It appears that Hamas is about to get what it wanted–a ground invasion of Gaza. It will result in the loss of multiple thousands of lives, and even more misery. The point of the attack was to generate images of forlorn Palestinians in order to provoke the anger of Arab leaders, most prominently MBS and King Salman.
Did the Palestinians who are about to suffer as a result of this plan buy into it? Were they even consulted? Did they all decide that martyrdom was the way to go?
Of course not. Using your own people as props is despicable.
