From what I can gather this conflict as been going on a long time and the Hamas group has existed for a while too. Why are all the news cycles suddenly focusing on this the past few weeks?

    I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the thousands of violent deaths may have something to do with it.

      Have you heard about Yemen recently?

      No? Then it must be quiet there. No deaths at all.
