I get what you're saying, albaby. Hamas never had a chance to win militarily. Israel can't leave. Hamas doesn't want to leave. But they are winning the PR aspect at this point. Bombing hospitals has a bad look.

Hamas is as much an idea as a fighting force. Israel has knocked it down, but it will rise. And possibly with more support than it had before. I make no claim to knowing when the sweet spot of stopping combat operations, but I think that time has long past. Maybe 2 months ago. Maybe 4 months ago. I don't know. They have diminishing returns militarily, and growing negative PR, at this point in time.

How are the proposed agreements with other Arab nations going? Originally that was why Hamas attacked. Did they derail it? If so, they won.
