Hamas forced into a spasm of action, in desparation, because the alternative is, slow strangulation and demise.
A the very least, Hamas has shown the Middle East and the world, the true character of the Israeli occupation regime and the massive duplicity of the United States, and the slave like attitude of the pathetic Europeans, who seem at the same time to be pretentious and utterly foolish.
Everything now hinges on Hamas and how long they can hold out and continue their resistance to the Israeli war machine. The longer they survive as a military group, the more sympathy they receive from fellow Muslims and the possibility that their bravery and spirit, their willingness to sacrifice themselves, will force an intervention.
If the true death toll, including those buried under the rubble, is closer to twenty thousand, than ten, and a thousand are being killed a day; then we'll soon be nearer to thirty thousand dead Palestinians. Is that ghastly figure the tipping point, or does it have to go higher still?
