That's quite a take.

The reason for funding was to create chaos, not to remove it. Why else do you fund a group that destabilises the area. Basically Israel wanted Gaza to be more chaotic as they felt it gave them more control.

The decision to pursue power and chaos as opposed to seeking resolution and a path to peace has had obvious consequences.

The consequence, a violent one, has been incremental land capture
It’s so interesting that you’ve taken away all agency from the Palestinians, or you believe as an absolute rule that giving someone money automatically makes them do chaotic evil things. And that the encourager of the monetary transaction (not the giver or recipient) is solely responsible for any harm or chaos that ensues.

This whole thread is so strange, people keep claiming Palestinians cannot be trusted to rule themselves, while at the same time accusing Israel of genocide for not giving them the ability to rule themselves.

It's interesting that you don't acknowledge what is commonly acknowledged. It's almost like you were pushing an agenda.
