There's no need to be rude.
It's obvious that killing Israeli civilians is not working for all those Hamas-supporting Palestinians, since their world is literally exploding around them as Israel is reluctantly forced to respond in kind.
You see, Kitt, to paraphrase a quote from a famous movie, the Hamas militants just can't repel the firepower that the IDF has brought to bear. It appears that Hamas' undying hatred of all things Israeli has blinded them to the obviousness of their situation, which is simply this: they will lose, and lose badly, and gain nothing except even worse living conditions for the Palestinian civilian population that Hamas has supposedly vowed to protect. Rather than protection, the impoverished lot of Gaza have been exposed to even more misery and strife.
This will be yet another tragedy that could have been so easily avoided, but no, killing Jews somehow had a far higher priority for all these "peaceful" Islamists. The terrible consequences have naturally followed, and you know this to be true, Kitt.
