Guys, stop saying this. This is not a pro-Palestine position. This is historically not true and inherently anti-Palestinian because it is based on the racist ideology that Palestinians can’t speak or organize for themselves.
If Hamas are so reprehensible and akin to ISIS, why did Israel help to create them? “Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel's creation.” - Avner Cohen, former Israeli religious affairs official.

Hamas wasn’t an israeli creation but the far right Israelis headed by Netanyahu made it more difficult for the PLO/Palestinian Authority to get funding b4 that last election in their minds the PA was a thorn in their side because of their legitimacy in the world stage

Only one answer for such people... The resistance fighters of Hamas are not from Mars, but as much Palestinian as an ordinary Palestinian They r one's, who's parents were expelled from their homes and made refugees in their own country and their home and land was confiscated

except it's literally true and likud is not exactly shy about saying it. It's not like gaza has had a say in the matter, the vast majority of the population is too young to have been alive when the last vote was taken much less been old enough to vote then.

You are such a moron.

“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” Netanyahu told his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. “This is part of our strategy"

Israel help the creation of Hamas and supported it. It's not anti-Palestinian. Palestinians can speak and organize. They have created Fatah and Hamas fighted against Fatah. youtube.com/o7grSsuFSS0?si=HLgf…
I argued EXACTLY THIS, to a "leftist" who said "Israel created Hamas anyway."
This is a dramatic oversimplification, and one that smacks of Islamophobia, othering Palestinians, and denying them agency in their own resistance. There was, especially at the beginning, a tacit promotion and covert funding of Hamas, to split the political unity of Palestine.
