Either win, lose, or surrender. Maybe a fourth option is stalemate.

But surrender or die is pretty much how war is waged while both sides are intent on winning.

And hamas is still in the mode of attacking. They are still on the path to exterminate. They don't support any coexistence. There is no peace in their plan.

Those are their words. Not Palestinian words. Hamas words.
