We know all that, so stuff your potted history up your arse.
The reality is a bit more complex.
You see, everybody knows that Hamas can't really hurt Israel and that any form of armed struggle by the Palestinians is destined to fail. There is simply no way for them not only to defeat the Israeli army but to even make a dent in the territories it controls or to force Israel to make any concessions. Iron Dome intercepts most rockets and those which do make it over kill maybe a handful of individuals. In fact, more people died in Gaza due to Hamas rockets falling short of their targets, than in Israel.
Violence, however, does have its uses.
Some people say that Hamas is simply responding to planned evictions of Palestinians from Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem and the Israeli police storming of the Al Aqsa mosque to clear the Arab protesters a week ago.
This is, still, just the surface, not the real cause.
To understand why and how we have arrived at this boiling point, we have to go back in time by a few months. In September 2020 the warring parties - Fatah and Hamas - each controlling a different part of Palestinian Territories, agreed to hold the first parliamentary and presidential elections since 2006. In January, Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, announced three - to Palestinian Legislative council, on May 22, presidential, on July 31 and to PLO's Palestinian National Council, on August 31.
From that point on, things have taken a turn for the worse.
Internal fractures within Fatah, that Abbas controls with an iron fist, have cracked the party in mid-March, as Nasser al-Qudwa, Yasser Arafat's nephew and a member of the party's Central Committee announced a breakaway bid in the legislative elections - what resulted in his expulsion from the party.
Enter Marwan Barghouti.
Upon his expulsion from Fatah, al-Qudwa voiced support for Barghouti's bid in the presidential election in July - a harbinger of things to follow...
The former leader of Fatah's paramilitary wing is serving five consecutive life sentences in Israeli prison (for murder and terrorist activity). Arrested in 2002, he's been behind bars ever since and has grown to become the most popular Palestinian figure, seen as a martyr who sacrificed his life for the Palestinian struggle - unlike the current corrupt and untrustworthy leaders in Gaza and West Bank (if you thought Palestinians like their politicians, you're wrong).

Ooooh, lookie, the racist prick trying to justify ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Salon magazine just published this piece on the fighting between Hamas and Israel:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...-abetted-by-the-u-s/ar-BB1gLHhM?ocid=msedgdhp
The last paragraph of the article, the body of which is mostly a recitation of history mixed with some cherry picking, is telling of the whole:
The sentence I highlighted is the most declarative of the piece. Breaking this down one should ask, Why are the "...Palestinians powerless and friendless, even in the Arab world?"
The answer is, from history, because the Palestinians are a bunch of warmongering thugs and criminals who can't even get their act together enough to stop internal warfare between what amounts to street gangs. Jordan threw them out of that country because they tried to stage a revolution and overthrow the government.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September
Egypt got tired of their constant criminal terrorist behavior in their country and closed their border with Gaza as a result.
https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Mid..., which it holds responsible for running Gaza.
Syria kicked them out for similar reasons.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinians_in_Lebanon
The roughly half million Palestinian refugees in Lebanon also played a leading role in destabilizing that country.
Yet, it is somehow Israel's fault and a war crime that their vastly superior military stomps on Hamas after Hamas launches hundreds, well over a thousand, rockets at Israel from Gaza and now from allied groups in Lebanon. Hamas wanted a war. They got a war. Indiscriminate rocket fire intended to kill anyone in Israel is usually considered a war crime. Using civilians as human shields is too. That's what Hamas practices here.
That Israel responds to that with military force is just too freakin' bad for the Palestinians. They should learn to pick their enemies better along with stop being street gangs. Maybe if they tried to improve their own lot rather than tear down someone else's they wouldn't be universally reviled in the Middle East like they are.
The lesson for the US should be that radical Leftist groups like Antifa and BLM are doing the same sort of shit here to society and are no better liked for it. Sure, the radical Left embraces their thuggery but the rest of society at some point will become irked enough to stomp the lot of them into the ground.
MORE LYING ANTI-SEMITISM FROM THA ALWAYS RACIST LEFT...WHO IGNORE THE FACT THAT IS WAS THE COCKROACHES OF GAZA WHO STARTED FIRING MISSILES INTO ISRAEL....NOT VICE VERSA...
Sadly I'm not so sure about that!

A study of the IQ in Palestine
The Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM) was standardized in Palestine in 2011 on a sample of 257 children aged 6.0 to 11.5 years, tested individually. The sample obtained a British IQ of 85.

NASA's Palestinian engineer gets ready to make history once again

Elbasyouni is the electronics lead for the helicopter which was landed recently on the Red Planet. If this mission is a success, he and the NASA team will write their names in the history books, just as the Wright brothers did in 1903 with their first powered aircraft flight.

It is in the Bible, Joel 3:4 Some versions call it Philistia.
King James Bible
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
You're a born loser, volkscrock;
