There is seldom good news out of the Middle East, but many of the socmed responses to the current horrors seem more spiteful than such things once were.

I think Hamas intend to trigger an over reaction by the Israeli Government and thereby to gain support. Let’s not do anything to help in this.

Treading as carefully as an old man can, I can see that this is a “9/11” for Israel; a shattering horror. It looks like Hamas had planned this for months, and that must mean that they have “war gamed” all the moves Israel might make.

I think the way to beat Hamas may be to hold on to Saudi Arabia.

Thanks for a nice compliment - I haven’t seen his observations on this; must find them!
