I have yet to read an article that explains, in rational terms, the reasons for the "Palestinians'" anger, and those of the rest of the Muslim countries in the Middle East. It appears to this outsider that the main "occupation" of Muslim males is being pissed off. What are the industries in Gaza? Are there any? Or are they just a big welfare state, dependent on donations from outside (including from Israel) to survive?
This kerfuffle is worse than any in a long time, but the end is always the same. Israel will retaliate violently, as Hamas struggles to ensure that lots of pathetic civilians in Gaza are killed, and the international Press will condemn Israel for its atrocities.
The gamesmanship with the Hamas hostages will be dreadful, and unprecedented on this scale.
But where did Hamas get its missiles, arms, etc? Is Iran too obviously the source?
I will be content to blame all of it on Biden.
