   @j2bryson Gee, I wonder if that’s because of the huge number of Palestinians in Israeli custody. People that were learning are being horribly tortured.

   But hey, everyone agrees Hamas is horrible and should be destroyed… except Netanyahu who propped up Hamas so that there wouldn’t be a two-state solution with the Palestinian Authority.

     By no means to excuse or justify, but at least to add some context about what some people are thinking: someone reminded me that #Hamas insisted that #Netanyahu set the ratio of Palestinian to Israeli-hostage life at 1,027:1 back when Netanyahu was previously PM in 2011. https://edition.cnn.com/2011/10/17/world/meast/israel-prisoner-swap-explainer/index.html
