**Hamas effectively declared war on Israel in October 2023**.
That is a complete lie, utter nonsense because before that land theft and abuse was rife. Of course it's very convenient to say that was the start but history says otherwise and it'll stay that way, no matter how you try otherwise. That date was a boiling over and Israel let it happen, the lookouts were ignored deliberately. I could go on but let's agree to just disagree OK - END.
