The problem is that Hamas and Islamic Jihad specifically and intentionally invited Israel into Gaza with a genocidal attack on Israelis, rounded up hundreds of hostages of all ages, and fired 5000 rockets into Israel’s civilian populated areas on October 7, 2023.
Hamas had to know ahead of time that if they massacred enough Israelis and rounded up all these hostages, it was not going to go well for good people of Gaza. So what is their end game?
