Unfortunately Hamas’s success was far beyond their expectations. They were left unchecked for hours and during that time chose to commit the worst type of atrocities.
In doing so, they validated Israelis fears that if the “Palestinians” could, they would torture, rape and kill every single Israeli including the elderly and children.
Israel is now a country in trauma and is driven be vengeance and fear.
Sadly, at this point, no amount of world criticism will make any difference.
The only way to prevent massive casualties on both sides is if Hamas releases the civilian hostages.
