    Hamas is losing badly, they need to do what is customary of the losing side in a war and surrender. They are in no position to make demands of Israel.

      But Hamas isn’t really suffering. Many of their leaders live outside Gaza and really don’t care about what happens to the Palestinians. The more people Israel murders in their ethnic cleansing, the easier Hamas’s recruitment will go.

      This isn’t a war to them. At least these few months aren’t the war they’ve been fighting. They are in a decades old resistance. (Not too long before it reaches a century actually) That comes with all the resistance ideology. If you want an English language version of that go ask the Irish.
