        US Law states that we’ll do anything and everything in our power to make sure no US official ever sees justice. So, no I highly doubt it.

        Unfortunately no US president will ever face a war crimes tribunal, despite the devastation and mass murder they’ve caused. In 2016 alone, Obama dropped an average of 3 bombs every hour on the middle east and north africa. Its a sad truth that none of these people will ever have to pay for their crimes.

      Middle management is probably not having fun but the higher leaders of Hamas got exactly what they wanted.

        What exactly was the strategy? Provoke Israel into overreacting and then hope every other country in the region would be forced to step in?

        In marketing we get told ‘hope is not a strategy’.

          the plan ended at provoke Israel into overreacting imo

          israel ethnically cleansing gaza is a win in hamas’ book, not a loss

            It has been happening and it was going to continue happening. Didn’t Israel just annex more West Bank?

            Hamas chose now for whatever reason. The only real beneficiary here is the Russian Federation and their war crimes in Ukraine.

          I don’t claim to know what their ultimate strategy is but it would seem that

          Provoke Israel into overreacting

          is a central part of it. And that part worked.

          But I guess the plan could be

          1. Provoke Israel
          2. ???
          3. Paradise!
