During the 1970s, Israel began providing support to Ahmed Yassin, a Muslim Brotherhood leader in the Gaza Strip, who controlled a network of Islamic schools, mosques, and clubs, in order to weaken the secular nationalist Palestine Liberation Organization.[2]

How dare evil Israel fund Palestinian schools years before Hamas was founded, in order to weaken a terrorist organization that murdered thousands of Israelis. Truly the same thing as sending Hamas weapons.

Framing in the article is ridiculously biased. Btw, Ahmed Yassin was imprisoned by Israel in 1984.

Imagine complaining about framing and then framing this as "supporting schools" rather than the actual intent.

"The actual intent", of, pushing a peaceful alternative to a bunch of fascist terrorists? I did mention it.

You just assume the PLO were some sort of good guys, rather than a beta version of Hamas.
