Israel seeks to be waging a war of genocide against the Palestinians. They all continue to encroach on the West Bank. Are they hoping to provoke another Hamas type reaction that would justify the ethnic cleansing of the area? In retrospect (not always a good or practical thing I know) could it be that Netanyahu colluded in the build up of Hamas arms to enable the present situation to develop – he was hot prepared for the scale of tye Hamas attack. The USA has come running to his aid with not so veiled threats towards Hezbollah and Iran.
it seems that Israel has a carte blanche to totally destroy Hamas in its present format, and in doing so destroying the dwelings and lives of over a million Palestinians. From River to the Sea seems to be a more apt descrpition of Israeli actions than Palestian ones.
