You're telling me that indiscriminately killing brothers, sisters, father, mothers, kids, and uncles while systematically destroying the entirety of civil infrastructure isn't effective in countering militant resistance movements? Wow I'm shocked!
I know, who would have thought that destroying everything people value and taking away every semblance of hope for a safe and prosperous future might drive people to undertake dangerous, desperate actions to try and regain some control and structure to their lives
It was never about destroying Hamas. Netanyahu needs Hamas to justify his genocide.
And to stay in power
Yup. More people joining is a feature, not a bug.
Crazy how this strategy didn't work the hundreds of times the US tried before and still doesn't work. It's almost like it makes everything worse, empowering rogue militias and overall just destabilizing regions.
Almost like the purpose isn't to stabilize regions but to create regions of perpetual warfare and instability. That would only benefit people in the business of warfare, like the main exporters of weapons in the world.
