They’re really trying to pull the US into this by escalating and provoking a serious response
How many weapons will USA throw at Israel after they start a war with all their neighbors?
They don’t have as much left to give as you’d think, and moving huge amounts of heavy weapons takes time and fuel. Keep in mind the most efficient way to deliver weapons would be via cargo ship, and Yemen has that locked down tight.
that leaves ONE direction the supplies can come from. Israel just pissed off one of the most powerful armies in the region, so that port isn’t going to be safe for long.
So the visit to the US was to get the greenlight
Death to israel
I recall reading one of Hamas’ leaders had survived the Deir Yassin massacre in their youth, and then the next town they moved to also suffered a massacre.
Meanwhile in Israel they were parading around one of the perpetrators of the Deir Yassin massacre while he was telling people to kill every Arab, that if their neighbor was an Arab they should kill him.
