How can any self respecting Jew support Netanyahu?

How is he different than Hamas if he supports Hamas and the death of Jewish people for political goals?

Mr. Netanyahu is “the father of the concept of strengthening Hamas,” said retired Major General.Gadi Shamani, a former commander of the military’s Gaza Division.

“The MO of Netanyahu’s policy since his return to the Prime Minister’s Office in 2009 has and continues to be, on the one hand, bolstering the rule of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and, on the other, weakening the Palestinian Authority,” Mr. Raz noted.

“When Netanyahu declared in April 2019…that ‘we have restored deterrence with Hamas’ and that ’we have blocked the main supply routes,’ he was lying through his teeth. For over a decade, Netanyahu has lent a hand…to the growing military and political power of Hamas. Netanyahu is the one who turned Hamas from a terror organization with few resources into a semi-state body,” Mr. Raz added.

”Netanyahu knew that Hamas was not going to use the money for the welfare of Gaza’s children or for modernising the Strip, but rather for building tunnels and purchasing weapons, turning Gaza into a Spartan state at war with Israel. Yet still, he did it for the sake of eliminating the possibility of a two-state solution,” Mr. Raz said.

In doing so, Mr. Netanyahu and assassinated Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar did each other’s bidding. Both men opposed ending the conflict in anything but a zero-sum game, rejected a two-state solution, and dealt in death to achieve their goals.

“Revenge is the logic of Sinwar and Netanyahu,” Mr. Raz said.

In a 2018 Hebrew-language note to Mr. Netanyahu’s then-national security advisor, Meir Ben Shabbat,  Mr. Sinwar, who learned Hebrew during his 22 years in Israeli prison, appeared to call the suitcase arrangement a “calculated risk.”
Mr. Sinwar was one of 1,027 Palestinians released from prison in 2011 on Mr. Netanyahu’s watch in exchange for Hamas-held Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.

Mr. Raz and senior Israelis, including former Prime Minister Naftali Bennet, former Deputy Prime Minister Avigdor Lieberman, and former Defense Minister Benny Gantz, charged that Mr. Netanyahu would go to any length to ensure Hamas’s survival.

In one instance during the 2014 Gaza war, the former officials said Mr. Netanyahu sought to prevent an invasion of the Strip by leaking the military’s top-secret presentation to the security Cabinet of its potential consequences.

Last year, Mr. Lieberman accused Mr. Netanyahu of blocking targeted assassinations of Hamas leaders.

A slew of former political leaders, military commanders, and intelligence chiefs, including Ehud Barak and Gadi Eisenkot, have echoed assertions of Mr. Netanyahu’s enabling of Hamas over the past year.

Speaking to lawmakers of his Likud party in 2019, Mr. Netanyahu defended his policy. “Whoever opposes a Palestinian state must support the transfer of funds from Qatar to Hamas,” Mr. Netanyahu said.
