The Calculus of Hamas and the Strategy of Atrocity in Warfare w/ Christopher W. Jones - a podcast by J.G.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Union University's Christopher W. Jones joins me to discuss the potential calculus of Hamas in their brutal attack over the weekend. Christopher brings his knowledge as specialist in ancient history and ISIS/ISIL aka Islamic State (which he has written about) to this conversation. In the later portion of the discussion we discuss what Christopher calls the "Strategy of Atrocities" as used in warfare as well as the comparisons being made between the tactics of Islamic State and Hamas. In the earlier part of the conversation we discuss calculus of Hamas, normalization of relationships between Arab states and Israel and the role that may have played in motivating the attack, Hezbollah, the Second Intifada, the trained professional military of Hamas, Turkey, Qatar, demographics and the role it could play in this war, and much, much more.
