Journalists Should Stop Falling For Hamas' Deadly PR Efforts

That's because no amount of bad press about Israel's efforts to stop violence coming from Gaza will impel that nation to create a terror state on its borders.

Hamas has openly asserted that it's attempting to create incursions into Israel, and that has absolutely nothing to do with East or West or North or South Jerusalem.

Now, if Hamas can't even adhere to agreements with the supposed moderates of the Palestinian government, what is Israel expected to do?

Since Israel conferred semi-autonomy on Gaza, Hamas has created one of the highest unemployment rates in the world, at more than 40 percent.

In 2015, the United Nations was forced to admit that Hamas was storing explosives in at least three UN schools that Israel targeted during the mini-war of 2014.

What is Israel supposed to do when a mob of violent rioters march towards them? Should it shut down the IDF and allow Hamas to overtake their military positions? Should it tear down the fences and allow a million Gazans, propagandized over a generation by violent regimes and steeped in virulent anti-Semitism, to walk into Israel proper?

Should they give full autonomy to Hamas and allow it to create a mini Iran right on its border? Should Jews pick up and leave Jerusalem? Even if Israel wanted to make a deal, Hamas makes no genuine demands, much less offers any concessions.
