Hamas’s leaders, however, say that it was the result of a deliberate calculation.
Ben Hubbard, the Istanbul bureau chief for The New York Times, has been reporting on their decision, and what went into it.

Unfortunately, the episode didn't play in its entirety for me. It seems that the file has something wrong. But about the subject of the podcast, I think it is necessary to know a few things: 1- Palestine is under a colonially occupation. 2- The Palestinian people always have the right to attack the colonialists. 3- Apartheid and aggression against Palestinians has been continuously maintained.
The start of this episode is bloody irresponsible. for New York Times to say "Hamas triggered a war that has since killed many thousands of its own people..." is proven as inaccurate on at least two counts. Can't you see that the mistake you're making is why the warmongering propaganda is allowed to continue?? Palestinians is not equal to Hamas. and Hamas is not equal to Palestine
what about Israel s bloodbath in Gaza
