To me it comes down to a strategic approach. In how many ways is it possible for Hamas to actually hurt Israel in a significant way?

Perhaps they should have focused on governance instead of martyrdom.

It's a jihadist group. It's not about this life, it's about the next. When you're dealing with a zealot, everything becomes a tool to get to heaven, no matter how evil other people see it.

Look at our evangelicals bending over backwards to support Trump, who is not very Christ-like. If the Prince of Peace came down from heaven today, he would be very angry with his "followers". Might even take his belt off and start swinging, and he didn't get violent very often.

I understand that Gazans made a mistake in 2007, the same way Gazans knew they made a mistake once Hamas canceled elections forever and started torturing dissidents.

There's no reason for people today to copy that mistake by supporting Hamas now.

Well the Palestinians have two options: support Hamas and be bombed by Israel or support Fatah and lose your homes to Israeli settlers.

Israel's clear objective is to genocide all the Palestinians either by killing them all or driving them out of their homes.
