Question

I wanted to post this as a comment on the question about the current deal, but there’s a problem with the site: I can’t manage to post comments, and the site just deletes them:
Michi, after a year and three months of war in which tens of thousands of Hamas fighters have been killed (and tens of thousands of new fighters have been recruited), along with Gazan civilians, maybe it’s time to understand that Hamas will not surrender. Just like in Vietnam, where the U.S. was sure that if they bombed the miserable Vietnamese endlessly, they would surrender and accept their democracy. So too here: if you think Hamas will suddenly surrender just because you keep killing their people, that’s simply not the case. Hamas has broad public support in Gaza, so it has no reason to stop fighting. Besides, in its own consciousness it is defending Gaza against “the Zionist occupier,” so in their eyes the war looks even more justified and worth fighting.
