Hamas is corrupt and has historically received financial support from Netanyahu and furthered his interests.
Hamas has always publicly stated its commitment to eliminating the state of Israel. But each payout was a testament to the Israeli government’s view that Hamas was a low-level nuisance, and even a political asset.
As far back as December 2012, Mr. Netanyahu told the prominent Israeli journalist Dan Margalit that it was important to keep Hamas strong, as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Mr. Margalit, in an interview, said that Mr. Netanyahu told him that having two strong rivals, including Hamas, would lessen pressure on him to negotiate toward a Palestinian state.
Assertions of Israeli support for Hamas date back to the late 1970s and early 1980s, a period marked by significant political upheaval in the Middle East. Former Israeli officials have openly acknowledged Israel’s role in providing funding and assistance to Hamas as a means of undermining secular Palestinian factions such as the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Brigadier General Yitzhak Segev, who served as the Israeli military governor in Gaza during the early 1980s, admitted to providing financial assistance to Mujama Al-Islamiya, the precursor of Hamas, on the instruction of the Israeli authorities.
At a Likud party conference in 2019, Benyamin Netanyahu said: “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas… This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”
The word Hamas is in a different font than the rest. It looks like the meme used to say a different group, but it was edited to say Hamas instead. Putting Hamas in the same category as the IRA isn’t fair. The IRA didn’t take money from England. The IRA were actually feared by the tyrants they fought.

Drag promises not to get all political in the comments of your meme
The word Hamas is in fact in the same font and seems to fit the spacing of the rest of the text pretty perfectly
OK are we going to fight over font and spacing at this dinner table.
Its not political so I guess its fair game? :D
Hamas was supported by Israel to fight Fatah, not the PA. The Palestinian Authority is an Israeli puppet.
