Hamas happens, that's the thing I hope happens, and that it holds so that food and water

and medical assistance can get

into Gaza, and a good number of hostages can be released. I've been talking about this war in my

introductions and have taken it from both sides, which doesn't mean I have it right, but I will say again

that October 7th was an atrocity by Hamas. I don't see how anyone
