Almost but not quite
Because of the worsening security situation and infighting in Gaza, "Hamas fires its rockets to kill Israeli women and children, while cynically trying to provoke Israel’s reaction and...thereby blame the common enemy of the Palestinian people, which – as Palestinians are brainwashed from childhood to believe – is Israel.
This from Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Dan Gillerman. Unfortunately he continues attempting to placate the "International Community" with unearned platitudes. He even uses the word resolve when describing the UN Security Council. This does nothing more than give the appearance of Israel attempting to suck up to back-stabbing bureaucrats who think that the creation of Israel was a major mistake.
The reason Hamas is attempting to draw Israel back into Gaza is for the advancement of Hamas, especially Khalid Mashaal. I have been stating this fact for over a year. Hamas has proven It could decimate Fatah, therefore, the already powerless Mahmoud Abbas, is now certified as a simple figurehead of a dead organization.
If Mr. Gillerman is going to pander to the United Nations for help that won't come and support that will never be given, Israel is looking at a long deadly spiral towards it's own death.
Up to this point my conspiracy theory is still holding strong.
