is Hamas. And Hamas has held that power from day 1.

That particular point is one that needs to be repeated ad infinitum, yet we never hear it in the MSM. We should be hearing it every day from world leaders, humanitarian groups, and the feckless UN.

Hamas's disregard for the Gazan people and human life in general is "baked in", so for some reason Hamas gets a universal pass. It reminds me of how the media dismisses Trump's abuses with "That's just Trump being Trump".

"Brutal butchery and using the people of Gaza as human shields? Hiding underground and filling their bellies with stolen food while Gazans suffer?"

"Ho hum. That's just Hamas being Hamas."
