This honeymoon is going to end, but until it does, I will give John Kirby props for debunking pro-Hamas propaganda. The White House Press Corps this week has been insufferable regarding the Israel-Hamas war. Hamas is keeping two million of its people from evacuating to safety, using them as human shields.

Hamas has controlled Gaza for 17 years, violently seizing control in 2007 after ‘winning’ the previous year’s elections. It’s been a Jihadi hell hole ever since, though one with an extensive terror tunnel infrastructure and some 40,000 terrorists waiting to kill Israeli troops. It’s why Netanyahu says this could be a long war.
