Hezbollah and Hamas

Among the most preposterous claims by "moderate" Arabs like Taleb are that Israel created Hamas and Hezbollah. Granted, I know nothing of the region, but this strikes me as absurd as saying that Abraham Lincoln created the Ku Klux Klan. These fools seem to think Arabs have no agency in these matters.

UPDATE: These takes require believing two things at once - Israeli's are evil geniuses capable of manipulating events to create bastardized homegrown "movements" in neighboring Lebanon and Gaza. But at the same time, they are so stupid that they've created lethal foes who plot to murder their children and destroy the state. I guess that's why people say such things are anti-semitic, especially when coupled with admiration for countries like Iran, etc.
