Err yes. Hamas started this particular episode. I didn't say it didn't. Tho Netanyahu hasn't helped by attacking the charity workers and the Iranian consulate in Syria. He's a dangerous fool and Israeli citizens want him out.

On the surface it doesn't make sense why (suddenly) a small violent terrorist faux-political group would attack civilians of one of the most elite militarily countries.

However ... Hamas (Sunni) is in bed with Iran (Shiite). An oddity maybe, but Iran will do ANYTHING to undermine Saudi (Sunni) from building closer ties between Saudi+Hamas and Saudi+Israel.
WHY?
Its always about (1) oil and (2) Saudi trying to stay buddies with the West.
Its also about Iran wanting to stop Saudi making wider peace in the Arab region.

Iran wants a slice of that nice little oil-money pie and wants to stop Saudi. So Iran has been in bed with Russia for years. Russia + Iran buy and supply each other with arms, minerals, intelligence and know-how.

Russia as puppeteer has A LOT to gain from war in the ME, by destabilising any relationship that Israel might tentatively initiate with Saudi, by disrupting the flow of oil in the ME (so Russia can sell its own oil) and by pulling US into a ME war, which Biden will avoid at all costs.

Remember Biden has a loyalty to the Israeli citizens but does NOT respect or agree with Netanyahu or how he is running this conflict.

So follow the paper trail.
Hamas is supported by Iran, Iran is supported by Russia.
Putin is actively disrupting the ME. Putin deflects attention/money/weapons from Ukraine and the Republicans block funding for Ukraine.
Putin takes Ukraine - the biggest supplier of grain in the world.
Putin disrupts oil in ME and supplies Russian oil to China and any country in the global market who needs it.
Putin threatens stability in Europe via war in Ukraine.

Putin is an evil f**ker and MASSIVE problem. Trump/ MAGAs are playing like fools right into his hands.
