    What possible good did Hamas think was going to come from their actions?

    I believe I saw it in multiple news sources: The Iranian parliament screaming " Death to Israel, death to America!" and they got how many billions lately?

    I suppose one could believe that the funding coming from Iran could’ve been used by Hamas to aid the Palestinians in Gaza to reach peace and prosperity. But, I strongly suspect that Iran wouldn’t send much aid unless attacking Israel was part of the Hamas plan. Added to the hatred emboldened leaders of Hamas, and Iran would be more than ready to support their attack of Israel.

    The hope of Iran, though not for Hamas’ actual win over Israel, is the destabilization of the Middle East leading to a weakening of Israel with the help of Hezbollah’s northern attack. But, I strongly suspect that Israel will use this attack from Hamas as a pretext to confiscate most of the northern Gaza area and increase its settlement potential. It is a given, that any war with Israel by Hamas will be a loss due to the superior fire power of Israel. And Hezbollah, having more sense than Hamas and its seething hatred, will be more cautious with the use of any attack it may wage against Israel. In the end, Israel will win on all fronts, and will use this opportunity to confiscate most, if not all, of the Gaza strip for its own uses.

    If history is any indication, it cannot end at all.

    It is a religious war. The Islamic Mullahs have been preaching violence for over 40 years. They spur on the youth, and these savages believe that they have Allah’s blessing to muder all the non-believers, especially the Jews. Christ preached forgivness. Mohammed preached revenge.

    Sorry, man, but Israel has made sure that Gaza Palestinians have seen nothing resembling prosperity for decades.
