He examined the long history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how US foreign policy plays a big role, drawing on his research into how Israel has repeatedly rejected peace negotiations with Hamas on multiple occasions. 

He also spoke about the foundations of Zionism, the formation of Hamas, and that the majority of Jews in Israel support ethnic cleansing.

Watch the following short video:

In other words, Israel boosted Hamas to thwart any hopes of a two-state solution, and wanted to be attacked so that it had a reason to flatten Gaza.

'Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas.'  
  
— Benjamin Netanyahu (2019)
