A Reality Check on Gaza


(Telegraph-UK) Con Coughlin - One central fact seems to have been completely overlooked in the rush to blame the miserable plight of Palestinian civilians on Israel. It was Hamas, not Israel, that was ultimately responsible for the collapse of the Trump administration's latest efforts to arrange a lasting ceasefire in Gaza. Allowing Hamas to retain any vestige of influence in Gaza is, understandably, anathema to Israel after the horrors it suffered during the Oct. 7 attacks in 2023, which resulted in the cold-blooded massacre of 1,200 people - including women and children - at the hands of deranged Islamist fanatics. No sane government in the world would allow such an organization to remain intact after the trauma its citizens have suffered. The fundamental truth of the Gaza tragedy, one that the legions of anti-Israel protesters across the globe willfully ignore, is that Hamas does not want peace.
