So the UGGs Sheepskin Cuff Boots Senate on Thursday passed by voice vote a resolution blindly
supporting Israeli attacks on Gaza and heaping derision on Hamas.
This craven display should awaken anyone who sanguinely assumed that “everything changed” on November
4.
The resolution contained numerous twists of history, but the most glaring absurdity is the following:
“Whereas Hamas was founded with the stated goal of destroying Israel…”
Perhaps the senators were in a rush to collect campaign contributions, so they did not have time to
glance at the history of how Hamas arose to power.
Hamas was created with massive aid from the Israeli government. Following is an excerpt from my
Terrorism & Tyranny (2003):
Perhaps the single largest mistake in the history of the Israeli government’s long war on terrorism
was its covert financing, cosseting, and arming of Hamas, the Islamic resistance movement. Israeli
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon denounced Hamas as “the deadliest terrorist group that we have ever had to
face.” But the Israeli government is reticent about admitting its role in creating this Frankenstein.
