Israel created Hamas as an excuse to wage war on the Palestinians. For example, on May 18, a Hamas MP said all Israelis must be annihilated. This is a perfect excuse for Zionists and their supporters to forestall the peace process.This report suggests the Hamas MP could easily work for Israel.

The Israelis created Hamas. But before we explore why, let’s be clear that Israel does not want peace. They want all of Palestine, and their belligerent settlement practices confirm that.
But the Israelis are taking advantage of the world’s ignorance of the realities in Palestine, and posturing as being willing to talk “peace”, only to actually stall that very peace process, so as not to interrupt the further colonization of Palestine.
So anything that can be offered as an excuse, will be. The most convenient ploy, presented with the sycophantic assistance of the media, is that of “terrorism”.
But the masses are naive, and fail to suspect the Machiavellian extremes that certain leaders will resort to. This includes creating a false enemy, in this case, Hamas, whereby the right-wing leadership of the Israelis can point the finger to some “enemy” to blame for supposedly stalling the process.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The West’s sponsorship of Islamic terrorism is nothing new. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1924, the British and Americans filled the vacuum by providing their own versions of “Islamic” leaders. This started with the creation of the Muslim Brotherhood through a grant from the British. Under British sponsorship, the Brotherhood today represents a powerful force in the Islamic world, and is behind almost every act of terror in the name of Islam.
More correctly, the Brotherhood has been a tool shared by numerous Western intelligence agencies, starting with the Nazis, followed by the CIA, but also the Russians, French, Germans and Israelis.
Since the Truman and Eisenhower administrations, the Muslim Brotherhood has been used to rally naive Muslims under the banner of Islam. Ever since, the Americans and others have been able to manage the Brotherhood like a rabid dog on a leash to keep the atheist Communist threat at bay.
With the collapse of the Cold War however, the Brotherhood has been used as the bogey man which the Americans can chase into the Middle East and Central Asia, starting with Iraq and Afghanistan.
Israel’s long-standing relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood was instrumental in the founding of an offshoot organization, Hamas.
According to Robert Dreyfuss, author of “Devil’s Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam”:
“And beginning in 1967 through the late 1980s, Israel helped the Muslim Brotherhood establish itself in the occupied territories. It assisted Ahmed Yassin, the leader of the Brotherhood, in creating Hamas, betting that its Islamist character would weaken the PLO.”
According to Charles Freeman, former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia, “Israel started Hamas. It was a project of Shin Bet [Isreali domestic intelligence agency], which had a feeling that they could use it to hem in the PLO.”
One aspect of that strategy was the creation of the Village Leagues, over which Yassin and the Brotherhood exercised much influence. Israel trained about 200 members of the Leagues and recruited many paid informers.
New York Times Reporter David Shipler cites the Israeli military governor of Gaza as boasting that Israel expressly financed the fundamentalists against the PLO:
“Politically speaking, Islamic fundamentalists were sometimes regarded as useful to Israel, because they had conflicts with the secular supporters of the PLO. Violence between the two groups erupted occasionally on West Bank university campuses. Israeli military governor of the Gaza Strip, Brigadier General Yitzhak Segev, once told me how he had financed the Islamic movement as a counterweight to the PLO and the Communists. ‘The Israeli Government gave me a budget and the military government gives to the mosques,’ he said.”
As Dreyfuss notes, “during the 1980s, the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza and the West Bank did not support resistance to the Israeli occupation. Most of its energy went to fighting the PLO, especially its more left-wing factions, on university campuses.”
After the Palestinian uprising of 1987, the PLO accused Hamas and Yassin of acting “with the direct support of reactionary Arab regimes… in collusion with the Israeli occupation.”
Yasser Arafat complained to an Italian newspaper: “Hamas is a creation of Israel, which at the time of Prime Minister Shamir, gave them money and more than 700 institutions, among them schools, universities and mosques.” Arafat also maintained that Israeli prime minister Rabin admitted to him in the presence of Hosni Mubarak that Israel had supported Hamas.
Essentially, as analyst Ray Hannania pointed out, in “Sharon’s Terror Child”, published in Counterpunch, “undermining the peace process has always been the real target of Hamas and has played into the political ambitions of Likud. Every time Israeli and Palestinian negotiators appeared ready to take a major step forward achieving peace, an act of Hamas terrorism has scuttled the peace process and pushed the two sides apart.”
In “Hamas and the Transformation of Political Islam in Palestine”, for Current History, Sara Roy wrote:
“Some analysts maintain that while Hamas leaders are being targeted, Israel is simultaneously pursuing its old strategy of promoting Hamas over the secular nationalist factions as a way of ensuring the ultimate demise of the [Palestinian Authority], and as an effort to extinguish Palestinian nationalism once and for all.”
CONCLUSION
The Muslim Brotherhood, and its many manifestations like Al Qaeda and bin Laden, serve as an ever-present and manufactured “terrorist” threat, used constantly as a pretext to justify repressive measures at home and expanded imperialistic objectives abroad.
Because, despite all the rhetoric about the threat of “political Islam”, unbeknownst to the general public, the manipulation of the Muslim Brotherhood throughout the world is still a mainstay of American foreign policy.

When I advised George Bush he used my exact words in answering questions about the Blood bath in Iraq. I told him that the United States has 70,000 murders a year and less than 35,000 are solved. To EXPECT LESS IN A WAR ZONE WAS SILLY.
USA does not encouragement to buy weapons a country of 300 million has 600 million guns. Every pull over by a cop he has his hand on his weapon ready to shoot for even a speeding ticket.
Every school child in LA knows enough not to wear the wrong color to school or he will be shot. The war lords in Beirut told reporters in the middle of the War when he was in New York City it was too dangerous for him to ride the subway.
America is doing just fine with waging war with in itself. We don’t need encouragement we will kill ourselves just fine without it. In fact unless they blow up another building we will not even notice it if they shot up a whole town if it was on a Saturday night after a sporting event.
The Islamic was given 100 times more Land than the land grantors of Moses Time. They are the only Jewish ones to receive Land in Israel. That means the Khazars which are of stock not from Moses Time have neither right to land in Israel nor the tribe of Levi due to the curse Jacob spoke and God honored about Levi using religious ritual to murder his inlaws who wanted to live in peace with Jacob.
This is called the curse of Levi {Preists in Sanhedrin who nailed the Messiah to a tree because they loved the Gold of the altar more than the God of the altar}.
That reduces the Land for a Jewish nation to a small area around Jerusalem as promised by God in 922 BC for King David..
The Settlements in Gaza are being built for now will be for Islamic heirs {Moses people time} that have the right DNA.
The people who follow the God of Abraham and that are related to Abraham are truly special blessed people. The Ones from Abraham wife Sarah was chosen to be the line of the messiah to all mankind.
Her son Isaac wife was to give birth to twin sons Jacob the younger was to steal the birthright from Esau bring both a blessing and curse of being a deceiver upon the Jewish people. The problems of the Jewish people are not from the sons of Ishmael it is their own blood brothers.
Problem world has with Jewish spiritual blindness to truth 2 billion Islamic 1 billion Christians see is the return of the Lord Jesus Christ which {Levi} Sanhedrin nailed to a tree because Christ proved them liars frauds thieves and murderers {curse of Levi}, Jewish leaders deceived the people saying they did not believe Christ was from God they knew he was they just did not like him and they still don’t to this day. They deceived themselves but not the world
I agree and I have the knowledge that Hamas was created by Israel. But had Hamas not been there does anyone think that there would have been peace?? Its merely a fallacy. Israel is not interested in peace what come may, Hamas or no Hamas. Israelis have created this opportunity after a bloody struggle of 2000 years and if someone’s think that they are really interested in peace to give back the occupied territories…… He indeed has a serious judgmental error. Soon they are going to launch their efforts along with the western coalition to expand their boundaries to Biblical proportions and why they would want peace??
as a reply for refuse2lose: first, the word “Jews” is mentioned NONE in this ridiculous article. the devils of all times with their different names, the enemy of humanity who are now ruling and deceiving the world, denying and changing FACTS including HISTORY.. are called ZIONISTS.
while you talk about innocence, 288 CHILDREN, 121 WOMEN killed in 22 days by your lovely israeli peace makers, are some numbers i bet you never heard of and you will never do, unless with opposite signs.
Are you freaking SERIOUS???? Every time Israel has extended it’s hand in peace, YOUR loving and peaceful “Palestinians”(aka Jordanians) refused and instead KILLED INNOCENT WOMEN AND CHILDREN. Get your freaking facts straight before you post something like this….. oh wait, but then you wouldn’t be able to vilify the Jews!!!!
Oh look, another Israeli shill, probably arriving via the racist Megaphone. Israel’s government and intelligence network are murderous, in violation of several treaties, and their violations are, despite a stranglehold on the media because of Jews like this, documented. They are also responsible for 9-11, and profited from it immensely.
