    With its increased leverage in this round, Hamas is likely to push harder for concessions on key issues, such as easing the blockade and winning the release of prisoners held by Israel.

    What idiot wrote this? What leverage does Hamas have? They will be destroyed in this war.

    EDIT: Israel has officially decided to destroy Hamas for good. Article in hebrew: https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/bjso00d111t

      Seriously, this person has no clue. They’re talking about this like it’s more of the same old conflict we are all used to. This is of a completely different character than anything we have seen. There will be no concessions, no ceasefire. Israel is fucking mad. And when they get mad they seriously fuck up whoever they are mad at in a very efficient and indisputable fashion. They might offer a ceasefire after they’ve exacted a very high cost in retaliation. The Gaza strip is royally fucked.

      Fun fact, if the GWOT taught us anything, it’s that you can’t eradicate an ideology through military force unless you do a genocide. Funner fact, Israel has been doing a slow genocide for a while and this is the excuse they have to speed the process up.

      Hamas has huge support in palestine, killing them will result in (more) civilian deaths and increase support further.
