Israel supported Hamas as an opposition to the PLO
the PLO didn’t fucking exist anymore when Hamas being supported by the Israeli government, Hamas started out as a humanitarian aid group affiliated with the Muslim brotherhood and radicalized before the second intifada, they were supported to undermine the PA who had been created as part of the Oslo Accords (that Israel then ignored), the most prominent example f this being when the IDF conducted air strikes against Fatah (the actual PA government) during the Hamas - Fatah civil war.
Yes the Israeli government helped create Hamas to undermine any attempt at negotiation towards a two-state solution, and a few dead Jews are no biggie, in fact they died as martyrs to justify genocide, you know eggs and omelets, this isn’t out of the ordinary behavior for genocidal regimes.
First off, you haven’t answered my question about why Iran is funding Hamas and Hezbollah if they don’t want genocide. Second, the PLO still exists. Supporting Hamas was a massive failure, but they didn’t do it to kill their own people.

the same reason why the US funded Alquaeda.
secondly, that “PLO” is inconsequential and doesn’t have any actual connection to the original PLO.
and lastly, you assume that extremists like the current Israeli government care about people’s lives, and i very clearly stated that Israel supported Hamas to delegitimize the PA and avoid a two-state solution, and you don’t have to take my word for it, the fucking Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this.
I can’t find a credible source confirming that. And even if they did, that wouldn’t make Iran’s funding of Hamas and Hezbollah any less genocidal. Fair point on the origins of Hamas, though.
