My Comment: In the Gaza war last year, Hamas and their allies quickly learned one important lesson .... the Israelis have better weapons. I predicted that once the Gaza war had stopped, the priority for Hamas would be to rebuild its military and to acquire better weapons.

If the Jerusalem Post story is to be believed .... it appears that they are making forward progress.

But what gets me boiling mad is that while this arms buildup by Hamas is continuing, we in the West are now being asked to feed and to take care of the families that these same Hamas officials have all but ignored to focus on their military objectives. My bet .... we the taxpayers are only providing the goods and resources that will make the next war all but inevitable.
