Did Hamas think that their Oct 7th attack would lead to

3. What did the Israel government think its decades of apartheid would lead to?

Love and harmony?

The nonsense perspective that there was no history of oppression, conflict, savagery (on both sides ), hate and mass killings BEFORE October 7th is insulting. Did you think Palestinians should have gone strictly the MLK route to get their rights? How many decades should they have sung “we shall overcome” before the world took collective action? How passive should they remain as Israel flaunted its disrespect of laws by increasingly taking land from Palestinians? The difference between Israel and apartheid South Africa (whose forces both trained together and learned from one another for a certain period of time) is that the world stepped up and helped force the white minority SA government out of power. The world doesn’t come close to putting such economic and political pressure on Israel; not because global communities think Israel is right, but because people don’t want to be charged with anti-semitism. Such cowards.

There was no Hamas before Israel made Gaza an open air prison. It’s easy for someone to criticize Hamas’ terrible albeit desperate actions on October 7th. But I know if someone try to inflict such oppression upon American citizens my countrymen wouldn’t last a week before pulling out the guns and acting like “ terrorists” against both the regime that was holding them down and any citizens benefiting from it.
