Oligarchies require a constant pipeline of conflicts, failed states, and terrorists to distract the commoners while they’re being robbed.
The history of US politics and “intelligence” agencies is no different. They get political points for fighting some “other”, the energy/resource contracts for coup-ing some gov, then get the military contracts of the replacement gov to fight the insurgents/revolutionaries/terrorists they created. It’s win win!
I’m not a supporter of Israel but I keep seeing this claim. It seems disingenuous, though: is Israel supposed to avoid sending any aid into Gaza at all? If you want to send humanitarian aid, you’re always inadvertently helping the government of a place. Saying Israel funded Hamas suggests that Israel literally cuts checks to Hamas, the organization, which is misleading.
Of course, by this point any aid Israel has sent has been pretty well morally out balanced by their absolutely bloodthirsty attacks on Palestinian civilians.
Meanwhile they keep supporting Netanyahu, an actual funder of Hamas.

You should read this piece.
Netanyahu appears to be propping up Hamas so that the Palestinians will all be considered extremists represented by terrorists.
Thanks for the info!
