Since October 7, one of the most inconvenient facts in the entire debate has become impossible to ignore: Hamas does not merely tolerate Palestinian civilian suffering—it exploits it, it wants it.
Many observers who were previously unaware of this (longstanding Arab "Palestinian" leaderships) reality were confronted with it in 2024 when reporting revealed internal communications from Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. According to the reporting, Sinwar viewed mounting Palestinian casualties and destruction not as a strategic failure, but as a strategic success. The more devastating the war became for Gaza, the greater the international pressure on Israel, the greater the diplomatic isolation of Israel, and the greater the political benefit to Hamas.
This was not a secret. It was the strategy.
The logic is brutally simple: Hamas launches attacks from within densely populated civilian areas, provokes a massive Israeli military response, then uses the resulting images of suffering to win sympathy abroad, inflame international opinion, and weaken Israel's freedom of action. Civilian casualties are not merely an unfortunate consequence of the conflict. They are central to Hamas's political warfare model.
Hamas officials themselves have repeatedly said as much. Within weeks of the October 7 massacre, Hamas figures openly spoke of sacrifice and portrayed the deaths of Gazans as a price worth paying in the struggle against Israel. The message was unmistakable: the movement's objectives take precedence over the lives and welfare of the civilians it claims to represent.
By May 2026, voices within the broader Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood ideological orbit were expressing this worldview with remarkable candor. Nawaf Al-Takrouri praised October 7 for producing "fantastic gains," described Gaza's devastation as a "natural price" of the campaign, and declared that the liberation of Al-Aqsa may require "one million martyrs." The only criticism was that the burden of sacrifice should be shared more widely across the Muslim world.
Such statements expose a profound moral reality. While Israel is routinely condemned for the human cost of the war, Hamas and its ideological allies openly celebrate, justify, and even glorify that cost when it serves their objectives. One side views civilian deaths as a tragedy. The other repeatedly portrays them as an acceptable, necessary, and even honorable instrument of political struggle.
This is why the international conversation so often misses the heart of the conflict. The debate frequently assumes that civilian casualties create pressure for peace. Hamas's own leaders have made clear that they believe civilian casualties create pressure on Israel—and that is precisely why they are willing to endure them.
The greatest tragedy is that ordinary Palestinians are trapped between a terrorist movement that treats their suffering as a strategic asset and a war that Hamas deliberately helped bring upon them. Far from protecting Palestinian civilians, Hamas has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to sacrifice them in pursuit of its ideological and military goals.
You have these fakestinian islamists propagating in our US media.

islam is a war plan.
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
The whole point of the Islamic death cult terror groups is to sacrifice their own people on the alter of Allah where Israel or the West are the bad guys.
Since 1917 the Arabs (before they were newly termed, “PALEOstinians” by Arfart) they had an unspoken motto: kill and be killed for Palestine”. In other words they live to become martyrs, (Shahids). They live to kill and destroy, not REALLY build their own state but ONE GOAL AND ONE GOAL ONLY: eliminate Israel and the Jewish people.
They have great experience in this from the 1930’s on with their great religious leader in Jerusalem, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. He gained his experience as a person who loves atrocities when he served in the Turkish Ottoman Army in WWI and help massacre Armenians. SO too he hope to do the same AGAINST THE Jews of British Mandate Palestine by aligning himself and HIS PEOPLE with Hitler.
Call it “tradition” but the Arabs are the slugs of humankind. Maybe one day if the join the human race and stop their congenital lying peace might have a chance.
(Since October 7)
The Israel-haters increased
Bizarre
