We’ve known for years that Netanyahu allowed suitcases full of money across the border into Gaza that could only be going to Hamas.

But him going out and soliciting funding for Hamas…

That’s a whole nother thing. I know Netanyhu was already likely on the way out before, but I can’t see how the Israelis let him stay in control after this.

He’s literally the reason all this is happening because the only way his group maintains power is if voters are scared. So he created a reason for them to be scared.

There is not just one man behind this, despite how convenient this would be.

I agree with you, but you might find the history of Zionism interesting. Before Israel, there was a sizable portion of Zionists that didn’t want Israel to exist in the middle east. There were also Zionists that didn’t want a ‘state’. They thought it was more important to have a safe place for a sizable Jewish population. There’s probably a lot of flavors of Zionism that you’d agree with. It’s the dominant Israeli Zionism that’s horrible.

It’s a lot easier to say ‘Zionist’ though. Just thought I’d share in case you weren’t aware.

It’s not insider knowledge…

Meanwhile, Israel has allowed suitcases holding millions in Qatari cash to enter Gaza through its crossings since 2018, in order to maintain its fragile ceasefire with the Hamas rulers of the Strip.

This is damning for Israel but also for Hamas. Hamas is an Israeli plant.

That was the time when the notion that Hamas would back away from its intent to destroy Israel as long as it accumulates governing and economic assets took root in Israel.

Hamas has said they would be fine with a two-state solution. Its Israel which doesn’t want it to happen.

This was never top secret… it’s common knowledge that Israel funds hamas.

It’s the worst kept secret in the Middle East. Or would that be Israeli nukes? Bah I can’t keep up.
