Seven Decades of Billionaire-Zionist Violent Ethnic Cleansing of Palestinians = A GIANT FALSE FLAG OPERATION to Create a Bogeyman Enemy for Controlling Israeli Jews
Justified anger at the recent Hamas terrorism needs to be directed at those who fomented and profit from it, which is both Hamas AND the Israeli ruling class
Let’s Put The Purpose of the Hamas Terrorist Attack on Non-combatant Israeli Civilians in its Larger Perspective
The purpose of a false flag attack orchestrated by a ruling class is to make one's own population believe that they are under attack by a foreign (or "other" in some sense) enemy. The purpose is to create fear of a bogeyman enemy so that, by pretending to be protecting one's population from that enemy, one can thereby make them submit to your authority in the name of patriotism.
This is EXACTLY what the seven decades of Zionist violent ethnic cleansing of Palestinians (see details about it at https://www.pdrboston.org/israel-s-government-attacks-palestinians ) has accomplished for the billionaire ruling class of Israel (as I show in detail at https://www.pdrboston.org/israel-s-government-attacks-jews-to .) The purpose of this violent ethnic cleansing has always been (for the billionaire class--or the wannabe billionaire class at the beginning of it) to make the Palestinians be a frightening bogeyman enemy. For the ruling class of Israel, peace with the Palestinians is absolutely the LAST thing they want: it would lead to the overthrow of the billionaire class, as my linked article above demonstrates.
So, in this larger perspective, it is virtually OBVIOUS that the Israeli ruling class WANTED Hamas to carry out its suicide bombings in the past and then later its rocket attacks on Israeli non-combatant civilians.
And it is obvious that Israel's funding of Hamas (that I document at https://www.pdrboston.org/israel-funds-hamas-keeps-it-in-power ) has, despite the bogus excuses of Israel’s leaders, been for the purpose of making the bogeyman enemy maximally frightening. And this certainly includes the most recent Hamas terrorism against Israeli civilians. In the above-linked article I show that, as Israel’s leaders surely know, Israeli massacres of people in Gaza STRENGTHEN, not weaken, Hamas’s control of the Palestinians there. Hamas leaders and Israeli leaders thus have a tacit alliance to keep both of them in power over their own people.
HAMAS Is the ENEMY of Ordinary Palestinians
As I discuss in https://www.pdrboston.org/israeli-leaders-hamas-need-each-oth :
The ordinary people who live in Mandate Palestine are in a carefully laid trap. The only way to escape the trap is to first understand that it exists and then to deliberately escape from it, by rejecting the entire "religious war" framework that the trap depends upon.
When Palestinians engage in actions that are attempts to return to the region of Palestine, now called Israel, that Zionists drove them out of, and when they fight back against the Israeli military who block their path, they strengthen the anti-Zionist movement: they make it clear to the world--and to Israeli Jews--that their aim is not to "drive the Jews into the sea" or "kill all the Jews" but to be allowed to exercise their Right of Return. But Hamas's aim is the contrary one, to weaken the anti-Zionist movement by doing things such as firing rockets at Israeli civilians that tell the world it does indeed view ordinary Israeli Jews as the enemy.
Look at what Hamas does when ordinary Palestinians try to exercise their Right of Return. In 2011 Palestinians in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank marched to the Israeli border and tried to enter Israel. Israeli military forces fired on them; no surprise. But Hamas also tried to block the Palestinians. As The Columbus Dispatch (and others) reported:
"In Gaza, the Hamas police stopped buses carrying protesters near the main crossing into Israel, but dozens of demonstrators continued on foot, arriving at a point closer to the Israeli border than they had reached in years and drawing Israeli fire."
In 2018 Palestinians in Gaza began the wonderful Great March of Return: wonderful because it told the world that the true aim of Palestinians is to be allowed to enjoy their Right of Return, not to "kill all the Jews." The only violence by Palestinians was in clear self-defense against the Israeli military that was using violence to deny them their Right of Return. The initiative for this mass action of Palestinians, however, did not come from Hamas but from other Palestinians. Hamas could not prevent it from happening because it was such a popular action, but Hamas tried to end it when it could. As Wikipedia states,
"The first demonstrations were organized by independent activists, but the initiative was soon endorsed by Hamas,[19] the de facto rulers of the Gaza Strip, as well as other major factions in Gaza. The activists who planned the Great March of Return intended it to last only from 30 March 2018 (Land Day) to 15 May (Nakba Day) but the demonstrations continued for almost 18 months until Hamas on 27 December 2019 announced that they would be postponed.[1]" [my emphasis—JS]
Oppressive Ruling Elites Create Bogeyman Enemies to Control their Own People ALL OF THE TIME
By the way, the fact that ruling elites deliberately create bogeyman enemies is evident in LOTS of different countries and circumstances for a very long time, as I document at https://www.pdrboston.org/oppressors-need-bogeyman-enemies . It is standard operating procedure for oppressive ruling classes.
HAMAS is a FALSE FLAG ORGANIZATION
The recent Hamas terrorism is undoubtedly a false flag. The Zionist ruling class has worked seven decades to make it happen, not to mention paying Hamas to do it now and ALLOWING Hamas to do it, as this Israeli explains very clearly in this video:

The Issue is NOT Violence versus Non-Violence, but Race/Ethnic War versus Class War
The Palestinians, like all oppressed people, have a perfect right to use violence in self-defense against those who oppress them violently. This has nothing in common with violence deliberately directed against non-combatant civilians.
Years ago I wrote about this in an article titled “What Would it Look Like if Hamas and Hezbollah Fought a Class War?” at https://www.pdrboston.org/what-if-hamas-fought-a-class-war .
Please read here — https://www.newdemocracyworld.org/old/War/noncombatants.htm —the eloquent explanation by a great Palestinian (now a fugitive from Israel), Azmi Bishara, why terrorism (violence against non-combatant civilians) is not resistance and resistance is not terrorism. This article also discusses how the great majority of Muslims world wide oppose terrorism violence against noncombatant civilians.
The purpose of HAMAS is to enable Zionist leaders to falsely persuade the world that Palestinian resistance to Zionist ethnic cleansing is terrorism. Don’t let the Zionist leaders get away with this.
