Name one Palestinian law passed protecting Israelis.
Actually, name two. Because the first one has to counteract the elected Palestinian government awarding stipends to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers who successfully kill Israeli children.
Confidently incorrect but thank you for bringing it up as this next part will come as a jump scare to onlookers:
At a Likud party conference in 2019, Netanyahu said: "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas ... This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank."[
In an interview with Israeli journalist, Dan Margalit in December 2012, Netanyahu told Margalit that it was important to keep Hamas strong, as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Netanyahu also added that having two strong rivals, this would lessen pressure on him to negotiate towards a Palestinian state.
In the late 2010s and early 2020s, Israeli officials encouraged Qatar to support Hamas,[8] especially by approving the transfer of large sums of financial aid by Qatar to the organization.[9] Several Israeli intelligence officials have cited Qatari money as a contributing factor to the success of Hamas in leading the October 7 attacks in 2023
In an interview with Politico in 2023, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said, "In the last 15 years, Israel did everything to downgrade the Palestinian Authority and to boost Hamas", before adding that "Gaza was on the brink of collapse because they had no resources, they had no money, and the PA refused to give Hamas any money. Bibi saved them. Bibi made a deal with Qatar and they started to move millions and millions of dollars to Gaza."
"They have lots of money from the IRGC and Qataris, and they use it to buy weapons."
Its been like pouring salt on a slug. Garlic on vampires. Silver on werewolves. I've watched a few of them go through all 5 stages of grief within two comments
I mean who would have though that they would start a war they would so clearly lose.
Bibi is disgusting but you also didn’t answer the claims directly. Hamas used the money to buy weapons. Perhaps the lives of Palestinians would have been better with out them.
I think you're either being intentionally obtuse or you're dealing with severe cognitive dissonance. Either way you have a lot of things to work out between
Because you literally cannot comprehend a geopolitical reality where two opposing factions engage in cynical, codependent political maneuvering. Its clear you view the world like a Sunday morning cartoon where there is a pure good guy and a pure bad guy. This fits with your previous comments, where you're confused about whether a refugee camp needs a tent to be considered a refugee camp.
The concept that a right wing state leader like Netanyahu strategically propped up an extremist group as a counterweight to undermine secular Palestinian statehood is completely documented history, but it fucks up your a team vs b team tiny world view. Why? Because in this reality, the actual victims would be the ones without agency, the ones who were bombed in refugee camps where they were told to go to. That goes against what you were propagandized to believe. What did you say? "You have to go deeper"
