29. The death of civilian Palestinians is part of Hamas' strategy
Mon Feb 5, 2024, 11:15 PM
Feb 2024

They’ve been very public that their strategy was to goad Israel into a massive reaction and then use the historic global revulsion at Israel to pressure them into a ceasefire.

Whereupon Hamas plans more 10/7 massacres “as many as it takes” until all the Jews are gone and Israel is wiped off the map. Over and over.

Hamas needs dead women and children. The more the better for their purposes (they’re a death cult but that’s another thread). They’re counting on gullible rubes falling for Kremlin propaganda about Israel so Hamas lives on
