The Hamas leader described the rocket attacks that took place in the spring of last year as a "Rehearsal for the liberation of the Palestinian territories from the occupation".
As Hamas once again renews its rocket attacks, including two that landed near Tel Aviv, it's impossible to understand the actions of the terrorist group without looking toward Tehran.
While the size of Iran's payments to Hamas have been the subject of various estimates over the years, the local Al Quds paper claimed that Iran had reinstated funding after a split partly caused by Hamas' refusal to back Assad over its Muslim Brotherhood cousins in Syria, but also likely due to economic problems caused by U.S. sanctions on the Shiite Islamic terror state.
While Iranian funding would not have immediately produced an instant arsenal, the infusion of cash would have allowed Hamas to feel confident about blowing a third of its rockets on a new war against Israel.
Money is fungible and the combination of new cash and assurances of steady future funding, especially under a loose sanctions climate maintained by a friendly Biden administration, incentivized Hamas to launch its latest war of terror against the Jewish State.
During the election, Iran made its bet on Biden, and Hamas appears to have done the same.
The latest Hamas rocket attacks remind us that sanctions relief doesn't bring peace, only war.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
