      haven’t read that article: nobody’s identifying the root point, & I don’t expect that to change…

      From what I can see, Hamas intentionally sacrificed the Palestinians so that the sadism/nihilism of Netanyahu’s “Israel” would focus such absolute-hatred among the region, that Israel’s “deterrent” would cease to exist:

      IF Israel’s military-violence-threat motivates the region to hold-back, THEN the region is deterred.

      However…

      IF Israel’s genociding convinces the entire region that it doesn’t matter what Israel does to them, they HAVE TO annihilate Israel…

      THEN … there’s no “deterrent” left, is there?

      That is Hamas’s strategy, whether it was unconscious or conscious: they used Palestine’s lives as bait, & Israel’s ideological-rabies took the bait.

      Now, it’ll only be a few years more, before that inevitable action->reaction happens, when the absolute-annihilation-of-Israel happens, no matter what the cost…

      I can’t possibly “side with” either: ideological genociding isn’t valid, either way, & worshipping one’s own religion-regime, instead of just surrendering to LivingSpirit, isn’t sane ( but is absolutely normal, on this planet, for millenia ).

      All I can do is recommend that real Jews get as far away from Israel as possible, before the inevitable annihilation happens, & hope that the Palestinians can get out & find safety somewhere else, because Trump certainly doesn’t value their lives…

        Having skimmed the article, now I believe that Hamas’s strategem was unconscious, not conscious: they seem incapable of objective strategy?

        Tactics, but not strategy, & even in tactics, it seems that objectivity isn’t high-enough on their priorities to clue them in.

        … shruggeth …
