'Buying quiet': Inside the Israeli plan that propped up Hamas

[IM2]

Well, here it is. More proof that the Israeli government propped up the very terrorists they are fighting today. This evil strategy was created bu Benjamin Netanyahu and now h want to rest of the world to assist him in his ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. This man is so craven and deprived that he allowed his own people to be kidnapped and killed. And now he continues trying to play blame it all on Hamas so he can continue his war indefinitely in order to stay in power.

'Buying quiet': Inside the Israeli plan that propped up Hamas​

Just weeks before Hamas launched the deadly Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, the head of Mossad arrived in Doha, Qatar, for a meeting with Qatari officials.

For years, the Qatari government had been sending millions of dollars a month into the Gaza Strip -- money that helped prop up the Hamas government there. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel not only tolerated those payments, he had encouraged them.

All that can be hashed out after Gaza is cleansed.

So you point the finger at Israel and say nothing of the Qatar government that sent the funds and that currently provides shelter and luxury for Hamas leaders in Qatar?

I'm sure efficient ghetto cleansing tactics have been learned by the Israelis so it won't take long.

Spoiler: Ghetto cleansing

Interesting that they are using M91/30s....Must be some of the Hungarian SS units the Germans pressed into service for such dirty work.

Note the M95 bayonets they are wearing.....The Hungarians converted some M91/30s, adding a bayonet lug that fit a Hungarian M95 bayonet.

Thanks for posting that pic....The converted M91s are hard to find and pretty beat-up when you do find one.

And I bet those small size shoes were useful too. Apparently one of the lessons the Israelis haven't managed to pick up. I'm sure they'll get on to it, they've learned nearly everything else. You know, outdoor concentration camps, ghettos...

It was....The leather was ground to a powder, binders were added, and "paper leather" was produced.

As you can see it did not wear well.

I'm sure the Israelis will be able to improve on that with modern polymers, etc..

Lol. Israel is blockading Gaza. Do you even know that?

There is no racism in this and the fact remains that Netanyahu propped up Hamas. I didn't write the article. You want to talk crazy?

Talk to these guys.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gambled that a strong Hamas (but not too strong) would keep the peace and reduce pressure for a Palestinian state.

Damn right! Because the Israeli government made the deal to allow Qatar to send the funds.

You’re a racist. That’s just the point of departure.

Now, you’re expanding your range of topic to include anti Semitic nonsense.

 

[IM2]

Stop conflating. This bs gets old. Any criticism of Israel becomes a dishonest attempt to call somebody an anti semite. The government of Israel is the problem here, not jews as a people.

 

[Lemmi]

Israel's big mistake was allowing Gaza to be ruled by Muslims in the first place. Nothing like having a breeding ground for terrorists who hate Israel and Jews living next door to you.

 

[Rawley]

When you are promoting such bullshit conspiracy theories, your motivation clearly goes beyond criticism of the state of Israel.

 

[MarathonMike]

Mike is a frikkin moron.

"Mike" questions sources like the NY Times with articles that say "according to sources familiar with meeting". Secondly regardless of Israels involvement or not, Qatar is the source of the funds and Qatar is currently providing Hamas leaders sanctuary and luxury. Only a moron, to use your words, would give Qatar a pass. And again you didn't have the guts to insult me directly you do it in this cowardly second hand message. But then that's what we've come to expect from you.

This is not a conspiracy theory. It is a fact that is known in Israel.

The Qatari payments, while ostensibly a secret, have been widely known and discussed in the Israeli news media for years. Mr. Netanyahu’s critics disparage them as part of a strategy of “buying quiet,” and the policy is in the middle of a ruthless reassessment following the attacks. Mr. Netanyahu has lashed back at that criticism, calling the suggestion that he tried to empower Hamas “ridiculous.”

In interviews with more than two dozen current and former Israeli, American and Qatari officials, and officials from other Middle Eastern governments, The New York Times unearthed new details about the origins of the policy, the controversies that erupted inside the Israeli government and the lengths that Mr. Netanyahu went to in order to shield the Qataris from criticism and keep the money flowing.

The payments were part of a string of decisions by Israeli political leaders, military officers and intelligence officials — all based on the fundamentally flawed assessment that Hamas was neither interested in nor capable of a large-scale attack. The Times has previously reported on intelligence failures and other faulty assumptions that preceded the attacks.
As far back as December 2012, Mr. Netanyahu told the prominent Israeli journalist Dan Margalit that it was important to keep Hamas strong, as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Mr. Margalit, in an interview, said that Mr. Netanyahu told him that having two strong rivals, including Hamas, would lessen pressure on him to negotiate toward a Palestinian state.
