    I’m curious though - you think Israel is funding and puppeting Hamas? As an excuse to roll over Gaza?

      I think? Major newspapers, including Israeli ones think. From what I’ve read in order to make harder/impossible a path towards a two state solution. Since Israel always aimed at rob all the land and keep the apartheid regime.

        Ok so Israel is behind Hamas in your eyes.

        Cool. Then what’s the simple solution to stopping Israel? Hamas surrenders. Boom, no more excuse for war.

        So show you’re serious. Call for the Israeli puppet to surrender

          The whattaboutist you’re responding to is referring to this, (archival link because paywall)

          Netanyahu let Qatari money into Gaza to prop up Hamas and divide and conquer Palestine by supporting the PA’s rival in Gaza. Evidently he didn’t think Hamas was willing or capable of what they did on Oct 7. This is one of the reasons he is so incredibly unpopular in Israel right now.

          Hamas is supported by Iran, and they have evidently been using crypto to get funds to them (archival link):

          Iran has long been Hamas’s primary benefactor, with the U.S. putting regular funding from Tehran at roughly $100 million a year. Hamas also has earned income from a global investment portfolio, raised money through charitable organizations, and skimmed off funds from official foreign aid and tax revenues in Gaza.
