You didn't answer the question.
What did Hamas think would happen when they attacked Israel on Oct 7th the way they did?
Bonus question: Why do Palestinians allow Hamas to hide with civilians and putting them in harms way as a result?

If you take Hamas' ratio, there are over 900 Israeli Military Casualties and around 1,700 Israeli Citizens killed.
Mathematically, this on paper looks like a less innocuous ratio. But Hamas is charged with similar crimes.
The ICC took everything into account before coming to their decision!!
However:
There are still thousands that are unaccounted for with some buried deep in the rubble from the infrastructure destructions!!
That is why the ratio is flawed in this respect!!
Listen, why do you keep on asking some ridiculous questions the whole time?
Am I supposed to read Hamas' POV? Why did the Israeli army not act far quicker when Hamas was there for hours on end?
Several questions need to be addressed in the manner in which the Netanyahu Govt. responded or lack of it on that day.
Do you think that if Hamas was holding the Israelis hostage in the Israeli hospitals, then the Israeli IDF would have acted in the same manner by razing these hospitals to the ground?
How is it a "distraction" when I am on the same topic.
If I asked you about Netanyahu and why he did not get the IDF to respond right away when the October 6th Hamas attack was taking place, could you respond to it?
The question he asked was actually a rhetorical one. The answer is obvious. Hamas, and Iran, clearly knew that Israel would respond massively. Everybody knew. That was all part of their plan. They wanted to derail the Israeli/Saudi normalization talks as well as hope for massive civilian losses so as to demonize Israel to the world. That is why Hamas built tunnels for themselves to hide in, yet refused access to Gazans, on top of not building shelters for the civilians and hiding under schools and in hospitals. Hamas intentionally put the civilians in harm's way in an extremely densely populated area.
The fact remains that, despite what the raw numbers are, Israel has done an exemplary job of avoiding as many Gazan civilians as they have. More than any other nation in over 100 years of modern warfare.
Like I predicted. A nonsensical non-sequitur.
You're incapable of an actual intellectual discussion.
Netanyahu knew and decided to send the IOF away from Gaza.
He wanted a war to save his career from corruption charges.
He could have stopped it if he wanted on Oct 7.
Now he's wanted globally as a war criminal.
BS.
Regardless, Hamas was hellbent on slaughtering as many innocent Israelis as possible. The aftershocks were fully anticipated. Hamas was looking for slaughter and the concomitant reprisals. That was their goal and they got what they were looking for. Is that a problem for you?
Any reason that you seem a bit subdued this evening, Geno? Have you been chastised?
Netanyahu could have stopped it but he needed something to stall the corruption court case.
You know that
It's a distraction because rather than answering the question you ignored it and just asked your own question without providing an answer.
Hamas planned the attack for some time and had the element of surprise on their side. It didn't just spontaneously happen.
Israel didn't have the luxury of planning a counter attack ahead of time but responded immediately. Is that "right away" enough for you? Or do you want to distract more?
btw it was Oct 7th not Oct 6th. Can you at least get your facts straight?
