Did you read that link? Netanyahu is insane. Our foreign policy of invading and subjugating countries is backfiring big time. All we do is create more terrorists. If we had spent $10T in food, medical and infrastructure aid in the middle east the world would look far different and radical Islam would have been de-fanged. ++++++ nbcnews.com Hamas is losing the backing of ordinary people in Gaza who are paying the human price of its war “Hamas popularity among the populace who are actually living now in shelters, in tents and makeshift, you know, communities is declining,” one pollster told NBC News.
