Hamas brass says the quiet part out loud: Rising death toll of his own people is just a ‘material calculation’ and a ‘price that must be paid’

Sami Abu Zuhri, the current spokesman for Hamas, just said the quiet part out loud while living a life of luxury in Qatar: the Arab Palestinian lives in Gaza under Hamas’s rule are nothing more than pawns in a greater Caliphate good chess game, “material calculations” and a “price that must be paid” for Hamas to continue on its quest for terroristic subjugation. After all, the “wombs” of Gaza women will simply produce more—as another Islamist quipped, Israel has nuclear bombs, Muslims have “offspring bombs.”

Here’s the story on Abu Zuhri, from an article by Ronny Reyes at the New York Post:

A fat cat senior Hamas official is facing backlash within Gaza after he claimed the growing Palestinian death toll is nothing more than ‘material calculations’ for the terror group.

In an interview that has now gone viral inside the enclave, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri, 58, said the latest estimates of more than 53,000 dead in Gaza are not a concern for his group, the Times of Israel reported.

Of course it is. They have objectives to meet. They love death. The martyrs help meet those objectives.

OK, The terms are acceptable.

Eliminating those offspring bombs will be easier, while nuclear is forever.

Hamas leadership are simply emulating British generals in the 17 and 1800s.

The Israelis care more about the lives of Palestinian civilians than do Hamas. Just a fact.

If the Israelis truly were indifferent to the lives of civilians, the death toll would have been in the high six figures, and the war would have ended a year ago. If they were intent on actual genocide, the death toll would be in the millions.

Hamas in Qatar must be totally eradicated by a rash of strokes and heart attacks. Until Hamas in Qatar is destroyed completely, there can be no end of the war in Gaza

Why isn’t the Mossad going after the billionaire and multi-millionaire Hamas members in Qatar and other places?

So the Israeli calculation has to be to kill ALL Hamas but leave the Gazans that are left.

Far too many political leaders breezily apply that calculation.

I give credit to Trump for at least outwardly being above that.

Slit his throat twice, just in case.

The dozens of hostages released have a common theme: "there is not one, ONE, humane/sincere/sane Palestinian civilian".

I’m not sure I know the answer to that question.

What do you think?

When President Trump visited Qatar and they discussed all things, why did President Trump on advice of his State Department and more probably Defense Department, not make the Emir an offer he could not refuse regarding the eradication of Hamas in Qatar?

Why did Saudi Arabia and the UAE reconcile with Qatar and allow Hamas to continue to exist there?

There seems to be much more to the reason than I can comprehend. And, It is definitely not Muslim unity as most here will scream.
