    If you take a moment to actually look into these claims that Israel funded Hamas, you’ll find that it’s exactly what I’m describing.

    Please, send me a source that describes exactly what Israel did - not an out of context quote, not a vague accusation, but what specific actions or mechanism Israel used to help Hamas. You will find only actions that Palestinian advocates were calling for.

    It’s easy to start from the point of view that Israel is bad and deserves everything that happens to them. It’s a lot harder to look at objective facts and think critically for yourself.

        As I said, they allowed international aid, on an approved schedule. Or do you think that the ruling party of Gaza should not be allowed to move money they raised for the people of Gaza into the strip?

        Hamas already raised the money and it was facilitated by Qatar.

        Israel is criticized for keeping funds out of Gaza and for letting funds into Gaza? Does that really make sense, or is that what a pundit told you to think?

            Exactly right:

            Palestinian activists: Israel needs to ease border restrictions and allow more goods and funds into Gaza!

            Israel: (Does that)

            Palestinian activists: Why are you helping Hamas??
