    Bibi gave Bibi bibi’s wish. In about 30 years when the full story is out and after gaza is abandoned by Palestine for being wholely unlivable we will almost certainly find Israeli money in hamas pockets that was funneled through iran by third parties.

      Hamas came to power, really came to power by working with Bibi who was trying to unseat Perez. A two state solution looked very likely, and Perez and Arafat could have made it happen. Perez was in the lead, and Israel was still backing the two state solution.

      At that time, Hamas waged a campaign of suicide bombings and bombed buses full of civilians. This delivered a less than 1% victory margin to Bibi, who would have lost otherwise. Arafat helped Hamas by not cracking down on them as Israel was asking (bc it was politically unpopular with the Palestinians), and inadvertently helped them get rid of Perez, the two state solution, and ironically himself from leadership. Bibi exists because Hamas wanted him there and theyve been bedfellows ever since.
