Given that the Israeli government originally funded Hamas you have to wonder if the plan was to get Hamas to attack them in an evil, unforgivable way. This justifies a massive retaliation of force to literally wipe Palestine off the map. But I’m probably just an anti-Semite (I’m not).
You just sound like one.

THE MYTH THAT ISRAEL/NETANYAHU CREATED/FUNDED HAMAS
Daniel Greenfield October 21, 2023
Since these false claims that Israel created Hamas or that Netanyahu supported Hamas are circulating across social media, let’s address them.
Hamas is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization founded in Egypt in the 1920s, before the rebirth of the State of Israel, but which now has a presence in Israel and in much of the world. In its early days it coordinated with the Nazis and received support from Nazi Germany.
The Gaza Strip used to be ruled by Egypt which helps explain the strength of Hamas in the area.
The Muslim Brotherhood operates in the United States and Europe under different names and front groups, such as CAIR. It also has terrorist organizations including arguably Al Qaeda, whose leaders have mostly been MB members, and which after Bin Laden was run by members of an Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood splinter group.
The Muslim Brotherhood operates under various identities inside Israel. There are two branches of the Islamic Movement, one of which has seats in the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. Hamas initially resembled them, focusing on religion, social work and non-violent politics, before it gained strength and revealed its real true agenda.
This is how the Muslim Brotherhood tends to operate. It pretends to be political and non-violent until it can seize power.
The Israelis, like the Americans and Europeans, were initially fooled by Hamas and viewed it as western governments tend to see Muslim Brotherhood organizations in their own countries as religious and political, but not terrorist.
That obviously changed.
When the Bush administration pushed elections in the Palestinian Authority as part of its democracy agenda, Hamas easily won them. The Palestinian Authority then ended any future elections to avoid losing them to Hamas.
