This is all really very simple. Hamas is run by Iran, supplied and given marching orders. Oil prices were too low. Iran needs to destabilize something to bring prices up. They tell Hamas to lob some rockets. They do and Israel reacts. Voila, prices are up 11 cents at the pumps in one day around here. And the Pallies are so f'ing stupid they are sacrificing their own people so the Iranians can keep their cash flow up. Nice deal for the Pallies. All the ME nations should turn on Iran and end this once and for all. But they are likely too weak so they are waiting for Israel to fix it for them.
