Their backers and masters had every reason to expect the terror campaign would work exactly as intended. They still do have reasonable expectations of that.
Palestinians are pawns in a much bigger game. Israel has been paralyzed by leftist corruption of their government and their society. For that matter, so has America. A hard terrorist push just might cause both to fold.
And if that does not work, the atrocities of a retaliation can be used to demoralize Israel and America, while simulating opposition in every other country.
The suffering and deaths of Palestinians are a feature of the campaign. The Hamas backers do not care one bit about that, except to exploit the imagery.
We should not care about that either.
You are right about the Leftist incursion into Israel. Israel is the gayest place on the planet, as well as the Soros-funded anti-Bibi (Antifa-BLM-like) demostrations astroturfing the deep state’s hatred of him.
It mirrors here. The went inside out. These people want the NWO. It’s in your face.
No amount of latte’ in Georgetown or IRA at Fidelity and vacation on the Maine Coast can have you escape the reality of what they want to do to America and Israel.
The silly part is being are being used as pawns and literal crash dummies to make public perception. A fake media pushes a narrative to foster guilt, anger and self-hate.
This is going to end badly if Taiwan is taken/invaded by China.
