One of the most persistent and pernicious libels: "BUUUUT Israel created Hamas!!!”
Every time I hear folks say that as though they have just produced a work of triumphant genius, my soul withers.

  What is Hamas? What to know about its origins, leaders and funding
  
  The Palestinian militant group has struggled to govern Gaza and remains committed to violently resisting Israel. Its surprise attack against Israel in 2023 threatens a wider conflagration in the Middle East.

  @TonyStark Biden made lifting Palestinians out of poverty high priority. https://mastodon.social/@cat_static/111540481405044445

    Attached: 1 image @lukevanin@noc.social I'd like to add that despite the cries of #GenocideJoe, on the 6th day of his presidency, he reestablished a relationship with Palestine. He pledged to reverse funding and programs eliminated by Trump, which began by April 2021 and continues. Who benefits by framing #Biden as genocidal? Those who oppose democracy are my guess. #russiaukrainewar #IsraelHamasWar #GOP https://www.npr.org/sections/biden-transition-updates/2021/01/26/960900951/biden-administration-restores-aid-to-palestinians-reversing-trump-policy https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/08/middleeast/us-palestinians-funds-intl/index.html https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/07/14/fact-sheet-the-united-states-palestinian-relationship/ https://www.usaid.gov/west-bank-and-gaza

    Most of Gaza is poor, but Hamas has cash. Where does it come from?
    
    from NBCNews
    
    Hamas has an investment portfolio of real estate and other assets worth $500 million, say experts, and an annual military budget of as much as $350 million.
