Perhaps, you and Senator Rubio should get your facts straight. Don't take my word for it, read what Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders actually said and did!!!!

"The fact that Israel has actively supported Hamas is not a "far-out conspiracy theory."
It's a well-documented fact that has been attested to time and time again by Israeli
insiders and reported over and over in mainstream media.

Take the 2009 Wall Street Journal article, "How Israel Helped to Spawn Hamas." In it,
reporter Moshav Tekuma quotes Avner Cohen—a Tunisia-born Jew who worked as an
Israeli official in Gaza during the 1970s and 1980s—lamenting that "Hamas, to my great
regret, is Israel's creation." According to Cohen, it was Israel's strategy from the very
beginning to foster Islamic radicals in Palestine to thwart Israel's true enemy: the
secular Palestinian leadership that was seeking to win Palestinian statehood through
peaceful, diplomatic means." .....

"There are plenty of other examples of Israeli complicity in the build-up of Hamas.
In 2013, Yuval Diskin—head of the Israeli Shin Bet security service from 2005 to 2011,
told Yedioth Ahronoth: “If we look at it over the years, one of the main people
contributing to Hamas’s strengthening has been [Israeli Prime Minster] Bibi [Benjamin]
Netanyahu, since his first term as prime minister."

In 2019, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak appeared on Israeli Army Radio,
where he opined that Netanyahu's "strategy is to keep Hamas alive and kicking . . . even
at the price of abandoning the citizens [of the south] . . . in order to weaken the
Palestinian Authority in Ramallah."

Yasser Arafat told an Italian newspaper that "Hamas is a creature of Israel"
and claimed that former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin had admitted as much to him." ....

"But why would Israel support their enemies?" they might ask in bewilderment.
Luckily, this isn't a difficult question to answer. According to Ehud Barak, the logic
holds that "it's easier with Hamas to explain to Israelis that there is no one to sit with
and no one to talk to." In other words, a radical, violent Palestinians enemy gives the
radical, violent Likudniks an excuse to avoid ever having to seriously engage in peace
talks with the Palestinian people.". ...

"Once again, it is important to stress that this is not some wild conspiracy theory. It's
publicly acknowledged Israeli policy. As Haaretz openly admitted in the wake of
October 7, Netanyahu has even confessed to using this strategy in cabinet meetings:
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support
bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” he told a meeting of his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. “This is part of our strategy—to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.. ...

"Let's look at the al-Shifa Hospital incident. Remember when Netanyahu won the Fake
News Award earlier this year for touting the ridiculous IDF animation showing how
"Hamas-ISIS" (whatever that is) "turn hospitals into headquarters for their terror"?

And remember how the IDF then released a (debunked) video revealing that this terror
headquarters actually consisted of two guns and a (GASP!) MRI machine?
Well, regardless of the discrepancy between the scary IDF cartoon of the Hamas bunker
layer and the completely banal reality, it does raise some interesting questions, such as:
Other than Hamas, who could have possibly built such a bunker, anyway?
And what possible reason would they have for building a bunker under a hospital except
to use that hospital as a shield for their terrorist activities?
Oh, that's right. Hamas didn't build the bunker. Israel did, back when Israeli troops were
occupying Gaza. And why did Israel build the bunker? According to Ehud Barak, it was
"in order to enable more space for the operation of the hospital within the very limited
size of these compounds."
