Hamas is known to have redundancies in place for cases like this. What is the goal of this? It seems like this is just going to create a Martyr, and won’t materially benefit Israel, just sour peace talks (unless that’s their aim).

Would make sense, sadly. We will see.
That sounds like a terrible decision to make considering 50% of Israelis live in the 30 most populated cities, cities which are all clustered together and very bombable… then again, I don’t think jets from the late 70s would fare well against Israel’s very modern air defenses. An ancient F-14 or a MiG-29 would probably spontaneously collapse at the sight of a Patriot SAM operated by Israel.

Iran already defeated said defences pretty easily with not even their best missiles just few months ago.
They haven’t been behaving rationally for some time.
Depends on what’s considered “rational.” They’ve been successful as a genocidal settler-colonial ethnostate, but I think they are getting increasingly desparate as the international community notices their cracking mask.
i think ‘rational’ is sticking to the two-state solution. ‘Liberal’ Zionism is fading away.
If we are actually trying to solve the root cause of the conflict, then the only answer is a dissolution of the Israeli state, replacing it with a single, all-encompasing secular state with minority protections, and equal citizenship rights for Palestinians and Israelis. This won’t stop the new state from being a dog of US Imperial interests, of course, but would cease the genocide.
yea i know, I was talking from the Israeli Zionist perspective. Of course, a one state solution is the best solution.
Ah, gotcha. Well, for Zionists, acknowledging Palestinian Statehood ends their settler-colonial aspirations, so they won’t do it. They need to get the US fully involved in a broader Middle East war.
Then their perspective is different, because Isn’treal oppose even the two state solution at every step.
Sadly, there are too much religious nutjobs for this to work
Why?
They believe they’re better and should have more rights than other people
He was suing for a ceasefire. Can’t have that.
Clearly israel is not interested with negotiation.
