The White House has called the attack by Hamas "unprovoked." That is simply farcical, risible, ridiculous. I mean, don't we regard decades of violent incursions, blockading, discrimination, repression and land theft against Palestinians "provocation?" Have Biden and company been seeing the world through blinkers all that time? Whatever we think of the action of Hamas, there's no need for us to tell the big lie that this has come unprovoked. By all mean argue that the action was unjustified by its nature, but "unprovoked" is just deluded.
