“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” Netanyahu told his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. “This is part of our strategy"
Quoting his own words? How very antisemitic of you.
Facts are anti-Semitic.
Facts don't care about my feelings, so facts should be illegal.
Ooh, a new cynical one-liner. I'm unironically excited about this.
Good. The whispers are so loud they barely even count as whispers.
Are we still going on about this? Yes, Israel is funding Hamas. They've been since the 90s.
I mean this is a known fact by now.
This is dumb. The evidence is clear. We know where everyone’s money is coming from and where it is ending up. This is stupid. 
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Hamas was financed by the Israeli government in an attempt to weaken the Palestinian Authority,” Borrell was quoted as saying by Spanish newspaper El País.
In his speech Friday, Borrell — who is in charge of EU foreign policy — also stressed that creating a Palestinian state is necessary in order to solve the ongoing conflict, according to the report.
Borrell’s comments came just days before EU foreign ministers are scheduled to hold several meetings with their counterparts from Israel, the Palestinian Authority and key Arab countries in Brussels.
The ministers are going to discuss on Monday the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, where Israeli troops have been carrying out a relentless bombing campaign and ground assault for months, and the prospects for a future peace settlement.
On Thursday, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza — on the condition that Hamas be dismantled and all hostages released.
Borrell, who has been the EU’s foreign policy chief since 2019, has a long track record of undiplomatic moments, including when he compared Europe to a “garden” and called the rest of the world a “jungle,” and the time he tweeted out a sensitive extradition-related document from U.K. authorities

Islamic countries: Hamas is actually an Israeli puppet!
Rest of the world: So should we stop supporting hamas right? If Hamas surrenders Israel loses if that's true right?
Islamic countries: Nah, they're our guys and we'll back them to the hilt. They can never surrender no matter how many Palestinians die!
