Hamas Gaza Coup blamed on Israel, US

According to a MEMRI Special Dispatch The Gaza Coup Is the Result of an American-Israeli Plot.
That figures. In the Middle East, everything is blamed on the Jews, Israel or George Bush. That includes the 9-11 attacks, the London subway attacks, the corruption of the Fateh, the rise of the Hamas, AIDS, aging, malaria and the Hamsin winds.

 

For example:

 

Ali Akbar Velayati, a member of Iran's Foreign Relations Steering Council and international affairs advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, said in an interview with the conservative Iranian daily Jomhouri-ye Eslami: "Israel and America are behind the conflicts [in Gaza]. They wanted the Palestinians to be preoccupied with their own [problems], instead of with the struggle against Israel.

And here's another sample:

 

Syrian columnist Muhammad Khayr Al-Jamali wrote in the Syrian government daily
Al-Thawra that the civil war in Palestine is part of a Zionist-American plot
aimed at generating "creative chaos" and preparing the region for the
implementation of the New Middle East plan:

"The political disputes in Palestine and Iraq, which have almost become civil
wars, and the [political tensions] in Lebanon which are likewise exploited in
order to push it into the same situation, should not be regarded as separate
and unrelated developments. All these events result from a plot against the
Arab region, aimed at destabilizing it and igniting civil wars [motivated by]
political, sectarian and national [conflicts].

By the beard of the Prophet, these men must speak the truth, for are not the Jews at fault for everything in the world?

 

It is even stranger however, that the same or similar views are advanced by supposedly sane Americans, and even by some Israeli Jews.

 

Can't people give credit where it is due? The Hamas worked hard for this democratic win. They threw people off the roofs of buildings after shooting them in the kneecaps, they diced up people into steaks and shipped them to their families, they shot people in front of their families. They planned it for a long time and smuggled in arms through those tunnels, despite the fact that everyone insists that Israel is "choking" Gaza.

 

If Israel had not choked Gaza, what would Hamas have done then?
