“I don’t think Hamas wanted us to see” the videos of attacks on civilians, said Gina Ligon, a counterterrorism expert who analyzed the footage for CNN. “That is not congruent with their narrative that they’re defenders of Palestine — that was terrorism.”

Analysts at the research groups Bellingcat and the Centre for Information Resilience geolocated several of the videos, and CNN independently confirmed their locations and geolocated additional footage. CNN reviewed dozens of videos and is publishing only snippets of longer footage that illustrate key elements of the attack.

      Right, but worth dying over? Suppose they did win, their next task would be to defeat Shia\Sunni. After that was completed, they would need to mop up the other infidels.Their work would still be far from finished.

          I’m talking about the people in the region. We’ve manufactured all these tribal differences and talk about them as if they are real. There is no Israeli particle or Palestinian substance. These people are fighting and dying over an idea, something that has no substance whatsoever and will evaporate like the morning mist.
