Hamas is an Israeli Trojan Horse Against the Palestinians

“Netanyahu’s strategy is to prevent the option of two states, so he is turning Hamas into his closest partner. Openly Hamas is an enemy. Covertly, it’s an ally.” — Israeli major general Gershon Hacohen [13]

As proven in my previous writing, groups like the Albert Einstein Institution are trained to help grow and organize phony activists and movements that are beneficial to NATO’s and its allies’ imperialist agendas. These organizers work secretly within a foreign country’s population, and manipulate them into selling out their own country, not to another nation, but to the international business networks (Neocolonialism). That is the ultimate evolution of colonialism, the covert one.

Any ‘resistance’ movement that consistently throws its own people under the bus, and just so happens to ‘coincidentally’ aid NATO’s or the Zionist agenda, should always be looked at with skepticism. And Hamas is one such group.

Hamas’ average fighter was fooled by a leadership under the control of Israel.

Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu openly stated, “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state must support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas. That’s part of our strategy…”. [12]

Hamas has been Israel’s perfect excuse to bomb Gaza, and also its most effective covert ally against real Palestinian grassroots resistance. But make no mistake, most Palestinians who join Hamas really believe they are in a legitimate resistance movement. It’s the Zionist leadership of Hamas who has tricked them, and controls their actions to continue the abuse and displacement of Palestinians.

The “Creature of Israel”

The Muslim Brotherhood established Hamas in 1987 during the first Palestinian uprising (intifada), against Israeli occupation to give them credibility. It became known as a more radical movement centered around Jihad, and ‘radical Islam’ conflicting with the more grassroots Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PLO), and it’s Fatah faction’s secular, or non-religious approach. [1]

“The Israeli Government gave me a budget and the military government gives to the mosques”, Israeli Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev told a New York Times writer. The purpose of Israel funding Hamas according to the Israeli official, was to use them as “a counterweight to the PLO and the Communists”. A divide-and-conquer operation that to this day has only benefited the Israeli government. [4]

In 1988 the PLO and Israel were trying to come into peace agreements, and a two-state solution, but a faction within the Israeli government did not approve. Their solution was to covertly undermine peace, and fund Jihadi groups to prevent any agreement through terror tactics. Hamas did their role by staging attacks against the PLO and other Palestinians, very similar to what NATO was doing in Europe during Operation Gladio. [3][4][5]

Avner Cohen, another Israeli official, told the Wall Street Journal; “Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation”. This was after 13 Israelis, and 1,200 Palestinians were killed during a 22 day war started by Hamas. [7]

It’s important to mention that during the 1980’s, NATO was also funding Jihadi groups in the Middle East, and using them as a proxy-army against the Soviets. This lead to the creation of Osama Bin Laden, Al-Qaeda, and the Taliban. [6]

“When I look back at the chain of events I think we made a mistake” Israel military expert David Hacham told the WSJ. He also criticized the “lenient approach” the Israelis had with Hamas leaders, often releasing them early back into operation. [7]

In 1988 Hamas put out a charter declaring Jihad and “killing the Jews” as a goal, painting Muslims as the convenient Zionist-made caricature PSYOP that still thrives to this day. This has been the selling line for both the “War on Terror” and Israel’s unrepentant land-grabbing. [2]

“Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.” [2]

Likud Party’s Baby

Hamas’ bombing campaign in 1996 aided Benjamin Netanyahu’s election run against Shimon Peres that same year. After all, Netanyahu ran on state security and the relatively-small Hamas swoop in last minute as Israel’s foe. [18]

Former Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said that Netanyahu begged for donations to Hamas. “Both Egypt and Qatar are angry with Hamas and planned to cut ties with them. Suddenly Netanyahu appears as the defender of Hamas”. Liberman eventually resigned from Netanyahu’s administration exclaiming that “Israel is funding terrorism against itself”. [18]

Belazel Smotrich, Netanyahu’s own finance minister told Knesset channel: “Hamas is an asset, and (Palestinian Authority leader) Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) is a burden”. [18]

Hamas has also expressed support for Israel’s and NATO’s proxy-war against Syria. [19]

Interestingly, Likud’s charter mentions the slogan “between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty”, which is the mirror image of the Hamas slogan “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free” . It’s likely being pushed by controlled-opposition “pro-Palestine” influencers trying to propagandize the one-state solution idea, that both Netanyahu and Hamas are working towards. [20]

Favoritism

2007 Communication found in Wikileak’s diplomatic cables between US Ambassador Richard Jones, and Israeli Director of Military Intelligence Amos Yadlin are telling about Israel’s support for Hamas governing Gaza. These are some interesting quotes:

“Yadlin said Israel would be “happy” if Hamas took over Gaza because the IDF could then deal with Gaza as a hostile state.” [9]

“Israel could handle the situation “as long as Gaza does not have a port (sea or air).”” [9]

“They understand that the balance of power favors Hamas, which “can take over Gaza any time it wants to.” Yadlin said he would be surprised if Fatah fights, and even more surprised if they win.” [9]

The PLO’s Yasser Arafat called Hamas “a creature of Israel”, and he was right. Hamas successfully prevented a united Palestine.

Cables from 1988

“Many West Bankers believe that Israel actively supports Hamas in an effort to divide Palestinians and weaken the intifada. They point to the fact that Hamas operatives act boldly in distributing their leaflets. Shopkeepers in Jerusalem and Nablus report that, whereas UNLU leaflets are distributed secretly for fear of Israeli security forces, Hamas operatives walk into shops and present their leaflets directly to the owners.

Mayor Freij of Bethlehem claims that members of some well known families who collaborate with Israeli officials have been seen among Hamas street gangs in Bethlehem. Furthermore, despite massive arrests — and the public identity of many MB leaders — relatively few Hamas leaders have been detained. In recent weeks, fundamentalist leaders have given interviews to Israeli publications that would have landed secularist leaders in detention.“ [11]

“In the past, however, Hamas has firebombed Christian shops that sold liquor or otherwise defied its orders. In Bethlehem, tires were burned and there were confrontations between Hamas and UNLU supporters on the occasion of the September 9 strike.” [11]

“An interesting exception is new Askar camp where, because of the arrest of almost the entire Fatah leadership, Hamas has been able to move in and organize.” [11]

“Hamas opposes the two-state solution toward which the PLO seems to be inching. It opposes the creation of a secular state in Palestine, as called for in the PLO covenant. Instead, it demands the establishment of an Islamic state.” [11]

“UNLU, in response, accuses Hamas of serving israel by dividing the uprising. At the same time, UNLU invites Hamas to join the intifada leadership.

25. Hamas, to date, has rejected all calls for unity with UNLU. One excuse often heard is that Hamas will not sit on the same committee with the communists. Others say it will not sit with any leftist group, such as the PFLP.” [11]

Cables from 1989

“Hamas has grown considerably in strength in Gaza in recent months. It has increasingly targeted so-called collaborators and individuals who engage in activities defined by the organization as anti-Islamic. […] IDF analysts have also asserted that Hamas has become a major influence in Gaza and, because of its willingness to use violence to intimidate other Palestinians, may have become the dominant force there.” [10]

“Israeli occupation officials indicated that Hamas served as a useful counter to the secular organizations loyal to the PLO. A number of Palestinians loyal to the PLO alleged that the IDF was using Hamas for such a purpose.” [10]

The Muslim Brotherhood

During the Six-Day War of 1967, Israel waged a highly successful campaign against various Arab countries, and this victory gave them control over both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. During those years the Muslim Brotherhood began to create a network through schools, charities, hospitals, universities and mosques in Palestine. These networks later became what is now known as Hamas. [1][7]

Most of the Arab states who are in conflict with Israel are non-religious (secular), including the then Egyptian government of Gamal Abdel Nasser, which was defeated in the Six-Day War. Egypt at the time controlled Gaza, and Nasser saw the operations of the Muslim Brotherhood as sabotage and oppressed the group. Nasser’s eventual defeat gave the Brotherhood the opportunity to grow their operations in Egypt, Gaza and elsewhere. [7][8]

In Gaza Israel got rid of the restrictions the Egyptian government had imposed on the Brotherhood, but persecuted the secular PLO factions. This allowed the Brotherhood and later Hamas to grow into the main Palestinian movement, and assist in the Israeli divide-and-conquer operation against the secular Palestinian movements. [7][9]

Despite the Brotherhood’s calls for “global Jihad”, it’s Gaza leader Sheikh Yassin was accused by numerous Islamic clerics of not having any formal Islamic training, and simply using faith for political use. But Yassin’s Brotherhood created a fake philanthropic identity through charity work and a university, which eventually helped him amass a large following. [7]

Some interesting bits from Wikileak’s diplomatic cables on the Muslim Brotherhood (MB):

“Islam has, however, played a role in West Bank politics since the late 1940s, when the MB [Muslim Brotherhood] first came to the West Bank. The MB was shortly after discredited in the eyes of Palestinians by its support for King Hussein in his power struggle against PM Nabulsi in the mid-50s. During Jordanian rule, it was tightly monitored by Jordanian intelligence and did not gain significant influence until the mid- to late-70s, particularly in the northern West Bank.” [11]

“In 1976, MB supporters attacked and burned a Nablus theater showing an “immodest” play. This is often considered the beginning of the MB’s emergence as a viable political force in the northern West Bank.” [11]

“There are strong links with Cairo and Amman, and some MB leaders may hold positions in Jordanian intelligence.” [11]

Hamas ‘Leadership’ in Qatar

After the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel, a man residing in Qatar by the name of Ismail Haniyeh took credit. In 2013 he is appointed deputy head of Hamas, and moved to Qatar in 2016, who’s government denies direct involvement with Hamas. [14]

At this point though, Israel seems to be more interested in Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader still in Gaza. [22]

While Hamas and its leadership are very well off financially, Gazans have an 80% poverty rate. Hamas has been able to amass weapons such as rockets and drones from an estimated annual budget of $100 million to $350 million, which should leave every Gazan wondering where all that international humanitarian aid is really going to. Coincidentally, much of that money has also been approved by Israel. [15]

“Hamas’ leadership has invested its income in an international investment portfolio worth $500 million in real estate and other assets from companies in Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, which it uses to conceal and launder its money, according to a Treasury announcement.” [15]

Asymmetric Warfare [16]

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s regular allowing of Qatari funds to be transferred into Gaza, saying it is part of a broader strategy to keep Hamas and the Palestinian Authority separate, a source in Monday’s Likud faction meeting said” [18]

To this day Hamas has continued Israel’s divide-and-conquer operation. “Each time we moved toward unity, Netanyahu would launch a campaign claiming that (Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud) Abbas is cooperating with terrorists”, Mustafa Barghouti, member of the PLO Central Council said. Netanyahu has also refused to work with the secular groups in any way. [18]

When the Palestinian Authority evicted illegal Israeli settlers in 2005, Hamas retaliated by killing PA leaders, with tactics such as throwing them off high roofs. Again, doing the work of Israel. [21]

Palestinians have the right to an armed resistance movement but Israel’s Hamas is not the one, because if they were truly an out-of-control threat, the Israelis would not be supporting it so openly for decades. And Hamas doesn’t even need to fire a single rocket at this point. Israel’s 20-year blockade from Egypt that created shortages in all of Gaza, was easily excused on ‘prevention of weapon smuggling’. And lets not forget about the violence and intimidation Palestinians have also suffered from Hamas. [11] [17]

Unfortunately the Palestinians are stuck between a rock and a hard place. If they create their own grassroots armed resistance, then likely a civil war with Hamas would ensue to Israel’s benefit. So Hamas needs to be exposed and have its funding cut. But if Hamas is not extinguished then it will continue to be used as a Zionist tool until there is enough killing and displacement of Palestinians for both Hamas and Israel’s stated goal — a one-state solution.
