Israel did not create Hamas. This a bs assertion. Israel created free elections from the PA and the Gazans chose to build Hamas. Big difference. I think most Israelis were surprised how hated they were by the Gazans since they employed so many. As a neighbor told me once, never trust an Arab.

I simply do not have evidence to prove or disprove.

It took a while for the truth to come out that Obunghole was behind creating Isis, so... we'll see.

Regarding the election in Gaza Israel did everything in its power to try to convince the US administration and the EU that the elections to the PA should not cover Gaza. However, GW Bush and Condolezza Rice and the EU knew best, and forced the Israelis to accept voting also in Gaza. Of course the Israelis knew what was going to happen. Hamas won to the consternation of the do-gooders in the Western foreign offices. Not very long after Hamas threw the rest of PLO/PA out of Gaza in a bloody internecine fight.
