Mister Terrific
It’s in the name
I think Palestinian terrorism was working as to why they had the US and Israel at the negotiating table multiple times. They missed their chance because they weren’t politically organized and had no clear vision other than the impossible task of Israel not existing. Consequently it was when Palestine was viewed as a more left adjacent organization.no, I know there was an Arab revolt due to the influx of jews into Palestine. I'm specifically talking about the tactic of terrorism as we know it today. Targeting areas where civilians gather with bombs (trains, busses, markets, cinemas, etc.). Since Hamas is labeled as the terrorists in this conflict and therefor are painted as the villains it's interesting that the roots of terrorism in that part of the world are never credited to the jews. The European Jewish militias in Palestine referred to themselves as terrorists. In my opinion they are still terrorists till this day. I consider Israel a terrorist state.
And those that say Hamas are terrorists and nothing will ever be accomplished by using terrorism. Well just look at what came out of a decade of terrorism by the European jews. The land they were committing terrorism on was awarded to them and they got their sovereign nation. So there wasn't much of a penalty or punishment for all that terrorism. Seems to me like it accomplished their goal. Or at the very least the terrorism did not hinder them from accomplishing their goal. And we are not talking about ancient history. It was less than 100 years ago. And they weren't being oppressed by the Arabs or Brits in the way Palestinians are being oppressed by Israel.
Otherwise you can’t seriously believe hamas has brought the current course of events any closer to resolution favorable to the Palestinians.
If Hamas had taken the hostages, reduced collateral deaths by not murdering everyone at a dance festival and exchanged the hostages even if it wasn’t a 1 to 1 transaction the propaganda victory would’ve been immense. Netanyahu likely gets ousted as well.
Instead they’re cooked. Just an overall disastrous strategic blunder
