Here's A Tidbit About Hamas That You Won't Hear From Mainstream Media...

This is the view of Dave Rubin, a political commentator, and Ron Dermer, the former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S.

Rubin highlights the dual nature of the conflict, stating, "Hamas is doing things that most people in the West cannot believe even occurred, even when they see the video. So, you’re fighting a physical war, and then, there’s also the ideological war and the PR war and everything else.”

The initial wave of empathy for Israelis following the events of October 7 was short-lived, quickly replaced by a distorted narrative. Dermer laments, “There are so many different forces that will try to present a distorted picture. They’ll forget about what happened on October 7, they’ll forget about the hostages, and we still have 134 that are being held there in Gaza.”

The media has reported on Hamas's use of its own people as human shields, but some chilling details have been omitted. Dermer reveals, “I must tell you something I did learn in this war is that Hamas doesn’t build tunnels under schools, they actually build schools over the tunnels. That’s what I’ve seen. This is a strategy for Hamas.”

This strategy has proven successful, as the media often attributes the resulting casualties to Israel. Dermer argues, “I don’t have any problem with people in the media showing the pictures that are tragic of every single civilian casualty in Gaza, but just lay it at the doorstep of Hamas. They’re the ones who are responsible.”

The misdirection of blame has serious implications. Dermer warns, “By actually blaming Israel for this, what they’re telling every terror organization around the world is you should use human shields because it works. So, all of those people around the world are blaming Israel for what is happening in Gaza, they’re not only endangering Israel’s security, they’re endangering the Palestinians.”
