Hamas ‘thought’ they could control the US / Israel relationship by having students protesting non-stop / marches in the streets / divide Western allies / use the ICC / ICJ as a cudgel
BUT … at the end of the day … Hamas is smashed along with Gaza … the Rafah Brigade is in tatters … their tunnels destroyed … the Philadelphi Corridor in IDF hands
Israel is a Military Superpower without peer in the Middle East … full stop
The pals are finished … their cause extinct
