Why Hamas is Responsible for the Crisis in Gaza

International media narratives surrounding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza consistently misplace blame on Israel while ignoring the governing force that initiated and perpetuates the conflict. Rich breaks down how Hamas deliberately engineered the crisis by embedding military infrastructure within civilian areas, using innocent Palestinians as human shields, and diverting international humanitarian aid to fund its terror operations. Unpacking how Hamas's explicit strategy relies on civilian casualties to manufacture global outrage and exert diplomatic pressure, Rich explains why holding terrorist leadership accountable—rather than scapegoating the nation defending its citizens—is essential for moral clarity and true regional stability.
