More than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in the month since Hamas' terrorist attacks inside southern Israel, the group's health ministry in Gaza says.

But Hamas officials say the mounting death toll, believed to include thousands of children, has not caused the group to regret its actions in southern Israel, which Israeli officials said killed 1,400 people.

In fact, Hamas leaders say that their goal was to trigger this very response and that they're still hoping for a bigger war. It's all part of a strategy, they say, to derail talks over Israel normalizing relations with regional powers — namely, Saudi Arabia — and draw the world's attention to the Palestinian cause.

Hamas, these officials say, is more interested in the destruction of Israel than what it sees as the temporary hardships faced by Palestinians under Israeli bombardment.

"What could change the equation was a great act, and without a doubt, it was known that the reaction to this great act would be big," Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the group's governing politburo, told The New York Times in an interview.

I am sure that they have all sorts of people and some of them were always this way but I suspect they were radicalized with the terrorist attacks. I mean at a personal level if someone kills your family you’d probably don’t care about nuances or context. It just happens that they have more means to carry out their “vengeance”.

My man these terror Zionists have been shooting innocent Palestinians in the west bank wayyy before Oct 7.

Oct 7 was done as a response to these terror Zionists. Hamas cited it as a direct reason for their counter offensive.

You can use your comment to justify the Hamas members, but not the israeli colonists purposely seeking conflict and killing Palestinians.

I know the world didn’t start on October 7. The pogroms have been going on for millenniums.

Don't blame the Palestinians for the Europeans and Americans which love throwing religious minorities under the bus. If the Zionists want revenge on Germany they seen to have taken a wrong exit on the highway.

Also this.

WW2 is recent history in the context of anti semitism. to give you an idea here is a selected list of pogroms of the last 2000 years:

EDIT: I guess you don't want to accept that you lack basic knowledge on the issue.

Ah look like they are using stupid bots to spread misinformation. Too bad it can’t understand what is being said.
