Hamas is undeniably evil, but they are not stupid. Their top priority is staying in power, and they will do whatever it takes—even sacrificing their own people—to achieve that goal.
Right now, Israel is making a calculated move by cutting off humanitarian aid to Gaza. The objective is clear: end the war faster by applying enough pressure to force Hamas into a position where they can no longer fight.
But Hamas isn’t just fighting a military war—they are fighting an information war, and Israel must do a better job of winning it.
Hamas’ Strategy: Play the Victim, Control the Narrative
- Hamas knows they cannot defeat Israel militarily.
- Instead, they focus on controlling the global narrative by using compliant media to demonize Israel.
- They intentionally embed military assets within civilian areas, ensuring that every Israeli response results in tragic images of suffe
ring that are spread worldwide. - Every child killed—whether by an Israeli airstrike or Hamas’ own reckless tactics—becomes a weapon in their propaganda war.
💡 Hamas understands that public opinion is just as powerful as military force. They will stretch out the suffering of their own people for as long as possible if it hurts Israel diplomatically and keeps them in power.
Israel’s Dilemma: Proportionality is a Recipe for Endless War
For years, the world has demanded that Israel respond with "proportional" force—but proportional responses do not end wars. They only ensure that conflicts drag on indefinitely.
🔴 When Israel strikes Hamas rocket launchers, Hamas rebuilds.
🔴 When Israel takes out a terror tunnel, Hamas digs another.
🔴 When Israel stops fighting, Hamas regroups and re-arms.
Israel cannot afford to keep playing this endless cycle of tit-for-tat warfare. Instead of measured, proportional responses, Israel must apply overwhelming pressure to break Hamas' ability to continue fighting once and for all.
Victory, not deterrence, must be the goal.
Winning the Information War: Israel Must Control the Narrative
Right now, Hamas is working overtime to paint Israel as the aggressor—and the international media is happy to play along.
📢 Israel must counter this with a clear, relentless message:
- We are ending the war as fast as possible.
- The suffering in Gaza is caused by Hamas’ refusal to surrender.
- The longer Hamas drags this out, the worse it will get for everyone.
💡 Israel must be proactive, not reactive. Instead of justifying its actions after the damage is done, Israel must get ahead of the narrative and make it clear:
✅ The blockade is not about punishing civilians—it’s about forcing Hamas to surrender faster.
✅ Every day the war continues, it is because Hamas refuses to give up.
✅ The fastest way to end the suffering is not through negotiations, but through total military pressure.
The Only Path to Peace is Overwhelming Force
- The world will always pressure Israel to show restraint.
- But restraint has only allowed Hamas to survive and fight another day.
- The only way to truly stop the suffering is to apply overwhelming pressure and break Hamas’ hold on Gaza permanently.
📢 It’s time to stop fighting an endless war. Israel must win decisively, and they must win the information war just as aggressively as the battlefield war.
What do you think? Should Israel continue applying pressure, or should it change tactics? Let’s discuss in the comments.
