The evil death cult Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip in June of 2007 after fighting in the streets once they lost the election for governmental control. They have since that time brought terror to the community they supposedly "represent," and have destroyed any chance of economic growth by waging constant terror attacks on Israel.
Hamas being the so very brave "fighters" that they are, choose to hide their missile batteries inside schools, hospitals, mosques and within residential districts. They do this because they WANT the Israelis to kill women and children when the Israelis are forced to respond to thousands of rockets being fired into Israel.
We did a podcast on May 10th praising the Abraham Accords as a phenomenal step on the way to regional peace. On the same day, hours after our podcast aired, Hamas started firing rockets into Israel. It is our view - cutting through all the messy details - that while this ongoing conflict is awful for all involved, that this may actually be a case of it being darkest before the dawn. Hamas has fewer and fewer sympathizers as the older generation gives way to young people who are bored with this never-ending nonsense, so they are trying to revitalize interest in their "cause" by firing rockets into Israel which they HOPE will result in Israelis mistakenly injuring or killing children and women in the inevitable military operation which follows.
We hope everyone in the region is not as stupid as many New Yorkers and Londoners marching in the streets "for Palestine," at least four Jew-Hating Democrat members of Congress and a couple of pampered supermodels, none of whom are in the actual line of fire on either side of the missile barrage.
