hamas would have a much smaller base of extremists to recruit from in gaza if israel did not insist on being an apartheid state

hamas likely would not exist in it's current form at all if israel hadn't stomped the plo in gaza into the dirt in the 80s and 90s and created a void that extremists were eager to fill

but hamas is now an extremely useful tool for the right-wing in both the us and israel as perpetual stalking horse for ginning up frothing anger and keeping a grip on power. every few years a few hundred israeli civilians die, and in return the war hawks of the world get to fire up the money and votes machine and harvest the spoils

alas, better things aren't possible (registered trademark of the democratic party)

so everyone will keep listening to violence merchants and killing each other, forever
