of the two-state solution for resolving the protracted israeli-palestinian conflict. by aiding the rise of an islamist group whose charter rejected recognizing the israeli state, israel sought to undermine the idea of a two-state solution, including curbing western support for an independent palestinian homeland.   tary/2023/11/21/world/israel-failed -policy/ some more breadcrumbs to follow:   and now, just to make things even more cartoonishly evil, israel is insisting that the west take in the radicalized refugees:   ional/4297914-israeli-lawmakers-urg e-world-leaders-to-accept-gaza-refu gees/ it doesn't get much more geopolitically fucked than that. even if you hate palestinians, you should still resent israel for trying to push the survivors onto us knowing damn well they're all now perma-jihadists.
