Conspiracy Theory: Israel Created Hamas | Debunked

New libel:

Before you blame Israel for Hamas’s extremist military actions and aspirations, remember it was Palestinians who voted Hamas into power in 2006. And polls show they would do so again today.

Israel had allowed some relief from Qatar as part of an unofficial, Egyptian-brokered truce with Hamas, in exchange for reduced rocket fire from the territory and the scaling back of weekly protests along the border. It has allowed Qatar to deliver millions of dollars in cash to allow Hamas to pay its civil servants and has allowed the United Nations to step up aid efforts.

Old libel :

Before you blame Israel for Hamas’s psychotic military actions and aspirations, remember it was Palestinians who voted Hamas into power in 2006. And polls should they would do so again today.

Before they changed their name to Hamas in 1987 and started acquiring arms it was a religious welfare organisation , which Israel did not shut down, but apparently financially helped.
Israel supporting that welfare organization with the explicit goal of creating a militarized group, that would counter the PLO, has not been proven.

You can not shift the blame for the existence of this brutal group from the Palestinians to Israel.

According to Yitzhak Segev former Governor of Gaza in 1979, the head of Hamas Sheikh Yassin and his charity were “100% peaceful” towards Israel during this time, and Segev and other Israeli officials feared being viewed as an enemy of Islam. Segev maintained regular contact with Yassin, met with him around a dozen times, and arranged for Yassin to be taken to Israel for hospital treatment.

Former military intelligence officer Shalom Harari said the warnings spoken about in this video by Avner Cohen were ignored out of neglect, not a desire to fortify the Islamists: “Israel never financed Hamas. Israel never armed Hamas.”
