The World Does Not Understand Israel's Conflict with Hamas
(International Business Times-UK) Janet Svirzenski - I live in Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak, four miles from the Gaza border. When I first moved here, we used to have 25 Palestinians from Gaza working in the kibbutz. When the Gaza war broke out a year ago we had already had two weeks of rocket attacks. Hamas started the war. When I saw the protests against the Gaza war in the UK and other countries last year, I felt there was little understanding of the conflict. People do not understand that it is Hamas who is the enemy of the Palestinian people. Hamas is taking the civilian population and putting it in front of bombs. It is not helping people to rebuild their homes, school and hospitals. We see the trucks passing into Gaza with construction materials and we don't see it being used to rebuild. Hamas is rebuilding the tunnels.
