How the West Chose War in Gaza

is so artfully one-sided, it makes me question the legitimacy of the organization behind it.

The gist of the Nathan Thrall article bodily inserted into the thread is that Hamas, a terrorist organization which maintains power by violence on its political opponents and the threat of extra-judicial violence on the citizens of Gaza, was experiencing political weakness as a result of their mode of operations, hence sought to maintain their hold on power by seeking a rapprochement with the West Bank government. They got no support from the West because why encourage a bad actor, so they began - acting badly (euphemism for firing hundreds of rockets into civilian territory). But now it's the West's fault!
And no word on how they managed to collect thousands of deadly weapons in the time they were serving as Gaza's 'legitimate government'.

It's so surreal it should be laughable. "It's your fault for not stopping me from killing again!"
