once again another deflection
the Israeli regime supported the terrorist group hamas over a protracted period of time, at the highest levels...
i'm not sure what the big deal is.
quite frankly i have not even looked into it, i am however assuming what you say is in fact correct and accurate.
this happens all the time all over the world.
at a point in time many nations supported the nationalist party here under the assumption it was in their strategic interests at the time. as things developed here, other nations realised it was no longer in their strategic interests to continue the support, but instead looking forward, switched to supporting the anc and other liberation movements.
a bit further north - zimbabwe.
rhodesia at the time enjoyed the support of the uk.
then as thing were getting a little too warm, switched to supporting mugabe and his movement.
much later down the line as things went off the rails with mugabe & co, support for mugabe came to an end.
this repeats itself across nations looking to secure their strategic interests.
israel is no different.
there would have been a point in time where it was thought supporting hamas made strategic sense - then later down the line as things evolved it not longer made sense and there was no benefit to be derived from supporting what was becoming the enemy
