Whatever follows Hamas’s bloody and terrible period of misrule can only be a relative improvement.
Western media has devoted prohibitive attention to the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip precipitated by the Hamas regime’s support for a complex military-style operation explicitly designed to kill as many Israeli civilians as possible. That sequence of events might convey to the casual observer that the conditions the Gazan people are presently enduring are a function of their government’s recklessness, inhumanity, and general commitment to maladministration. Maybe that’s why so many Western media outlets seem committed to advancing the notion that Gaza’s plight is a function of Israel’s response to the unprecedented butchery of over 1,400 of its citizens.
