    Here's another side to what's going on the media hasn't explained very well. Right now Israel is saying we need to invade Gaza to completely destroy Hamas...even if it kills tens of thousands of Palestinians or at the risk of starting a larger war.

    But the senior leadership of Hamas isn't in Gaza. The global leader, Ismail Haniyeh, is living in Qatar. Members of the Qatari royal family also essentially bankrolled the Hamas government in Gaza with hundreds of millions in funding.

    Surely what really keeps Hamas going is the funding from wealthy backers in the Middle East who are sympathetic to their cause. And yet you're not hearing demands to extradite Haniyeh or the other senior leadership, even though they seemingly knew about and helped plan the attack.
