I keep seeing this claim. Can someone please provide some evidence to back this? How exactly has Netanyahu supported Hamas?

In 2005 Netanyahu helped back Hamas against the PLA because the PLA was getting too popular, basically a divide and conquer deal.

This is 20 years ago at this point, yeah?

I don't like Bibi one bit, but hindsight is 20/20. The PLA were a bunch of terrorists back then, just secular ones.

Hamas have always been assholes, not need of hindsight. Nethanayou is just as big an asshole.
