Do you think this conflict was initiated especially for this?

After all, Hamas is a creation of Israel to divide Palestine and keep the conflict going.

In fairness, they did specifically want Hamas to be in power to de-legitimise the idea of a Palestinian state and worked to help get rid of the more secular government of the time. As ever, that then comes back to bite them in the arse like the USA and… most regimes that it has installed a despot/religious zealot in for short term gain.

I disagree with that part of their comment, but I think there’s a bigger issue with asking:

Do you think this conflict was initiated especially for this?

Which is definitely, hazardously close to “Was the mass shooting staged” or “Did Bush order 9/11”

Yeah the “just asking questions” and “isn’t it convenient…” stuff never sits well with me

I think they’re just looking for the best excuse they can find, and this happens to be it. (The argument isn’t even particularly compelling, because Gaza is subject to obscene amounts of surveillance, and that didn’t do any good.) If not this, then surely something else.

This is the same legislation that was created after the September 11 attacks, and it’s pretty common knowledge at this point that the USA was funding Osama Bin Laden. Likewise, I definitely don’t think the USA engineered 9/11, but they contributed vast effort to the circumstances that ended up creating them. Extremism can come out of something as simple as desperatiom.
