Did Hamas Start the Gaza War?
What if? I’m thinking the unthinkable but why not? So, here goes.
We know or we believe we know that Israel didn’t see the Hamas attack coming until after it came. We know or at least we believe we know that the Hamas terrorists went after school kids, shot them, mutilated them, did terrible things to every Jew they could find. We know or at least we know that this was the worst slaughter of Jews in any place or at any time since the Holocaust happened before and during World War II.
So, that’s been the Fake News storyline all week long. And I’d be willing to go along with it except for one little thing. Namely, that I have yet to see any proof to back up any of those statements which are the current and unquestioned narrative on virtually every TV and cable network since the whole Near East mess began to occur.
And worse, this narrative is being used to explain and justify what appears to be an attempt by Israel to wipe Hamas off the face of the Earth, or at least reduce their legally occupied physical location to rubble and dust.
That’s right. If the Fake News would like you to believe that we are witnessing a dispute between a legally constituted government (Israel) versus a bunch of terrorist thugs (Hamas), then you will be believing an analysis of the current Near East conflict which is simply not true.
