You see? There are elements of truth from BOTH sides of this stupidity! Freda's article indicates that Israel 'may' have instigated part of the situation, knowing the probable outcome, while Hamas may have intentionally provoked the attacks, but misjudged the degree of response.
It is impossible for us to sit here and be sure exactly what was in whose minds and what they expect to gain.

    I doubt Israel wants land anywhere else in the world....or that the Palestinians will ever just shrug and accept Israel's presence in the region.

   What we have is a sense of 'righteousness' from ALL parties, driven by first: religious beliefs about a little piece of elevated land, and then by memories of whatever handy recent memories of injury done to them...no matter WHO did what first.
