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.
