Gaza and Hamas
Saturday, January 3, 2009 23:14Maybe I am missing something but I don’t understand why Hamas would provoke Israel into a full scale invasion. Are they dumb enough to think someone is going to come to there aid? That most definitely is not going to happen when the US has close to 200K troops in 2 nearby countries. I don’t think Iran even has the cojones to try that.
They had a workable truce up until a few months ago and then deliberately opted to start launching homemade, tin can rockets into Israel. That is like jumping into the cage with the lion and poking him in the eye repeatedly, then expecting someone to come to your rescue.
I do understand their plight. They want their own homeland with no interference from Israel, but do they think this is the way to go about it? It just defies all logic.
