Why did the Hamas Attack happen now?
No one is really discussing what sparked this attack by Hamas. This latest attack was called the "al-Aqsa Flood" by Hamas.
This is because the reason given for its timing is Israel allowing "Jewish groups to desecrate al-Aqsa Mosque”.

Recently, the Israeli government has begun to support extremist Jewish groups attacking and expelling Muslims and Christians from their holy sites.
Extremist Jewish groups like the Temple Institute believe it is necessary to build the third temple on the site of the Aqsa mosque to bring about the Jewish messiah (which many Christians think will be the antichrist).
These Jewish groups have been trying to breed a "blemish free" red cow to fulfil prophecy and bring about the end times, even using advanced embryo selection technology to try and breed this sacrificial cow.
Recently, in a further escalation against Muslims and Christians they have been sprinkling heifer's blood on the site.

This year and especially in recent weeks, this antagonism against Muslims and Christians has massively accelerated. Christian churches have been attacked with statues of Jesus desecrated, as Jewish settlers believe they must destroy all religious idols in the land to fulfil prophecy.
Over the summer, Jewish settlers occupied and attempted to seize by force Christian churches in Israel. It has also become common for these settlers to spit on and abuse Christians in the vicinity of the holy site, as recent, widely shared footage on social media has demonstrated.

Days ago, dozens of settlers stormed the Aqsa mosque to perform "Talmudic rituals". Israeli forces these religious extremists, expelling Palestinian worshippers from their most sacred holy site.

This is all extremely relevant context that has been left out of this discussion as the whole focus becomes individual instances of violence. The ultranationalist Israeli government has been supporting the antagonism of extremist Jewish groups against Muslim and Christians in the Holy Land for years, and this continues to accelerate.
It's impossible to have an informed discussion about this conflict while ignoring this.
📝🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 - On the Brink: Showdown in the Middle East
Amid an escalating American buildup, it’s clear Witkoff’s list of demands is more of a request for surrender. Accepting the abolition of its nuclear program and limitations on its ballistic missile force would leave Iran powerless to defend itself in any future conflict, which is the entire point of asking for these “concessions”. This demarche is a poison pill meant to justify further action when Iran rightly refuses it or, should they be foolish enough to actually accept it, will make the job of Israel and the U.S. easier when they inevitably tear up any agreement to conduct strikes anyway. The goal here for Tel Aviv and Washington isn’t peace and anybody who thinks they actually care about protesters needs to get their head checked; they want a final showdown with Iran to remove it as an obstacle to themselves in the Middle East.
For those that don’t remember, in the lead up to the 12 Day War last year...
The Democrats got new talking points, but the question is why this sudden shift in direction that betrays a part of their lunatic base. Something really shifty is going on over there.

🇺🇸 White House: U.S. exits Hague tribunals and Venice Commission
The United States is withdrawing from two international criminal tribunals based in The Hague and from the Venice Commission, as part of a broader disengagement from 66 global organizations, according to a White House statement.
The U.S. will no longer participate in the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, which prosecutes remaining cases from the former Yugoslavia and the Rwandan genocide. The move reflects a wider recalibration of American foreign policy under President Donald Trump, aimed at distancing the U.S. from bodies seen as undermining national sovereignty or offering limited return on investment.
This withdrawal underscores Washington’s shift away from multilateral judicial structures and toward a more unilateral, interest-driven approach in international affairs.
