It's hard to be pro-prisoner
I sympathized with the Palestinian, jailed up as they were in the Gaza strip, totally controlled and locked down by Israel.But what that attack reminded me most of was a prison break. Desperate, violent people striking out and killing whoever they can get their hands on, with no regard for human life, kidnapping, etc. "Desperate" is the key word.
Did they think this would ultimately help the people of Gaza? Did they think they would get the world's sympathy when they attacked like that? They'll get sympathy like we'd give prisoners sympathy, namely, not much, and only when it's all contained again. Meanwhile thousands will die, Israeli and Palestinian alike. I guess one thing that can be said is that it's not advisable to attend raves in southern Israel.
Gaza is now without electricity; all economic aid will be choked too. The Palestinian people, who actually had an economic revival going, are now back at square one with squalor that they can only thank Hamas for. Did Hamas plan in such a way that they thought they would win, and get freedom, and eliminate Israel?
I don't think so.
