Israeli journalist who has followed, spoken to, and written extensively about Hamas….good listen.
Towards the end he talks about his shock at the level of depravity Hamas showed and discussing it with a member of Fatah...who said the big difference now is it’s a generation of brainwashed people who Hamas have convinced them that it’ll bring them redemption….and that like Goebbels they’ve convinced them that Israeli’s aren’t human, making the massacre we saw, possible.
as everyone freaks about WWIII my sense this entire time has been that i'm actually pleasantly surprise by the overall pro-israeli sentiment and the surprising lack of support for hamas overall.

I wonder if this is part of a concerted effort to prevent the war from expanding. Either way, glad to hear it, even if MBS himself is a bloodthirsty lunatic.Saudi Crown Prince MBS denounced the Hamas attacks for the first time last night/today I believe….shit on everyone including the west, but he did call Hamas actions “heinous” apparently.
Also picked up the phone to speak with Iran about resolving the conflict.
I think the population of Gaza is something like 50% under age 18? And we're approaching an entire generation now (17 years worth) of kids who have grown up only ever knowing Hamas rule, and being fed Hamas propaganda in schools. This may be the natural byproduct of that...

Saudi, Iran, the West, UN, Egypt, etc. (No point in listing the obvious…)
A Build Back Better Coalition?….
