Hamas lost the war months ago. Yet it refuses to do what every defeated belligerent does which is to disarm, accept the surrender or exile of what remains of its leadership, release the hostages it holds, and agree to cease hostilities. If it did, there would be no more war and the focus would shift to reconstruction and reviving an Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Hamas’s failure to do so guarantees more war and more death, mainly for the people it claims to serve. Those who cheer Hamas as some bastion of “resistance” are cheering the certain deaths that come from their insistence on war.
