Reader comment on item: Why Does Hamas Want War?
Submitted by Bar_nett (United States), Jul 11, 2014 at 11:29
Hamas may have thought this a good time being encouraged and funded by Tehran, Hizbollah as it is a diversion that the mass media, UN and world gov'ts will garvitate to overnight and no longer focus on REAL THREATS to Intn'l peace and stability in Iraq/Syria with ISIS take over and declaring a caliphate and with continuation unabated of Iran's nuclear program. Iran now has free reign to insert assets into Iraq and build The Bomb.

There are nine days for this round of P5+1 negotiations with Iran and there is no indication that they are in any way influenced by the Hamas assault on Israel.
