Yes, but I think it's important to separate Benjamin Netnyahu as he went to the extreme during a period of time where we knew the Hamas is "serious". Previously Israel supported the Muslim Brotherhood, that was dumb. But they wanted Jihad "in the future". Also the PLO was still a terrorist organization back then.
Netnyahu promoted the Hamas when the PLO abandoned terrorism and when the Hamas was known for extremely violent mass murder (exploding busses etc.). He's a special kind of idiot a*hole.

- invalidname 3y agoI'm saying that since the 90s this was almost entirely due to one guy. Other leaders from his party (e.g. Ariel Sharon, Ehud Olmert, etc.) didn't take the same approach.
