Israeli officials are facing backlash after years of Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu quietly allowing Hamas to remain in power.
But reporting in the New York Times has revealed that Netanyahu’s government was more hands-on about helping Hamas: they helped a Qatari diplomat bring suitcases of cash into Gaza, indirectly boosting the militant organization, according to the report.
The calculus — the Times reported on Sunday, citing Israeli officials, Netanyahu’s critics, and the man’s own reported statements — was to keep Hamas strong enough to counteract the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, allowing Netanyahu to avoid a two-state peace solution and keep both sides weak.
Israeli security officials got it wrong; they didn’t think Hamas was capable, or even interested, in launching a large attack against the Jewish state.
You are extremely delusional to believe that the idf is equivalent to alex jones in terms of veracity. And just to make it clear, the idf is also more honest than hamas
Edit: also nice anti semitism by equating an israeli defense force to one of the most conspiracy addled anti semitic people out of there
I trust the IDF about as far as I can throw Alex Jones, so 🤷♂️
The idf is the most reliable source of information there. You might as well not believe or comment on the conflict at all if you don’t trust any IDF correspondence
Plenty of the worlds media has cast doubt on IDF statements. I trust them more than the IDF
When the world media is citing hamas, then no.

Doesnt matter what anyone here thinks. The truth can be unpopular. Israel will continue defending itself, and yall cant do shit to stop it. Keep crying because the terrorists that you support keep losing.

I proved that hamas are terrorists that you support? Thanks I guess.
Only stupid people believe terrorists over established intelligence allies.

The CIA was toppling democratically elected governments. Hamas is a terrorist organization that hasn’t held a vote in two decades. no equivalence unless you believe all “underdogs” are equivalent.

You’re an idiot if you think that criticism of Biibi or IDF actions equates to supporting Hamas. I get that you like one side of the conflict but don’t assume that because others dislike the mass killing of civilians that means that they support terrorists.
Then I am not an idiot. Thank you.
Bibi needs criticism. Let’s not elevate Hamas as resistance fighters tho.
You are an idiot if you are denying some of the very real anti semitism coming from the left now. Jews should be allowed to be Jews and have that independent from the israeli-palestinian confilct.

I am not israeli lmao. I am not even jewish. I am actually of muslim and catholic descent. I just have a brain and recognize the obvious anti semitism from the left.
If we were criticizing only idf, then sure. Why is the left protesting jewish restaurants in philly and nyc?

Progressive leftists have some issues with antii semitism if they are protesting random jews on behalf of palestine. Immediately obvious
Care to show me where I elevated Hamas or denied anti-antisemitism from any quarter at all?
