Of course they knew what Hamas was doing but since it wasn't in their backyards and there wasn't many votes to be garnished, they let the terrorists go about their ways. Now that there are plenty of votes involved all over the world with mass immigration giving these political clowns a very nice easily appeased audience, no damn wonder these politicians get all emotional for the cameras at the right time. A good politician isn't anything unless they can perform for their audience. We've seen this over the decades from both sides mind you but at the moment, this issue is hotter than a chilli infused halal snack pack and our polticians are just preaching to the converted. The surrounding Arab nations know exactly the ruse that Hamas is showing and they want no bar of it. Unless these countries themselves are affiliated with terror groups. Monumental self inflicted and poorly organized Hamas strategy on October 7th, by some dudes munching on caviar and the best food in Qatar and it has well and truly bitten the head of the snake but the Israelis want to ensure the wriggling body stops moving. The rest of the world may not have ever dreamed of the last 6 months but they all want the job done. Ah, the beach in the video.
