Military industrial complex says gay rights
It’s important to note that hamas used to be funded by Israel, because they considered islamists to be a usefull counterweight to the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) which was dominated by secular and marxist forces.
From wikipedia :
In 1973, Yassin founded the social-religious charity al-Mujama al-Islamiya (“Islamic center”) in Gaza as an offshoot to the Muslim Brotherhood.[116][117] The Israeli authorities encouraged Yassin’s charity to expand as they saw it as a useful counterbalance to the secular Palestine Liberation Organization.[90][118][119][120] Yitzhak Segev, who was the Israeli military governor of Gaza at the time, recalled that they even funded his charity: “The Israeli government gave me a budget, and the military government gives to the mosques”.[121] Israel’s religious affairs official in Gaza, Avner Cohen, later regretfully concluded that Hamas was created by Israel. He claimed to have warned his superiors not to back the Islamists.[122]
This article from the Wall Street Journal is also a good background-reading about the funding of hamas by Israel.
