Though foreign policy and national security experts remain unsure exactly what Hamas thought it could accomplish with its brutal attacks against Israel last weekend, one group of Americans knows exactly why they happened. “I think this is a great opportunity for our candidates,” Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel told Fox News, to show that GOP candidates support Israel while “Joe Biden has been weak.
