A US counterterrorism expert explains the dynamics between Israel, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas – and why Hezbollah presents new risks for the US and other places globally.
I can’t see Israel not accelerating towards fascism and repression after the last year. But I wouldn’t ascribe this to Hamas planning because they haven’t shown themselves to be that strategic or intelligent.
E: Anyone looking at this comment funny should look at the latest polls in Israel. Specifically the popularity of right wing and settler nationaltst parties. Also look at the opinions about the war among Israeli Jews and non-Jews. Finally look at recent polls about right/left lean and compare it to older ones. Then think how things are gonna go in the aftermath when a minority raises this issue while the majority has to keep up the belief that the deaths are a lie and if they aren’t they were unavoidable, and if they weren’t unavailable they’d become terrorists anyway.
Hamas is getting what it wanted, albeit slowly.
