Israel financed Hamas argument

Hamas has run Gaza since 2007 and ran the same scam the PA currently is, i.e. claim to be out of money and unable to pay civil servant salaries and warn of impending social collapse unless they get more money.

The ‘international community’ then, as today with the PA, would work itself into a tizzy and demand that something be done to avoid a ‘humanitarian catastrophe.’ Hence the funding via Qatar, which was supported by the US and EU.

This was always controversial in Israel but we were constantly told it was the “least worst option.” Now everyone wants to pretend it was some nefarious Netanyahu plot? This is complete nonsense.
