“Mental gymnastics.” Hamas forced a massive gunbattle in the heart of a populated area to prevent a rescue of hostages. Hamas will always prefer dead Palestinians to living ones. It’s literally the organization’s only strategy for surviving this war. It literally has no other plan than to cause so much Palestinian suffering that the world forces Israel to heel. It takes some clever “mental gymnastics” to ignore that simple point, even when Hamas itself keeps saying it out loud. https://bird.makeup/@raphmim/1799692063870697736
