Assange : Western adventurism created ISIS, Israel behind Hamas

Julian Assange has given an interview to an Argentinian paper from his Ecuadorian embassy asylum where he spent more than 1,000 days. He spoke about why US meddling in Ukraine led to civil war, how the West helped ISIS and Israel supported Hamas.”

The United States has spent 'a lot of time trying to bring Ukraine to the West,' the WikiLeaks founder said in an interview to Pagina/12, Argentinian newspaper on Monday.”

Meddling of Western countries in the Middle East led to creation of the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS), an Islamist group that is currently gaining a massive following across the wider Middle East and Africa, Assange said. 'The IS is a direct result of the adventurism of the West,' Assange said. He says the 'adventurism' of Western countries has already destroyed the Libyan and Syrian society and now is 'destroying Iraq for oil and other geopolitical reasons.'”

The WikiLeaks founder accused Israeli authorities of supporting Hamas group at its early stages in order to divide the Palestinian resistance. 'Our cables reveal that Israel supported Hamas in its infancy, that Hamas was used as an instrument to divide the Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] and the Palestinian resistance,' Assange told the paper.”
