"It’s telling that Hamas waited until there’s a Democrat in the White House to restart its terror, which had not happened since 2014."

"Meanwhile, now that a Democrat is ensconced in the White House, the evil rulers of Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and the PLA choose this time to lob missiles into Israel, targeting civilians and children."

Other than serving as tribal virtue signaling that you think that Biden will be bad on Israeli policy (and not describing how he actually has been, which would have been more useful), you make it sound like the Palestinians were not lobbing munitions into Israel during Trump's administration, which is provably false. From last fall (Sept. 15, 2020):

"Palestinian militants fired rockets from Gaza into Israel on Tuesday, the Israeli military said, at same time as Israel and two Gulf Arab states signed normalization agreements at the White House in Washington."[1]

Might want to get your facts in better order before trying to make a larger policy point. If there's an important point to be made on the difference between Hamas missiles, PLA missiles, and generic Palestinian rockets, I'm all ears.

"This is happening as the Israeli government plans to move forward with forced evictions"

Is that paragraph correct? Is Israel removing people from their homes by force? Or is that a lie. I won't defend the issue of putting children in harms way but what lengths would you go to to defend your home?

The way Israel treats people living within the land we gave them is sick and all its doing is turning more and more people against them. Maybe call that evil as well.
