Israel at War With Hamas… or Iran?

A CBS News article made a good point. Israel is not really at war with the Palestinians, Israel is at war with Iran. The article argues:

Iran has a reach that is known to cross into Lebanon (Hezbollah) and the Palestinian Authority (Hamas). So who is Israel really fighting with? Are Palestinians merely the front line attackers in a war with Iran. Iran is sending weapons and terrorists over to Hamas and Lebanon. Iran is sending money and is giving support to these groups. Israel, therefore, needs to stem the trouble from the source, Iran.

The Palestinian struggle is no longer about creating an independent state. It is
about being a front-line participant in the Iranian-led jihad to destroy Israel,
evolving from a nationalist to a religious war. The thousands of celebrants in
Gaza who, following the yeshiva massacre, offered prayers of thanksgiving in the
mosques and distributed candies to passersby weren’t only indulging in feelings
of revenge for Israel’s recent military incursion but heralding the coming
jihadist victory over the enemies of God. A real solution to the Arab-Israeli
conflict can only be reached by dealing with its primary instigator: Iran.
