Benjamin Netanyahu

A number of years ago a pastor friend of mine was all agog over Benjamin Netanyahu becoming PM of Israel. He waxed poetic about how he thought Netanyahu was God's anointed. I had little information to go on so I simply filed it away as useful information. Lately I have been listening to analysts who have had personal interaction with Mr Netanyahu. They don't speak kindly of him. In fact they go so far as to disparage him. They even say the Netanyahu was the guy who started Hamas. Hmmmm

"They even say the Netanyahu was the guy who started Hamas".
It was publically said (and so documented) by past and actual military and political leaders of Israel that the creation of Hamas was at least promoted and at least partially financed by Israeli State (or some of it´s branches).
It was thought as competence to the OLP in a way less tied to palestinian interests and identity and more like one more islamic political actor.
They also say that at the light of later history they NOW regret those actions and friendly talks.
Was Benjamin Netanyahu part of this? I have no certainty about but it wouldn´t be a big surprise.

@ElRengo Israel thought that by creating Hamas it would weaken the PLO.

@hippyjoe1955
That´s what I´ve said, yes (sorry for naming the PLO as OLP - the way we say it in Spanish).
Furthermore it seems (at least seems) to be consistent to some kind of long term view / "strategy" to dilute palestinians into a wider islamic / arab identity.
By now the 2nd step (probably not planned by 1988) is to equate palestinians with Hamas.

My take (a personal one) is never trust the powerful ones........

Well...... he is a politician. and politicians, whether they are on the left, right or center....... they are still politicians. i havent met many of them in any party that i care for much. from my experience we are just picking between the lesser of two evils.

@RileyLandS Go back and read what I wrote. I didn't make any claims one way or the other. I said that one guy I knew loved Netanyahu and that several commentators don't like him at all. You want to disagree with either side please go ahead. It doesn't affect me because the commentators opinions remain their opinions. You really need to learn to read. Sometimes an opinion is just an opinion. Is Netanyahu a good guy or a bad guy or is he a bit of both? You decide becasue I don't care what your opinion is.

You gotta wonder how this plan of attack slipped past the world's best intelligence agencies.

Same for me.. I was a bibi fan.
These past events reek of 9-11

Now we’re have to look at dead babies all day from each side in an attempt to get me to pick a side.. in some bullshit that can easily kick if a nuke war.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout he is corrupt as hell.

well he was real quick to kiss Biden's ass. I also heard Trump speak last week. he said Israel and BB stabbed him in the back. Israel backed out at the last minute in killing al bagdadi...(I am sure i slaughtered that)

Trump went out of his way to help BB.
