If you're able to ignore the limbs blown off babies and look at the "war" as an intellectual exercise, Hamas were smart as hell unleashing the attack.
They absolutely knew Israel would go all America on their arse and massacre thousands of people, and Israel promptly did exactly what they thought.
As well as growing a whole new generation of terrorists across the entire islamic world, they've also managed to turn vast swathes of the world against Israel. Whereas "Free Palestine" marches would attract a few hardcore followers, we now have hundreds of thousands of people turning up.
Someone's been studying Game Theory in Gaza and they're winning all the way.
There's something very disturbing about a world where deliberately targetting a dance party for death, destruction, and rape is a smart move.'
But it may very well turn out to be so.
But is it really? Have they played the game correctly? Have they set the objectives appropriately, or will they get stuck at a local maximum? In other words, support for their cause has certainly been more vocal in the past month than at any other time in history, so that's winning, right? Well, maybe.
The thing is, what's their actual cause, and do the people demonstrating in their favor understand it? When crowds of US college students chant "from the river to the sea", do they understand what they are saying? That phrase is actually starting to get some attention in the US press.
Some of them took up that chant in front of Rashida Tlaib. It got enough attention that she had to explain what it meant. You see, according to Rashida, it is for a land with equal rights and democracy for all people in all of Palestine. Well that sure sounds good to me. Yay! From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free! That's awesome.
Except it''s bullshit. She's just plain lying. The actual meaning of the phrase, and the actual win condition for the people who chose to throw handrenades into homes on a kibbutz, is the elimination of the State of Israel completely, replacing it with a typical Islamo-fascist "Islamic Republic", where Jews are dead, exiled, or maybe a few will remain as maginalized subjects.
When these mush-minds at our elite universities understand what that slogan really means, and the real aims of the Palestinian leadership really is, will the support stick? I don't know.
