The PLO wanted peace, Israel funded Hamas to undermine Arrafat. Again, you’re nothing short of an imbecile to think Israel is the victim. They have long been governed by far right extremists that want to carry out genocide against their enemies.
If that’s what you want, then fair enough. But cut the BS about Israel being the victim.
The "PLO wanted peace" when, exactly? It certainly doesn't show in their '65 charter which asserts Israel has no right to exist and calls for an Arab coalition to destroy the state. Aside from that
minor detail, the history of the PLO has been a malignant, disruptive force threatening not just the existence of Israel, but other governments as well. Following the Six Day War the PLO tried to draw Israel and Jordan into conflict by launching attacks from within the Jordanian border. The PLO hoped a Soviet-backed Syrian/Egyptian coalition would enable them to assume control of Jordan.
Arafat's PLO was expelled from Jordan and subsequently headquartered in Lebanon, able to form their own population bloc due to the flood of Pale-Arabs who fled during the Six Day War. There, Arafat's plan worked better, drawing Israel into invading Lebanon to prevent PLO attacks being launched from there.
Arafat continually blew off U.S. recognition and attempts to broker deals, even when his
publicly stated goals were within grasp. Obviously, his statements for public consumption were not where his black heart really lay.
Further, the Pale-Arabs have backed one losing "throw the Jews into the sea" regime/coalition after another. Even before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Al-Husseini and Hitler were joined by - you guessed it - a common love for Jew-hating, Al-Husseini even convinced they and the Nazis shared an Aryan lineage. They went all in with the losing side in every Arab-Israeli conflict. Backed Saddam in the Kuwait invasion. In fact, it's almost as if they're shorting winning picks.
I never claimed or implied Israel is "a victim"; you invented that goofiness in your head. They are, however, surrounded by and infiltrated with enemies who still seek their destruction and who should be put down like rabid dogs when they attack. That's the only way they've survived their neighborhood.
As others have noted, if "genocide" is Israel's intent, they're damned incompetent since they certainly possess to power to have disappeared the Pale-Arabs long ago. Tip: hyperbolic misapplication of words nullifies conversation and language to having no meaning. That
you consider others an 'imbecile' is grand irony.
