The arrogance and ignorance of this post Saying things like 'who are the Arabs to argue' is prime example of why foreigners hate Americans. Now I have a question for you who is Baron Rothschild to millions of Habeshas. Plus the fact that 'Orthodox' Jews do that weird version of circumcision shows that something is off about them too.
But they damn sure sponsored and facilitated Hamas' rise in a pretty cynical ploy to blunt the PLO.
So Israel is largely responsible for their existence and predominance in Gaza.
Yeah...unintended consequences, but consequences nonetheless.
Which is why the U.S. should stay out of it.
Yeah, the enemy of my enemy strategy has been a major flaw in our approach to the middle east. we have been bitten by that many times and we keep doing the same thing expecting the people we help to like us.
You do know that they are situated on the coast, don't ya? Blockade them you say, even the USA would have to put a stop to that on humanitarian reasons. Sooooo, not gonna happen.
Seriously? Then why has the US let it stay?
There has been a blockade in effect for several years now.
No imports into Gaza. They cannot bring building materials into Gaza, to repair homes and structures.
Obviously they did bring building materials into Gaza and instead of building up their infrastructure, they built underground attack tunnels to be used for mass murder and kidnapping of Israeli citizens.

Why do think Israel is largely responsible for Hamas existence and predominance in Gaza? Is it because Israel vacated Gaza in 2005 and then Hamas got elected into power in 2006 forming a joint government with Fatah and then ousting Fatah from Gaza in 2007?!

You don't know much about the conflict, do you?
1) everyone can leave Gaza and is encouraged to do so (although now its impossible because the war). Less population in the most crowded place is a boon to all.
2) the building materials imported from Israel (concrete) were used not for humanitarian purposes, but for building an amazing maze of war tunnels. Why should they be allowed to do so?
Back to OP: it is stupid to claim US is responsible in any way for establishing Hamas. Just another inane declaration from the doctor.
Starting 2010, imports are highly inspected, for weapons.
