and any attack of any kind would be attributed to Hamas. We know what they are but it is surprising throughout all of these many months we never read any confrontation of any kind being the other armed groups that we know are and have been operating in Gaza. It is always just labeled as Hamas when in fact those groups are not necessarily tightly controlled by Hamas. But lazy ignorant reporting by media or desired propaganda ends up using a single label to apply to something that should be reported for the group it is because those groups have different benefactors/suppliers in the Middle East and people would better understand the multi-faceted problem and why just saying "eliminate Hamas" isn't addressing the problem in a comprehensive way.

But some people choose to see it as "Cowboys versus Indians" because it's easier to do so. Understanding in a deeper way would show that some of the dealings of the US government and others with some of those benefactors of other groups should get more scrutiny. But Netanyahu wants to portray Crumb The 1st as this huge friend to Israel so we get nothing along the lines of deeper analysis. I don't believe in having friends who court neo-Nazis while claiming to be supportive of Israel. I don't believe in having friends who knowingly engage in enriching regimes and themselves while knowing that those regimes are funding terrorist groups.

To do so trades off the lives of people as though this is a game of some sort and it demeans the lives of those who are killed and wounded. Netanyahu could have stopped this a long time ago and gotten many more hostages out while they were alive. He chose not to for his self-interest.
