Happy you have heard of it, it's the one thing people here agree on, that I haven't the vaguest idea what's really going on, and the history behind it.

Still, Hamas could end the current bout of killing in an hour, by freeing captives and coming out hands up in surrender. That they don't is a measure of how little regard they have for the people of Gaza. Who are in an unfortunate plight: each combatant considers its interests advanced by actions that will kill and maim them.
