The History of the Creation of Hamas and Israel's Collusion with
Hamas for Its Political Strategies and Expansion Ambitions
Israel’s political strategy of involving a Palestinian Militant group to fulfil its ambitions for being the sole dominant state and expansion of its borders began long before anyone could have imagined – in the 1970 – 1980 period, Israel established contacts with Sheik Ahamad Yasin, a Muslim Brotherhood leader in the Gaza Strip, who controlled a network of Islamic schools, mosques, and clubs, to weaken the secular nationalist Palestine Liberation Organization.[2] It continued to encourage the expansion of Yassin's network during the first year and a half of the First Intifada, as the network reorganized itself to become the present-day Hamas, an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Islamic Resistance Movement). The founder and leader of Hamas, Yasin, grew up in a refugee camp in Gaza, a handicap of quadriplegic and half blind, Sunni Muslim, and Israel was able to coax him into a concealed charity for Gazan refugees. There is no way Iran could have funded a Sunni Muslim militant group for secular reasons. Though it was reported that Israeli support for Hamas concluded in 1989, after its major attack on Israelis, only apparently- for decades, Israel has hammered Hamas in Gaza — regular airstrike campaigns, targeted assassinations, a decades-long blockade — with its efforts often backfiring by strengthening support for the group; but even more sinister is the way that Israeli authorities have, to this day, continued to enable Hamas deliberately, as its influence grew, and it eventually morphed into Hamas as we know it today.
By
this maneuvering by the Israelis, Israel has a cover to avoid negotiating with
the Palestinian Authority, as the group doesn’t represent all Palestinians.
In the late 2010s and early 2020s, Israeli officials encouraged Qatar to give aid to Hamas [8] and approved the transfer of money from Qatar to the organization.[9] Politics does not have a permanent friend or foe, but international politics does have fire beneath it always.
Later, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu justified the aid transfers as allowed for humanitarian reasons;[10] Israeli intelligence officials believe that the Qatari money contributed to the success of the October 7 attacks, and this became a convenient rhetoric for Israel internationally, particularly against neighbors and locally.
A recent
column in
Haaretz, one of Israel’s biggest newspapers, takes the prime minister to task
for his “destructive, warped political doctrine that held that strengthening
Hamas at the expense of the Palestinian Authority would be good for Israel.”
Another recent Haaretz column describes how the Netanyahu-Hamas
“alliance” and the Oct. 7 “pogrom…helps the Israeli prime minister preserve his
own rule.” The more conservative Times of Israel, too, published an op-ed after Hamas’s attacks
entitled “For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our
faces.”
Meanwhile,
as former IDF member Benzi Sanders explains, Netanyahu’s new bombing campaign
and expanding ground offensive will only
continue to strengthen and perpetuate Hamas — and stave off a just resolution
to this crisis.
Netanyahu
gloated in a 2019 Likud party meeting to his compatriots: “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.”
Hamas
has become a convenient
foe for
Israel, in contrast with the diplomatic success of the Palestinian Authority
during the 1990s. In a 2015 interview, Israel’s
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich explained
that Hamas’s militancy, and therefore its illegitimacy on the world stage, was
a boon for his government’s political strategy.
“The
Palestinian Authority is a burden, and Hamas is an asset,” Smotrich said. “It’s
a terrorist organization, no one will recognize it, no one will give it status
at the [International Criminal Court], no one will let it put forth a
resolution at the U.N. Security Council.”
Indeed,
Netanyahu has been intent on keeping the Palestinians divided under two ruling
groups: the diplomatically successful Palestinian Authority in the West Bank
and the militant Hamas in Gaza. (The Palestinian Authority, led by the vestiges
of the PLO, was created as
an interim self-governing body meant
to pave the way for an independent Palestinian state, but that has not
happened.)
Since
2009, Netanyahu’s political strategy has revolved around keeping Hamas alive
and kicking — even if it hurts his “chosen land people.” While Israel and Netanyahu give lip service on the international stage in
seeking a two-state solution, Hamas provides a convenient excuse to avoid
pursuing one. The Qatari government
let this Israeli connivance be known to the other Islamic nations through their
conventions, and that is the reason for the Islamic States to have reservations
about the Two-State solution or to reject it. All Islamic countries foresaw the
danger of Israeli ambitions and understood that the two-state solution wouldn’t
bring viable peace in the Middle East unless the impunity enjoyed by Israelis is
curbed by some means.
The
Israeli Head of Religious Affairs in Gaza, Avner Cohen, described the Israeli
action in a 2009 Wall Street Journal article called “How
Israel Helped to Spawn Hamas.”
“Hamas,
to my great regret, is Israel’s creation.”
Now
that is clear that October 7th 2023 holocaust which Israel itself allowed Hamas
to run its way of horrendous, the magnitude of which Israel prefers to call it
as holocaust within its territory without any resistance, as a
"prerequisite justification" for the elicit of the ethnic cleansing
to follow, that began within days and continues to date. All at the concurrent
commitment of those countries, who fund and empower the Israeli government with
heavily destructive weapons, including access to nuclear ammunition freely; at the
behest of those countries' current leadership's religious fanatical beliefs as
a tool for their greedy hegemonic intentions over the resources of Middle East
countries.
As
already planned, invariably all Western propaganda machines, CNN, Fox, BBC, etc,
interviewed the Palestine Leaders during that week, and all those media began
the conversation with invariably the same one question, “Do you condemn(ed) the
7th October Holocaust?" What a
coordinated effort it was! Therefore, Israel is an agent in the Middle East, to
implement the hegemonic policy of the West to the tune of religious fanaticism
in Israel. Israel's negligence towards its
people - people of the so-called chosen land, who Israel Itself allowed to be
captured by Hamas - never prioritized getting the release of those from Hamas,
why should they - when they cunningly foresaw such a release effort would
drastically hinder the rapidity of the destruction and demolition in rendering Gaza
land to be unfit for living anybody, but for Trump's Golf Course. This attitude
of Israel and its allies cannot be explained other than by a modus operandi via
the demolition of Hamas for the Ethnic Cleansing of Palestinians.
All these cascading chains of unpeaceful or rather volatile reactions are offshoots of the British Empire establishing Israel as a State for Jews, with the clear intention of future expansion, beginning with arrogantly chasing out 700,000 Palestinians in 1948, already inhabitants of a Peaceful State of Palestine since the Ottoman Empire period.
After this expulsion of 700,000 Palestinians, Zionists posed the question of why Arab Countries did not open the door for the expelled people, what an arrogant program to relieve the primitiveness, despite knowing that the City of Jerusalem is believed to be a Holy City for three different religious groups, Christians, Islamic and later for Jews who believes Judaism it is an absolute fanaticism of uncivilized. Why not make Israel live in coexistence with others? Impunity conferred on Israel has proven otherwise for 78 long years. Israel's pretentious fear since its inception does not mean its neighbours are aggressors.

Sri Lanka
Railways: SLR A Classic Example of Backward Travel and Negative Contribution
towards National Transport Demands
The above heading is not
new to Sri Lankan commuters, and the general public is well aware of Sri Lanka
Railways’ activities that negatively impact national demands; who are not aware
is the section who are supposed to harness the negatively impacting Government
Department (if not inducting SLR into an integrated National development contributor)
the governing system. They are either ignorant of the facts or ill-informed of the
current situation, worsening it into a colossal burden to the government
coffers.
Sri Lanka Railways is
burdened with one of the highest numbers of Trade Unions, with the trade unions
outnumbering the locomotives available for commuting and goods transport. Here
lies the core of the negative impact issues.
The historical Northern
Railway Commuter service, which had been said to be the highest revenue earner
for the Sri Lanka Railways, without any doubt with some profit as well, has
been virtually annihilated after suspending for the reasons such as
repairs/replacing railway tracks, these reasons becomes too flimsy due to the
prolonged time taken to complete and sabotaging
signal system, while repairing- and is clear SLR management
including the ministers in charge working for the self-interests rather than
for convenient public commuter service. Here, the suspicion arises as to
whether Sri Lanka Railways is collaborating with huge profit-seeking Private
Bus Companies, each owning more than half a dozen luxury buses, and wanted each
bus to fill their full quota of seats.
Until July 2022, when
Northern Railway operations were 1st stopped, all trains to the Northern Line
commenced from Mount Lavenia (Gal Kissa), and some trains finished the journey
at Mount Lavenia. All those trains that started and finished the journey at Mount
Lavenia (Gal Kissa) were very popular among the population living between
Moratuwa and Colombo Fort as they eased the traffic pressure travelling to
Colombo Fort, and Moratuwa did a splendid service in commutating. I reliably
understand that some trade unions strongly opposed the northern operations starting
from Mount Lavenia; this is where the insubstantial reasoning of Track Relaying
emerges, which was newly laid in on the completion of war. With that, Sri
Lanka Railways lost its revenue and contribution towards reducing the pressure
on road traffic congestions, especially in the western province.
It has also been eagerly
noted that railway schedules and timetables were prepared to unpopularize and
to push the Passengers for alternatives. One such example was before the first suspension
in July 2022 for a period spanning for months, an intercity train starting the journey
as early as 03.55 AM from Kankesanthurai (KKS), never intended for catering
the service to the peninsula people, but may be a convenient travel for commuters
beyond Kilinochchi towards south, this intercity halted its journey at Colombo
Fort another setback.
This scheduling was made to
portray that the Jaffna commuter train service is unpopular and to cater to the
other mode of transport. At present, two trail services, which were initiated
by the ill-informed newly appointed minister, operating from KKS to Colombo
Fort and from Colombo Fort to KKS, portrayed as utter failure by all standards,
clearly Sri Lanka Railways never considered the commuting the commuters living
around Koll-pity to Moratuwa. Unless Sri Lanka Railways commences all northern
trains, including the Mail Train from Mount Lavenia and at least two trains up
to Mount Lavenia (a status before the first
suspension in July 2022), Sri Lanka
Railways can take measures to close down all the Railway Stations and save the government
coffers sooner or later.

Why were there were 2 suspensions
within a space of less than 2 years for prolonged time? Doesn’t it appear as a move
for permanent sabotage? Why are these prolonged suspensions only for the Northern
Line? Isn’t it an ignorance born out of
racism because Northern Railways serves chiefly Tamils of Colombo Galle Road Adjacent
areas and Northern province?
As long as Sri Lanka
Railways dances to the tune of Trade Unions and the Ministers’ shortsighted
ambitions, it cannot contribute positively to the National Integrated Development
demand.
Can the
dawning Sinhala and Tamil New Year enlighten the Sri Lanka Railway Authorities
on wasting resources of the Northern Railway System maintained wastefully and
induct serving the commuters as of before the first suspension 2022 July?

தமிழர் பண்பாடும் காதலும்
தமிழர் பண்பாடும் காதலும்
"காதலுக்கு காத்து கிடப்பது சுகமெனில் காதலை காக்க வைப்போரும் உத்தமரே"
"காதலுக்கு காத்து கிடப்பது சுகமெனில் காதலை காக்க வைப் போரும் உத்தமரே”
இதுதான் தமிழர்
பண்பாட்டின் அடிப்படை. அதனை விடுத்து கூடிக் கலந்தால் தான் காதலென எண்ணி உண்மைக் காதலுக்கு இரும்புத் திரை போட்டு, கட்டு
அறுத் தோடுவதும் (தமிழர்) பண்பாடு ஆகாது.
Having described the culture of Tamils
(தமிழர் பண்பாடு),
it is quite interesting to research the alliance-making towards a successful
marriage among the Sri Lankan Tamils in the present context. There are few
methods of alliance-making within the Tamil Community,
1.
Inducting the major son and going to
be daughter-in-law, vise-versa to understand each other /arranging to love towards
marriage- widespread among very close relatives – mostly siblings of parents.
2.
Arranging the possible life partners
for loving toward marriage – mostly found among distant relatives and family
friends
3.
If one and two are not possible call
in a 3rd person to help find an alliance as a friend or
4.
Through the paid hirer, that is how Marriage
Brokerage began and burst into a booming business that devasted the Sri Lankan
community for a long particularly the Tamil community.
It has been evident even from our
ancestral practices that the system 1. And 2. which prioritized lifelong
partners understanding each other and encouraged marrying the direct cousins. This
way the parents direct their children to marry a cousin who would fall in love with
marriage. If there are no suitable direct cousins, they will go to the next option
2, seeking close relatives or friends and making their children free to move toward
understanding each other. In both ways, it is evident that our ancestors have encouraged
cultured love (பண்படான
காதல்)- It is very awe-inspiring to observe
that even in this modern techno period most families resort to this cultured
method for respect and economy of involved parties. During our ancestral period,
children were very obedient, and social challenges and demands were much less for
1 and 2 were very successful in contrast, in the modern techno period Tamil
youths of both genders are exposed to matrimonial websites and Dating Websites,
and even worse is those websites are being considered as the only method for seeking
their life-partners, by them.
This attitude of Tamil youths born out
of youthful exuberance for exploring undoubtedly challenges the psychic characteristic
of Tamil girls/women and hence very antic to Tamil Culture (தமிழர் பண்பாடு). Here the youthful
exuberance for exploring overruns the parental control for cultured love (பண்படான காதல்), inducted
for accomplishing the methods 1and 2 of alliance making.
When considering the method of hiring an alliance maker comes
into play when the parents do not have avenues for the first 3 options, this also
confers parental control and inducts love as well - if marriage is not hurried
for other reasons. For a long, print media also has been serving the purpose very
well through matrimonial advertisements. The brokerage became a booming business
in the 1970s and 1980s and middle-class families faced the impact of it since the
dowry system was in place that decided the brokerage fees, even made an impact on
the birth rate as well, as families feared the consequences of bigger families
later in their lives.
Anyhow the warring situation within North and East of Sri
Lanka changed the pattern of this, as families became dependent on each other for
social needs and methods 1 and 2 came to the forefront for alliance-making irrespective
of what class they were in economically and still intact; the rebellion groups
also banned the dowry demanding for marriages. In the present situation, dowry demand
is fading out as an obstruction to marriage alliances through whatever method it
was inducted.
The overall observation is that matrimonial websites and
Dating Websites are contracted from Western culture, and their infiltration into
the alliance-making for marriages within the Tamil community is a serious
threat to the Tamil
Culture (தமிழர்
பண்பாடு) – since those websites carry all the
aspects of Western culture practices that would take place before the actual marriages,
and demolishes the psychic
characteristic of the Tamil girls/women.

The Need for Constitutional Power Devolution for Provinces in Sri Lanka
The Need for Constitutional Power Devolution for Provinces in Sri Lanka
Disregarding National Anthem and National Flag
1.
Most Ven. Mahanayaka Thera of Asgiri Chapter, Most Ven. Mahanayaka
Thera of Malwathu Chapter, Most Ven. Mahanayaka Thera of Ramagnya Mahanikaya
and Most Ven. Mahanayaka Thera of Amarapura Mahanikaya has agreed in unison
that bhikkhus should not be required to stand up while hoisting the national
flag and playing the national anthem, here and abroad.
2.
The policies for the bhikkhus according to the Buddha Sasana, are
to remain in the seating posture and respect the hoisting of the national flag
or the playing of the national anthem.
3.
The claim by another fundamental Theravada Buddhist monk, “Bhikkhus are worshipped, they are only second to
Buddha and Dhamma, therefore will not worship anything else. “Nothing in the
whole universe is worthy of it. They stand up only in the presence of the
Buddha and senior bhikkhus” (Impact SundayObserver.lk)
Therefore, whatever is created by the Sasana stands
for elevated status which as well seeks and expects to infuse into all the
aspects of the national ruling in order to sustain that elevated status (that
emanates a dangerous notion of impunity for monks among law enforcing setup). The
fact that the creators of such a piece of Sasana do not understand due to the
insinuated euphoria offered by that portrayal of elevated status is without
a nation and its inhabitants the Sasana (members) cannot exist.
This is a status that amply contradicts the Lord Buddha's
vision of spreading peace through equality applications – and giving up his opportunity
for the throne and luxurious life that could have been incurred by that throne
because Lord Buddha understood that power and hence the force and inequality born
by that power may is a hindrance to his visionary Mission.
The well-educated eminent monks
the like of Chancellor of the Sri
Jayawardhanapura University, Prof. Ven. Bellanwila Wimalarathana Thera , and
Prof. Ven. Kamburugamuwe have overwhelmingly disputed the above statements as
stated in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3. The later Thera further explains that even
the Buddha had advised us to abide by the law of the country they originate.
“The National anthem and flag which are symbolic of the law of the country and
Nation and race – (the entire Sri Lankan identity) must come before anything
else.”
Thus, monks who would
prefer to be attached to their seats while the National Anthem is recited or
when the National Flag is hoisted shall as well be silently seated while enacting
or changing the constitution for better governance of the entire Sri Lankan Community
as done by Prince Siddhartha for the accomplishment Spiritual journey. The monks who be seated when National Anthem is
recited hold no moral right to interfere in (for the best of) Governing System.
It is deeply disturbing to observe that the majority of Sri Lankan Theravada Buddhist
Monks, are actively involved in isolating the non-Buddhists – from Sri Lankan identity
by falsely claiming that Sri Lanka belongs only to one Race the so-called “Sinhala
Buddhists”. This dangerous notion has been well spread into the defense and law
enforcement systems by the portrayal of “be seated monks” against reciting the National
Anthem and hoisting of the National Flag – as of up above all.
The same dangerous notion is the core issue responsible for the entire
mayhem of Sri Lanka’s post-independence history – and still worsening, as the
notion of “one race” owning the island has been the Political Rhetoric for winning
the gullible constituency even after the – so-called war against terrorism –
now truly turning to be an against of Tamils, particularly Saivism followers –
by the actions of State machinery working for that political Rhetor.
Contradicting the
Constitution or Constitutional Contradiction
Sri Lanka’s Constitution
“9. The Republic of Sri Lanka shall give
Buddhism the foremost place and accordingly, it shall be the duty of the State
to protect and foster the Buddha Sasana while assuring to all religions the
rights granted by Articles 10 and 14(l)(e). Freedom of thought, conscience, and
religion.”
“10. Every person is entitled to freedom of
thought, conscience, and religion, including the freedom to have or to adopt a
religion or belief of his choice”
The
wording, The Republic of
Sri Lanka shall give Buddhism the foremost place and accordingly, it shall be
the duty of the State to protect and foster the Buddha Sasana – coupled with arrogance
of disregard for National Anthem and the National Flag hoisting by Sanga
members has thrown-away any chance of natural Justice – for Saivism, Christian,
and Islamic followers – that has been presumably included to portray that the
constitution is inclusive within– by the wording “while assuring to all
religions the rights granted by Articles 10 and 14(l)(e). Freedom of thought,
conscience, and religion.”
This is
because of the falsified notion that Sri Lanka belongs only to Theravada Buddhism
and has been well infiltrated into the ruling system, as well as while enacting
the constitution that only - ostensibly tries to guarantee the practicing of
other religions – a fact proven by turnover of happenings to North – East Saiva
temples being worshiped by the second-largest population of Sri Lanka for
centuries.
Sri Lanka is a
multinational multiethnic nation, and this wrong notion led to all the civil
commotion and consequently coaxed the 30-year-long war, and the system has
miserably failed to fertilize to cultivate Sri Lankan Identity inclusive of
all ethnic communities' which is simply referred to as national unity, instead
of the ruling system has been fertilizing and fueling hatred since independence
and cultivating abhorrence abundantly to cripple Sri Lanka economically, and all
are decrying today for a reconciliation, within Sri Lanka without understanding
the core issues of hindrances for National Unity.
It is very
hilarious that those who cultivated abhorrence – a permanent hatred of each
other within society, are the same people shouting about reconciliation without
understanding the difference between psychological binding and physical bonding.
The Sanga members are
very much attached to sustaining the elevated status and the defense personnel are
very much prejudiced that reconciliation can be brought by gunpoint – and sights
that 30-year war is constructed for that purpose. This is what is referred to as physical bonding.
That
is why Ven. Ellawala Medhananda Thera who strongly advocates being seated
while National Anthem is recited commented that the devolution of power is creating
a new problem, and is responsible for targeting Hindu temples as Buddhist
Archeological sites disrespecting whatever constitutional guarantee provided
for adopting religions other than Theravada Buddhism – using Department of Archeology as a weapon. This is
not reconciliation but continuously subjugating minorities by majoritarian rule.
The psychological binding of a community
to the rest of society is inevitable where a permanent hatred has been seeded
for 76 years.
This is where meaningful
devolution of power interlaces with natural justice for minorities of this
multi-ethnic nation and ensures attraction to central majoritarian governance. This
also ensures effective minority participation in the governing system.
From the learned
lessons, land and policing power must be optimally devolved, for the
effectiveness of the devolution, without central subjugating clauses found in
the present 13th Amendment for each devolved unit.
Each devolved unit shall have a Deputy Solicitor General under one Central Attorney General. Upcountry Tamils and Muslims shall have borderless cantons within the Central and North-Eastern Provinces respectively, hence North and Eastern provinces shall become one devolved unit.
Tamil translation of the Sri Lanka National Anthem shall be primarily recited wherever applicable.
