Please don't forget that the latest escalation in violence between Hamas and Israel started about a month ago when 3 teenagers were kidnapped and murdered by veteran Hamas operatives. There were 44 abduction attempts by Hamas in the last year and a half.


Why does Foreign Policy start off their report on the Hamas war with Israel with:  
Tens of thousands of Palestinians are fleeing their homes in northern Gaza in anticipation of an escalation of Israel's attacks on the territory.
rather than announcing all of Israel is under attack and if only Hamas and it's affiliates would stop bombing Israel, their own people would be out of peril. Nor does it explain that Palestinian women and children die in airstrikes because Hamas stores rocket launchers next to schools. At least Israel warns its enemy before an attack to prevent civilian casualties, unlike the Palestinians that officially target millions of civilians.
