Getting It Do ordinary Iranians understand the Israel/Hamas conflict better than the experts?
By Clifford D. May
The essential facts of the Hamas/Israel conflict are not complicated: Hamas is a client of Irans ruling mullahs whose rallying cry is, Death to America! Hamass ideology is indistinguishable from that of al-Qaeda. For these two reasons alone, it cannot be in the U.S. interest for Hamasor any similar groupto prevail anytime, anywhere.
Also beyond question: Hamas has been raining missiles on Israel for years. No nation can passively endure such punishmentand remain a nation. It was only a matter of time before Israel had to take action against Hamas, a sworn enemy that openly expresses its genocidal intentions, and that routinely uses Palestinian women and children as human shields, exploiting their suffering for public-relations benefits.
