“...given Israel effectively created hamass.”
Please explain. To my knowldge it was in 1987 the creation of Hamas was by Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Hassan Yassin. 1989 Israel outlawed Hamas and imprisonsed Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Sheikh Yassin was a Palestinian politician and imam. I don’t see the Jewish connection.

At its inception, Hamas was a political organization. The Israeli’s briefly viewed it in a positive light, seeing it as a potential check on the power of the PLO. But they soon distanced themselves from the organization, when it became clear that it was morphing into the radical militant organization that we know today. C210N is either ignorant of the history or is deliberately trying to mislead people.
