Yes, Netanyahu & Israel helped create & fund Hamas to checkmate the Palestinian Authority, but it backfired spectacularly in that Hamas become a legit resistance movement. If is only in the West - because of internal Zionist politics - that Hamas was labeled a terrorist group, not in the rest of the world, especially in the Global South.
But again, there is never a reason or justification for a genocide or holocaust.. never a reason to burn little children alive in their homes.. never a justification to shoot down little kids seeking water to drink, etc etc.
What Israel is doing is horrific---it mirrors Nazi atrocities. Shameful.
And be aware, there was a huuuge anti-war protest march in Tel Aviv days ago. Props!
