The Palestinian militant group Hamas has carried out brutal acts of terror
against Israeli civilians, and israelis and american leaders are always keen to
tell us how dangerous and evil Hamas is. The inhumanity of Hamas. I have no sympathy
for Hamas. They keep shelling israelis with thousands of rockets in a motor sense
what if I told you that Israel helped create Hamas officially a Hamas which is
the acronym for an Arabic phrase meaning islamic resistance movement was founded
in 1987 at the start of the first Palestinian Intifada or uprising against
the Israeli occupation but its roots were planted much earlier the Hamas
founder chef Ahmed Yassin was a half blind disabled Palestinian cleric and
member of the Muslim Brotherhood the Brotherhood had been repressed by the
Egyptians in Gaza prior to 1967 but once the Israelis invaded and
occupied the Strip they didn't just turn a blind eye to
these Islamists they encouraged them see the Israelis especially right-wing
Israelis wanted to undermine the power of the dominant Palestinian political
force at that time the nationalist PLO at the heart of which was the secular
Fatah party of Yasser Arafat their bete noire the would say to Olivia D where
people created their guru fear D by empowering Sheikh Yassin and the Muslim
Brotherhood Israeli leaders thought they could divide and rule the occupied
Palestinians play them off against each other secular nationalists against
religious Islamists so in 1978 when the Essene wanted to officially register his
Islamic Association which was be the precursor to Hamas the Israelis
were only too keen to help Yasin built and grew a network of Islamist social
institutions across Gaza including schools and clubs and mosques and Israel
helped fund some of those projects most American politicians have no clue about
any of this although the former Republican congressman Ron Paul once
made this point on the floor of the house Hamas was encouraged and really
started by Israel because they wanted Hamas to counteract yes or air fare
Arafat himself told an Italian newspaper it quote Hamas is a creature of Israel
he even claimed that former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin admitted as
much to him calling it a fatal error now you might be wondering why should I
believe mad Ron Paul or the famously shady Yasser Arafat well you don't have
to you can believe top Israeli and US officials who've basically owned up to
all this brigadiere yet Sachs Egger for example who is the Israeli military
governor in Gaza and later told the New York Times reporter that he helped
finance the Islamic movement the Israeli government gave me a budget he said and
the military government gives to the mosques Colonel David Hakam who worked
in Gaza in the late 1980s as an Arab Affairs expert in the Israeli military
has admitted that the original sin was Israeli support for you seen in the late
70s but at the time he has argued nobody thought about the possible results well
Alvin a Cohen did Cohen was the Israeli official he was responsible for
religious affairs in Gaza for more than two decades and who now says quote Hamas
to my great regret is Israel's creation yeah Cohen's words he actually wrote an
official report to his superiors in the mid-1980s warning them not to play
divide and rule in the occupied territories and calling on Israel to
quote break up this monster before this reality jumps in our face but no one
else on the Israeli side really took the possibility of blowback seriously at
that time they never do do they Hamas has since killed far more Israeli
civilians than any secular Palestinian militant group and its leaders have been
pretty viciously anti Israeli and even anti-semitic in their rhetoric
mcanalovin banana shake machine would eventually be assassinated by an Israeli
airstrike in Gaza Shakya scene and its organization the Hamas are responsible
to the killings of more than 400 Israelis so the question shouldn't be
why now I think it should be why not before why not before well because
before Israel was actually nudging and winking at the Essene & Co building them
up as a rival to Arafat Fatah the die was cast for blowback blowback
incidentally that they decided to double down on when they assassinated yes II
would actually suppress or diminish that organization seems to be ill-judged the
inconvenient truth is that Hamas is in part a creature of Israel's own making
an enemy that Israel spent more than 20 years helping to build up and then spent
the next 20 years the past 20 years that is trying to bomb the siege and blockade
out of existence the three Gaza wars fought by Israel against Hamas since
2008 killed around 2000 Palestinian civilians and a dozen Israeli civilians
that's the real human cost of blowback David long a former Middle East expert
at the US State Department under Ronald Reagan told journalist Robert Dreyfus
I thought the Israelis were playing with fire I didn't realize they'd end up
creating a monster but I don't think you ought to mess around with potential
fanatics it's a lesson both the Israelis and the Americans never seem to learn
though and as usual innocent people in this case
Palestinians and Israelis continue to lose their lives as a result
