But if Israel had not reacted the way it has, what is there for Hamas to fear Israel and not conclude, aha, we have found the sweet spot, Go and slaughter a few thousand civilians, Israel will do some 'sturm und drang' running a couple of bombing raids and back to normalcy. Eventually, we can convince them this is a bad neighborhood, and they should just go to a better place. Generally, success begets success. For example, after 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, U.S. concluded that Lebanon is a hellhole, let's just walk away and let them kill each other till eternity. Same with Somalia after the 1993 Black Hawk incident. So, my thinking is, may be Hamas planned on this and thought we will sacrifice Gaza for some long-term success. If so, what may be Hamas's idea of long-term success and how that may come about?
US defeated Al-Qaeda Network and convinced Afghan Taliban to not support Al-Qaeda Network and similar organizations in Doha Accords so there is no need to keep troops in Afghanistan. US is not supposed to rule in Afghanistan, this is the job of Afghans. US had to spend money to maintain an Afghan government otherwise. US can still take out terrorists in Afghanistan when spotted.Off topic but I will say you are making excuses and deep down you know that. Any occupying country, if it was successful in its occupation, especially after investing trillions of $$ and shedding thousands of its own lives, would have preferred to have kept at least a token presence in such a geopolitically important country, instead of leaving in the middle of the night, with security guarantees for the exit given by the same people who had just made the occupation untenable to hold anymore.
if israel were an illegal state, who is the legal one?Get out of their land Israel is a illegal state created on Palestinian lands
Yes, it looks like Hamas took a calculated risk of total loss of Gaza for the long-term gain of Palestine. It is a bold gamble and remains to be seen how it will fare in history. A poster above (Tamerlane) gave an interesting perspective that others may overlook. Hamas doesn't consider the war casualties as loss; they consider it as a celebration of people going to paradise. With that thinking, they can take large 'losses' (in the traditional sense) without accepting defeat. Iran used this tactic in its 'human wave' attacks during Iraq War during 1980-88.
This video might give you more insight into hamas thinking. Hamas knew very well that Israel will retaliate with extreme force and kill thousands of Palestinians. And Hamas is okay with it and sees it as a necessary sacrifice.
I thought HAMAS beheaded all the children? They playing with them like Fathers would play with them, perhaps they are their fathers? There is no shortage of lies and disinformation from Israel.The are 30 children held Hostage by Hamas , they filmed thrmselves kidnapping them , don't lie bluntly in the face of evidence.

This really is fascinating to find this sort of info on line.

How many Kurds have you killed?So if I understand you correctly, you mean that killing all the Palestinians in Gaza is the only solution left. You are describing a genocide.
You explain that Palestinians should not compare October 7th with the killing of more than 50,000 Palestinians by the IDF in the last 30 years. You take October 7th as a milestone, as a day all these started. You say that the marginalization of the Palestinians and the strengthening of Hamas in the face of the tens of thousands of deaths that preceded it was the Palestinians' own choice. So I now conclude that the IDF is also run by Hamas militants.
Turkey can't guarantee his safety, which is good. He'll end up in Iran I assume. Qatar is not safe either.~

Hamas leader Haniyeh asked to leave Turkey after attack on Israel: report - Turkish Minute
Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas's political bureau who was in İstanbul on Oct. 7 when Hamas militants carried out their deadly attack on Israel, was “kindly” asked to leave Turkey, in an apparent move to avoid a fresh confrontation with Israel, according a report on the Al-Monitor news website.www.turkishminute.com
