Happy Wednesday!
I thought I would share some hilarious open source intelligence I’ve come across this morning.
Before we get started, let’s take a moment to remember what the four horsemen of the apocalypse—UK, France, Australia, Canada—recognised as statehood. They can’t ever live this down.
Now let’s see what today’s Gaza scam hilarity brings us, shall we?
First, per a BBC article, Kier Starmer thinks his recognition of Palestinian statehood helped secure a peace deal.
Second, it looks like many Gazans enjoy a pretty sweet life, and they brag about it in IG reels. Brand new Adidas, haircut and iPhone, shopping trip through a gleaming, fully stocked mall — all in stark contrast to the wokifada narrative pushed in the west. And Gazans post themselves about their fabulous shiny life on a western social media platform.
Third, a café in Gaza opened recently and called itself Nova, after the 7/10 massacre. The global outrage following the exposure by Imshin caused the café to change its name to Wanas Restaurant.
Fourth, we have Extremist group Saraya Ansar al Sunna threatens Alawite & Christian communities in Syria with suicide attacks and car bombs “until Islam prevails” across Syria and then Jerusalem.”
Fifth, we have orphan data from Hamas that reveals males killed at a rate of at least six times females, indicating that Hamas cooked the numbers to remove adult male combatants from their records to promote the genocide narrative.
Sixth, we have reports from hostage survivors that civilians participated in their captivity. In an interview with Times of Israel, Tal Shoham reported that “most of them [meaning his Palestinian captors] were “not soldiers. One of the guards was a first-grade teacher, another was a lecturer at a university, and another was a doctor. These are normal people becoming terrorists.”
Finally, we have Rachel Gilmore being her bubble-headed self. Anyone familiar with the flow of money that has supported Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood activism in the US (and Canada) finds Rachel’s stupidity delusional, ridiculous, annoying. Rachel apparently thinks it’s okay for Samidoun, a listed terrorist organisation in Canada, to have federal non profit status in Canada.
Honourable mention goes to the eternally delusion who blame Israel for the mishaps and violence of Hamas and other gangster thugs in Gaza.
Here’s a factual account of the history of Hamas vis à vis Israeli regime. Courtesy Larry Brandt on Facebook, however all these facts have been widely documented by multiple sources and I myself wrote about it a a year and a half or so ago.
The short answer is: Israel did not “create” Hamas, but its policies in the 1970s and 1980s indirectly helped Hamas rise as a counterweight to the secular Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and Fatah.
Here’s what’s known and well-documented:
1. Historical Background
• In the 1970s and early 1980s, Israel saw the Islamist movements in Gaza — especially those linked to Sheikh Ahmed Yassin (who later founded Hamas) — as a useful counterbalance to the PLO, which was then Israel’s main enemy and a secular nationalist group.
• Israel permitted and even encouraged Yassin’s charity and religious network, called Mujama al-Islamiya, to operate freely in Gaza while cracking down on the PLO.
• These networks built schools, mosques, and welfare services, winning local support.
2. Official Formation of Hamas
• Hamas was officially founded in December 1987, after the First Intifada began.
• Its charter combined Islamic ideology (rooted in the Muslim Brotherhood) with armed resistance against Israel.
• By that time, Israel realized it had nurtured a movement it could no longer control — one far more militant and religiously driven than the secular PLO.
3. What Israeli Officials Have Admitted
• Several former Israeli military and intelligence officers have later said Israel “helped build up” Hamas indirectly.
• For example, Avner Cohen, a former Israeli official in Gaza, said in a 2009 interview:
“Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation.”
• He meant that Israel’s early tolerance of Yassin’s Islamist movement allowed it to grow.
• The U.S. and European intelligence community have documented similar dynamics — not that Israel founded Hamas, but that its early strategy backfired.
4. Why This Theory Persists
• The idea that Israel “created” Hamas persists because, in practice, Israel’s early support weakened the PLO, and Hamas later became Israel’s more extreme adversary.
• Today, some even argue Israel still benefits politically from Hamas’ existence — since a divided Palestinian leadership (Hamas in Gaza, Fatah in the West Bank) makes peace negotiations more difficult and prevents a unified Palestinian state.
In summary:
• True: Israel indirectly fostered Hamas’ rise by supporting Islamist groups as a counterweight to the PLO in the 1970s–1980s.
• False: Israel did not literally form or control Hamas. The group’s ideology, leadership, and evolution were always homegrown and rooted in the Muslim Brotherhood.
Islamic terrorists don’t want peace. They don’t want to disarm. They don’t want to have order and calm. Islamist terrorists such as Hamas and the various clans in Gaza want chaos, they have bloodlust, they have a thirst for death and carnage and they’ll kill anyone in their path. If they can’t kill Jews then they’ll kill Muslims, they’ll kill Palestinians, they’ll kill Gazans.
Remember the survey I reported on recently? Palestinians want this life, they want armed struggle and they’ll kill Gazans don’t want Hamas removed from power.
So, most of us feel exasperated and have lost our patience with protests like the ones taking place in Montreal.
G-d helps those who help themselves.
Happy hump day, readers.
