Tens of Thousands of Gazans Have Perished Because of Hamas
(Arab News-Saudi Arabia) Abdulrahman Al-Rashed - Of course, Hamas is to blame for the tragedies. First, its attacks were a massacre of massive scale by Palestinian standards, with children, women and civilians among the targets. It is also to blame for prolonging the tragedy, since it could have made the same concessions it is making today more than a year ago, sparing the blood of tens of thousands of Gaza residents who have perished because of Hamas. To this day, we still cannot understand why Hamas carried out such a large-scale attack - one that would entirely predictably provoke an Israeli frenzy and the destruction of Hamas and everyone who stood with it.
