Clueless.Lengthy analysis of Hamas' current strategy:
Hamas is increasingly frustrated with its inability to secure a ceasefire agreement with Israel after more than ten months of conflict. The Islamist group is particularly concerned about maintaining its grip on power and facilitating the release of senior Palestinian terrorists serving long prison sentences in Israeli facilities. For Hamas, everything else, including the urgent need to rebuild Gaza, takes a backseat to these primary objectives.
Although Hamas has engaged in psychological warfare, coupled with protests and pressure from Israel's allies, it has not succeeded in persuading Israel to agree to ceasefire terms favorable to its interests. The recent execution of six hostages, including an American, signals a significant shift in Hamas's strategy, likely orchestrated by Yahya Sinwar.
While there have been previous indications of attempts to murder hostages, these executions mark a critical turning point. It is essential to underscore the frustration Hamas is experiencing. The group understands its limited capacity to endure sustained Israeli military pressure and the ongoing arms blockade. A change in strategy is imperative. Therefore, Hamas has overtly threatened to execute more hostages.
However, this shift in strategy entails inherent risks. Hamas has long branded itself as "freedom fighters," and executing hostages fundamentally undermines that narrative. Additionally, the captives are immensely valuable bargaining chips; their deaths would mean fewer Palestinian terrorists released from Israeli prisons. This paradox raises the possibility that executing hostages could hinder Sinwar's ability to negotiate for prisoner releases, ultimately damaging Hamas's standing.
Conversely, Hamas perceives the current unrest in Israel as a golden opportunity to leverage threats of executing hostages. By broadcasting videos of captives and issuing dire warnings, Hamas aims to maximize pressure on Israel. The group believes that stoking tensions could draw it closer to achieving its goals, particularly the sought-after ceasefire. Hamas's current approach appears to be yielding results. Domestic pressure for a ceasefire is mounting within Israel, and the Jewish State's allies are also urging Prime Minister Netanyahu to consider a cessation of hostilities. Whether Hamas will follow through on its threat to execute more hostages remains uncertain.
However, this marks a new phase in the conflict, revealing the organization's true nature. It is not a movement for Palestinian liberation but rather a terrorist group focused solely on its survival in a war it initiated nearly eleven months ago.

All countries need to embargo Israel and respect international law.

Living in your head rent free is a Zionist motto? WTF?
Your hate is curdling the blood in your brain.
Israel is trying to do to Palestinians what the Hutus did to Tutsi’s in Rwanda
Talk is cheap.
Nobody is taking action to physically stop Israel. That takes actual conviction.
Can you show us all of your previous posts on that topic expressing your outrage?
Didn't think you could. No Jews=no news.
Thanks proving how accurate that statement is and what an anti-Semite you are. Did it feel good to finally come out? Is it liberating?
