    Hamas wins when Israel makes more desperate people that just want revenge.

      Terrorists generally thrive on instability.
      Usually they prefer to trade hostages for their own though.

        Sure, but what better way to recruit new fighters?

        This is the same play that al-Queda made on 9/11: they made the US severely overplay their hand with one egregious coordinated attack.

        The US is still paying for that overzealous reaction 20 years later; there is a case to me made that ISIL wouldn’t have been the power that it became without the GWOT.

        Hamas is trying to exploit the fact that they’ve made Palestinians a worldwide target with limited options: more desperate people without a future means Hamas is the only entity to turn to.

        In what sense? Who’s making whose people more desperate and looking for revenge?

          the russians are blaming the west for all the bad that is happening currently. Their propaganda is declaring us as the boogeyman and a whole new generation of russians is raising up with the image of the west as an enemy.

          But should this stop us in our aid and support for ukraine? People will keep dying in this war and people will keep dying as long as a terror group as the Hamas is leading in Gazah.
