Is Ha'aretz now - "Hamas Propaganda", too?

Hmm, if I were to guess the reason why Netanyahu said this, it would be because Hamas is generally judged in a vacuum as an organization that wants to terrorize Israel for no reason instead of due to the fact that it’s a fascist ethnostate placed on top of a sovereign nation by foreign powers. Secretly funding them would make them more powerful, and therefore give Israel more propaganda to work with. However, Haaretz is also in on this propaganda, so my answer would be no.

https://www.thehandstand.org/archive/jan2002/EdcellJan2002/rezeq/ - this article explains it pretty well. The historical relationship is pretty consistent. The PLO was multi-ethnic and pan-Arab socialist. Hamas is an (Sunni/Wahabi) Islamist sectarian group that breaks the unity of Palestinian resistance, in theory - though it seems that the Palestinian street has just moved in that direction. The PLO became corrupted and captured, and now is the collaborationist PA.

The real threat, at this point, is folks like Marwan Barghouti (currently being held without charges, in Administrative Detention), and left groups like the PFLP. They undermine the Zionists' preferred (fraudulent) narrative about the conflict being one of Islam vs. Judaism - ala Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" thesis. The argument becomes - 'we can't have a 2-State Solution - because there's no one who wants peace, to bargain with, on the Palestinian side'.

I’ll definitely check it out when I have the time. Thanks!

Is it ham*s propaganda to say that using jews for money is wrong?
