Or escalate... And this is just what the militants have a desire to do... Escalate the situation so that they can replace the current political power structure in the PA.


This is just another version of "don't fight back, or you'll make them really mad and then, what will they do?"

I trust that Israeli intelligence has a pretty good handle on what Hamas' capacity is, and if, in fact, they have any room to 'escalate' or already are running at max. The fact that they approved the strike, and there has as of yet, been no successful response at all, would tend to confirm their judgment.

For the life of me, I don't see how Hamas is supposed to escalate. Aren't they already trying to commit genocide just as hard as they can? Before the strike, they tried to blow the chemical warehouses of the Ashdod port. Where is room to escalate? This is when some useful idiot of the Left usually steps in to explain to me how killing Yassin was counterproductive because Yassin was really a "moderate", he didn't mean all that stuff he preached about genocide.

I never expected you to second such ridiculous arguments.
