The "handover" of the Bibas family's bodies as as maximally provocative as possible, just shy of openly defiling the bodies, because Hamas doesn't actually want a ceasefire, they want Israel to break one. They were doing great in the court of public opinion with the war going on.
well they're the ones who had tens of thousands of their civilians murdered and are staring down total annexation by either Israel or the US- not that their actions are justifiable, but they are *understandable* to a point
also this kind of just blase tone about them "doing good in the court of public opinion" is, like, just beyond stupid. i wish i could say "shut up dumb american" but unfortunately i am one too
Hamas' war effort is about getting the rest of the world to see Hamas as glorious liberators and riding in to destroy the state that they can't possibly destroy themselves. PR is terrorism 101, and Hamas' leaders openly said they thought when lots of Gazans were being killed it was great for them
I make no judgments or statements beyond "if you think Hamas actually gives a single fuck about Gazan dead you are extraordinarily naive." Neither the IDF or Hamas care about Gazans at all. That's not a defense of Israel, it's just a clear eyed understanding both governments are run by bastards.
