Ok do you understand what an analogue is?
Perhaps Lemmy needs a "translate to simple English feature for you"
It's an apt comparison, there aren't many examples so on the nose about deliberately destabilizing secular groups and Islamist groups filling the power vacuum, only to become a more violent threat.
If you want you could compare it to the allied powers starving the Spanish Republic of resources, enabling the rise of the Nazis, but it's a bit of a stretch.
Also Hamas was empowered by the Israeli state by the distruction of secular opposition.
Not disimilar to how the US armed the Taliban & created a power vacuum for them to fill
You ever wonder what it would be like if you had self-esteem & were proud of your values instead of complaining about others having virtues?
If Israel don't like Hamas they shouldn't have created them
This is why nobody use conscripts, imagine an army that is all cops.
