'We will repeat October 7 again and again' - Hamas official

[EndlessWire]

77. You indicate that Netanyahu will

apparently label just anyone as Hamas according to his preference. This is just a supposition on your part.

I think that you are naive on the matter that a simple ceasefire and brisk talking will end this war. Be prepared for all the rest of the hostages to disappear into history, as my supposition is that Hamas is using them in attempts to gain advantage in the war. A ceasefire to negotiate for hostage release is not going to happen, as that is not the intent of Hamas. Here they are actually trying to fan the flames of war. Here it is always the other guy that dies, not them. They are ready to sacrifice not only the noncombatants, but their own soldiers just as long as they keep the hostilities burning.

Your overall post smacks of antisemitism, although that is a popular dig and I don't think you meant it. I think that what Hamas did is beyond just breaking international law. It was a crime against humanity, which Hamas just indicated they will repeat. You have to ask yourself why would Hamas publicly voice their hatred like this? They want to keep the war going with their dedication to Israel's destruction, so better to scream a war cry to their fellow Arabs, without which their annihilistic dream will never happen.

They're getting their own asses kicked. There was no justification for what they did, and certainly none for what they are saying. No, Israel will not get rid of all of Hamas. But they can take control of Gaza back, and give it to the Palestinians, who I think will think twice or thrice before they reelect those hideous monsters. If they do reelect Hamas, then the next time Hamas decides to butcher humans, they will be nothing but a parking lot, regardless. As steep as the price is, Hamas has got to go. And, they won't go voluntarily.

In the grand scheme of things, it's good to care deeply about other humans and what happens to them. But sometimes you have to suck it up and do what you have to do.
