Use fear to control the sheep; Create enemies
Well, when the 'Evil Empire' known as The Soviet Union crumbled under the weight of it's own corrupt Marxist government. The ("free") world needed a new Boogeyman.
The 'Islamic Extremist'
Quote:
According to former U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Charles Freeman, Shin Bet�the Israeli counter-intelligence and internal security service� knowingly created Hamas:Israel started Hamas. It was a project of Shin Bet, which had a feeling that they could use it to hem in the PLO.
Anti War reported in 2006:
Amid all the howls of pain and gnashing of teeth over the triumph of Hamas in the Palestinian elections, one fact remains relatively obscure, albeit highly relevant: Israel did much to launch Hamas as an effective force in the occupied territories. If ever there was a clear case of �blowback,� then this is it. As Richard Sale pointed out in a piece for UPI:
�Israel and Hamas may currently be locked in deadly combat, but, according to several current and former U.S. intelligence officials, beginning in the late 1970s, Tel Aviv gave direct and indirect financial aid to Hamas over a period of years. Israel �aided Hamas directly � the Israelis wanted to use it as a counterbalance to the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization),� said Tony Cordesman, Middle East analyst for the Center for Strategic [and International] Studies. Israel�s support for Hamas �was a direct attempt to divide and dilute support for a strong, secular PLO by using a competing religious alternative,� said a former senior CIA official.�
