minus-square@OrganicMustardlink3•1 year agoIt was Israel who decided that they wanted Hamas to lead palestinians rather than the Palestine Liberation Organization. https://theintercept.com/2018/02/19/hamas-israel-palestine-conflict/
minus-square@flossdailylink-2•1 year agoFor decades the PLO had shown that they were not interested in peaceful coexistence. And that would prove to be true in the following decades as well. In funding the PLO’s political opposition, Israel was attempting to charge the political landscape, and weaken the PLO. Remember the PLO might have been secular, but they were still terrorists. In that context you can see how creating the group that would someday much later evolve into hamas was a bad gamble, but hindsight is 20-20.
