Hamas was literally formed as a reaction to Israeli war crimes against Palestinians in the 1980’s.

And of the two they’re the one that publicly showed a moderating trend, only to have their attempts rebuffed in the mid 2000’s.

They aren’t nice people but understanding how they got where they are clearly tells us to stop supporting Israel.

Thanks for the info I wanted to access the article but it’s blocked by a paywall/ email submission to view which I’m not too keen on doing. I know Israel had funded Hamas to maintain its own status quo many years ago but wasn’t privy to the possibility it may still be happening. Was wondering if you had any other sources on this?
