How dumb do you need to be to think that this is about Hamas? Tell me, how long did you fall for the weapons of mass destruction excuse in Iraq?
Well actually it's HAMAS... And you should research the al muthanna chemical weapons facility.
You mean the facility that was shutdown in 1991 and since then was only used for the destruction of chemical weapons?
Seems like a legit reason to invade a country and kill thousands of people there, 12 years later /s
How did ISIS seize it in 2014 if it was all destroyed?
And why are people still dying when they walk anywhere near it?

True it's not in production but no one is destroying the chemical weapons stored there, frankly it's because they are so incredibly dangerous and in poor condition that they cannot be safely handled. The weapons are still there though, all of the various nerve and blister agents and all of their precursory materials.
It's bizarre you are so smart but don't really know what you are talking about. I know it's incredibly difficult to find truth in our media right now (and frankly it doesn't even matter what political persuasion you subscribe to... They are all full of shit). But still you are buying the narrative hard.
But you should at least take account of first hand knowledge. I was boots on ground in Iraq through the most violent and dangerous times. No we shouldn't have been there, but it's not like the lies about WMDs were farfetched... Saddam had stockpiles of chemical weapons and had already produced proven warheads to deliver chemical weapons on various platforms including their infamous SCUD platform.
