1. Sharon's ability to use the Hamas group as a tool for destabilizing Jordan, ultimately overthrowing King Abdullah II and establishing Jordan as a "Palestinian homeland" under Hamas control. To this end, Sharon, who was instrumental in launching the Hamas movement, has dispatched his son as an emissary to the Islamist group. Key Hamas personnel have already been infiltrated into Jordan, in preparation for Sharon's provocation of war in the days or weeks ahead, the sources said.
In many ways, the Sharon-backed Hamas targetting of Jordan is a replay of 1970's "Black September" destabilization which involved Abu Nidal, long suspected of being an asset of British and Israeli intelligence.
In the 1970s, Hamas was built up by Israeli occupying forces as a "countergang" to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) of Yasser Arafat. Individuals who later emerged as Hamas leaders were granted licenses by Israeli authorities to set up food kitchens, clinics, schools, and day-care centers, to create a governing structure alternative to Arafat's Fatah.

Israel has persisted in trying to convince the EU that they should condition and monitor its funding to the PA to prevent misuse of its salary budget – which is partially funded by the EU. Israel presented Chris Patten with volumes of the PA's own documents that were captured by the IDF over the last year, which contained evidence that the PA initiated and paid for terror attacks against Israel and funded the Tanzim, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and even Hamas operatives. (Both Hamas and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades are recognized by the EU as terrorist organizations.)

Since Sharon became Israeli prime minister, Tel Aviv has mainly limited its practice of targeted killings to the West Bank and Gaza because "no one wanted such operations on their territory," a former Israeli intelligence official said.
Another former Israeli government official said that under Sharon, "diplomatic constraints have prevented the Mossad from carrying out 'preventive operations' (targeted killings) on the soil of friendly countries until now."
He said Sharon is "reversing that policy, even if it risks complications to Israel's bilateral relations."

So you're telling me my sources are not credible? Prove it.
You're also telling me such scenarios are impossible?
I guess you haven't heard of the CIA and its notorious record of doing so right?
Too bad.

ok, here are some other stories from your source:
"New Yorkers see 'Jesus' appear on city street"
"Sex abuse, brainwashing exposed on campus!"
"Learn about secret Aztlan plot "
sounds alot like headlines from the national enquirer to me...or do you consider the enquirer another respectible source?
and there you go again about evil america and its evil cia....still havent answered my question about where you are from heartagram. its real easy to criticize the US when you are too ashamed of your own nation to admit to being a citizen.

However, funding and pulling the strings on a group like Hamas that has operation so long simply does not seem realistic. Even if they for sake of argument started the organization, it would be quite easy for the peopel recruited to turn on thier masters so to speak and go rouge. Also operational security on this would be impossible IMHO.
I just do not see it. You could make a better case for well timed "suicide bombs" or attacks rather than a whole organization like Hamas

and the best part for them i think is, the palestinians dont even know where the funding is coming from. I dont find the idea immpossible at all, actually in this day and age, i find it quite possible....besides Israelis are on of the dirtiest players in the game
