It’s my understanding that Hamas much like bin Laden received a fair amount of support from governments that would later come to regret that support under the premise that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. On top of that there are always people who are willing to profit off conflict.
Think about it for a minute. The US government just sent a pile of US taxpayer dollars and weapons constructed with US taxpayer dollars to Israel to fight Hamas. Hamas is using, at least in part, weapons paid for by the U.S. taxpayer and abandoned in Afghanistan. The US also sent a pile of US taxpayer dollars to help humanitarian efforts in Gaza, a substantial chunk of which will undoubtedly wind up in the control of Hamas since they hold the power in Gaza. So the US taxpayer is paying for both sides of the conflict. Meanwhile those in the US government do everything possible to pay the least amount of tax possible and also own a pile of defense contracting stocks that are doing very well right now. So the US taxpayer foots the bill for both sides of a war that has little to nothing to do with us and our political elite get rich on war profiteering. Then they raise our taxes to pay for their war. I highly doubt the American government is any sort of special sort of evil and suspect this is more the norm for how the world’s governments operate. I suspect there are plenty of people in the Israeli government who will benefit from instability and lose power or control if peace is ever established. That is why Hamas was allowed to come into and maintain power.
