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 a Palestinian Militant group to fulfil its ambitions of 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 Ahemad 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. 

Palestine before the Nakba, 1948

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.
