Hamas Is the Cause of Gaza's Predicament
(Telegraph-UK) Editorial - International opinion has turned against Israel. Hamas thinks nothing of using hospitals, schools or other civilian buildings to house its command posts, knowing they will be targeted by the IDF seeking to extirpate the group's command structure. Inevitably civilians are killed, but the terrorist group considers them expendable. Now, Hamas is using the efforts to bring humanitarian aid to Palestinians to further its media campaign against Israel. It is no longer able to control the delivery of food because Jerusalem has cut the UN out of the loop. When the UN ran the convoys they were intercepted by Hamas which then sold the goods at marked up prices. Of course, it is appalling to see civilians die and a ceasefire deal on terms set out by the U.S. - accepted by Israel but rejected by Hamas - would be the best way forward. But such an outcome is increasingly difficult to achieve when the BBC's narrative that Israel is always in the wrong permeates into the political discourse.
