They did eventually turn on the organization upon its formal creation in the last 80's but by that time the cat was out of the bag. |
Once again, the Muslim Brotherhood and Mujama al-Islamiya had both denounced violence and were random charities.
What would be the reaction now, if Israel just started storming random mosques and charities? Especially ones that had denounced violence?
Your article doesn't actually provide any concrete facts of how Israel helped in the creation of Hamas? Did they give them money? Weapons? No.
All it says is Israel allowed charities, that had denounced violence, to build mosques and schools. What kind of reaction would the press have had if Israel had instead stormed these schools and mosques and torn them down? Israel has no control over whether or not a Palestinian can have a mosque. Are you suggesting that Israel should go into Palestinian neighbourhoods and forcibly remove people from mosques? Destroy schools? That would go over really well, I'm sure.
