Right now, the same hysterics that gripped Covid is doing the same here and knocking out any chance of cracking through narratives. That being Israel, as occupiers, is committing genocide. Palestinians are desperate and that's why they 'vote' for Hamas. End of story. Go against that and you get 'unsubscribe.'
I'm not going to delve and dive into this matter. All I will say is the bigger elephant in the room is Iran and Hizbollah. It's interesting that a non-Arab player in the region that Israel never threatened has the same 'throw them into the sea' sentiment. We're deluding ourselves if we think they're interested in a 'two-state;' solution. Iran is an aggressive actor that Arab countries are wary of.
I still want to know the answer to the question of what Hamas expected would be the response. There's no way they didn't know or at the very least suspect, Israel was going to go 'Medieval' on their ass. Then there's the whole 'Israel created Hamas' angle which only adds fuel to this mess.
The other thing is, in strictly military terms, think 'Carthage must burn'. If you attack an enemy equal to or greater than your power, expect the potential reality that your enemy will be merciless. We have countless examples of this throughout history. The Romans were ruthless conquerors. Piss on them, they came back at you twice as hard. Of course, this is made all the more complicated given Hamas isn't an army. They're guerillas. They're a designated terrorist organization - freedom fighters to others.
Hamas attacked, then they - and the world - begged for a 'ceasefire'. It doesn't work that way, folks no matter how 'righteous' you may feel.
I may very well lose subscribers over this. I've been debating whether or not to post this for a few days. But there is no good way to ignore the facts of what Hamas has done and is doing in Gaza. It is no exaggeration to say that Hamas' agenda is a double genocide against both the Israeli Jews and the Palestinian Arabs.
You're gonna get a lot of hate for this.

At some point that needs to be said.

I'm not Jewish, but fully understand Israel's attitude that: Hamas delenda est.
Thanks. That means a lot.
There's no question they play a part in this story. And not a good one. Hamas has Nazi roots.
In addition, we may want to reject the moral relativist trope of equating antisemitism and Islamophobia.
