Essay: Israel-Hamas war: Shocking — not surprising — in a land of grief, hate and broken promises

LA Times  

Rockets are fired toward Israel from the Gaza Strip, as seen from southern Israel, earlier this week. Hamas seized control of Gaza in 2007, and many Palestinians came to regard it as a more resolute defender than the Palestinian Authority, which was criticized for giving Israel too many concessions for little return. “And those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.” Mourners carry the bodies of Palestinians killed in an Israeli assault on the Nour Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. President Biden sensed this on his visit to Israel last week when he mourned with Jews, but also warned: “While you feel that rage, don’t be consumed by it.” An Israeli soldier inspects a house damaged by Hamas militants in Kibbutz Kfar Azza, Israel, on Oct. 18. “Even if Hamas is somehow destroyed, this sentiment guarantees that another group will take its place.” Palestinian citizens inspect damage to their homes caused by Israeli airstrikes on Oct. 10 in Gaza City, Gaza.
