Edit: I agree that Netanyahu, and other right wing Israelis, don't want a Palestinian state, and disagree with them. I also don't see how Netanyahu taking advantage of the situation in 2018, to play his enemies off each other, is the same as creating Hamas and putting them in power, which is the charge against him.

OK, well if you agree that they have specifically enabled and encouraged funding Hamas, the terrorist organization, with the express purpose of strengthening them to avoid a Palestinian state, then what are you arguing?
We’re not talking about just allowing aid. We’re talking about enabling Hamas to do what Hamas does, which is engaging in terrorism, which Israeli officials have encouraged, for their own gain. Why pretend it’s all some grand humanitarian play?
Let’s just call it what it is, right? We know what his intent is. Why are people pretending he’s a peacemaker who wants the Palestinians to have their own state if only they would get out of their own way?
He, and the right wing war mongers in his government, have to go. Period. That doesn’t mean Hamas doesn’t have to go, too, but Palestine without Hamas and with Netanyahu is not a state. Both have to go.
