Israel’s early support for strengthening Hamas set the stage for Hamas to seize total control of Gaza in 2007, and for its October 7 massacre of 1,400 civilians and Israeli soldiers. As of this writing, Israel has unleashed a bombing campaign that has killed more than 9,000 Gazans, according to The Gaza Health Ministry. Israel has now started a ground invasion that will yield even more casualties.

Israel’s support of Hamas for reasons of political expediency has resulted in decades of tragedy for Palestinians and Israelis alike. Now, that support has unleashed a new wave of death and destruction that threatens not only to surpass all previous carnage, it threatens to destabilize the entire region, and perhaps even lead us into the darkness of World War III.
