Frankly, I don't pick either side here. While I could say that both sides did some pretty vile things. I have no illusion that Hamas are some sort of freedom fighters, because they are not and they definitely do not hold average Palestinians in heart. I in fact believe that since Hamas is created in the West, that Israel may have their hand in it. Just think every time there was supposed to be some truce, Hamas blows up a building in Tel Aviv and the conflict continues. Unfortunately, the conflict lasts for very long and as long as there is no real desire for achieving peace (from both sides, mind you), then it'll continue as the decades of this shit are persevering to happen.
Also, one very interesting thing here. Since this conflict renewal weeks ago, almost no one mentions anymore Russo-Ukrainian conflict. It's not anymore the main topic.

Interesting point: The West is causing Putin problems regarding the Ukraine war and suddenly Israel is attacked and the West is seriously distracted. Maybe Putin wrote a big cheque to Hamas.........

And you haven't revealed any secrets. There are no conspiracy speculations or secrets in this.
Initially, as soon as the first political rudiments of the emergence of "Hamas", Israel saw them as the main political rivals of the "Palestine Liberation Organization" of Ya. Arafat, as well as against the Palestinian political organization Fatah. Israel has always (openly or veiled) pursued the goal of destroying Palestine. Therefore, initially Israel supported Hamas politically and financially in every possible way.
Israel is practically a complete creature of the United States. Or vice versa, given how many Jewish lobbyists are in the so-called "shadow or deep state of the United States", which really governs the United States. Therefore, it is their practice to first support structures or political organizations that are extremely dubious in their deeds, for the sake of achieving situational objectives in their own interests, and then, when they do not need them, abandon them. The latter, accordingly, take offense at this, after which the U.S. or Israel recognize them as terrorists and start a "noble and just war" against terrorism, justified by the Western community. This was the case with Bin-Laden, whom the US actually created and supported in Afghanistan against the USSR. This was the case with ISIS, the backbone of which was made up in the beginning by the Iraqi military, who betrayed S. Hussein at the instigation of the US. Therefore, there is nothing new in this practice of the U.S. or Israel.

I think this is nonsense. Despite formal indications that it may be beneficial for Russia in modern realities, Russia has never practiced it. And Russia does not have such a global influence on these territories as the USSR had. Even without Russia there are a lot of interested parties in the next unleashing of this long-standing conflict.
The collective West has simply realized that it has suffered a complete fiasco against Russia in Ukraine, and wants to switch accents and do its favorite business, namely selling arms to the conflicting parties and profiting from it.
However, from my personal point of view (I may of course be wrong in my predictions), but unlike the situation in Ukraine, where the collective West had a full consensus against Russia, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may not meet with such consensus in the West. Jewish lobbies are very strong in the U.S. and Arab lobbies in Europe. So Israel will be pressured too. If the European Union was more independent from the U.S., it could put pressure on Israel, at least to prevent serious military action on the part of Israel. But there are a lot of "BUTs." So we'll see what happens. Predicting anything is very difficult. I have known this conflict for a long time, I have studied it, I have been in the Middle East for different periods of time, there are a lot of intertwining and different interests and contradictions, absolutely different in their essence.

He should be thankful to them, or Zelensky. Now no one can see how grifting his scheme became.

I think personnaly Benyamin Netanyahou should have first make free the Hamas prisonners and get back the ostages ...
Then he will have been able to do what ever he wants and send the terrest army against Hamas without be obliged bombing so many innocent people.
Now I feel this situation is going to take a lot of time and make the Gaza civilians suffering a lot while many of them are not responsible for the Hamas action.

All war are sad and I hate it !!!
