The May 2021 conflict between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas generated headlines around the world. However, much of the reporting ignored the history, funding, political dynamics, and other key components of the story....
The Biden administration has important choices to make.

| 1:00.8 | To call whom? |

| 1:07.0 | bring an end of this look they're still somewhat ambivalent about about Israel but they are allied with Israel in very clear ways against |
| 1:16.0 | the Muslim Brotherhood and against Iran and against other extremists that have tried to exploit |
