There is no indication of this "plotting".
So, it's not a question of putting on blinders or getting dog saliva in your eyes — but of examining the situation from beyond what is spun to stir emotions on the corporate-owned television "news" !
I am looking at the horror and demanding peace.
(And damn it, the U.S. coiuld do something about it just as they could in Ukraine. But they are playing world police with 750 military bases around the world and these cops do nothing but sell weapons to keep the wars going.)
I assure you that in offering this alternative perspective I am in no way excusing what Hamas did.
Nor do I excuse Isreal's response.
I just know that what I get from the mass media is full of lies and propaganda.
