If Hamas is the bad guy here - then that means the guys who put them in place and are funding them - are also bad guys.
Can you say “Islamic Republic of Iran”? Because Hamas is their “street fighter”, and as long as the Israelis are distracted on their own front doorstep, little is left over to counter the mischief being done in the Iranian bunkers, in their relentless pursuit of a workable atomic bomb. Not for strategic warfare, but as a huge bargaining chip, a terrorist with the biggest vest bomb imaginable strapped to his chest, standing out in the public square.
Now, since the Carter Administration is DIRECTLY responsible for taking out the Shah of Iran, and thus giving us the Islamic Republic of Iran, he owns it. Or, rather, the situation owns him, and neither Jimmy nor Zbigniew can readily condemn Iran at this point.
And by proxy, neither can they condemn Hamas. Ever.
But it’s somebody’s fault. And who is left?

I think you’re thinking of Hezbollah — the Shiite organization operating in Lebanon that fires rockets into Northern Israel from time-to-time. They are pretty tightly controlled by Iran.
