    Hamas knows that the israeli government will try their best to kill all israeli hostages

    That is unlikely as there is no record of that directive being (allegedly) invoked after 2016 towards civillians.

    But they hoped the israeli populace would pressure their government harder

    Pressure their government harder to do what exactly?

      The video I linked has evidence of multiple instances that israeli generals and soldiers were given the Hannibal directive this time.

      Please watch it

        Me watching it has nothing to do with my questions above. Please read them properly.

        Unless what you propose is that hamas watched that video, got back in time with the knowledge that “this time Israel will do such a thing” and attacked…

          Hamas tried a peaceful demonstration in 2018 and then got brutally slaughtered by israel so now they’re asking less nicely.

            I think calling that demonstration peaceful is at least a simplification but let’s forget that.

            “Asking less nicely” you say. But I don’t see proofs of that really being the purpose of hamas actions. Asking in a way that would not lead to further deaths of your own people should have been the way.

            Yet they were building rockets instead of defenses all this time. If they couldnt eradicate all that they needed/wanted (the whole Israel I guess) why even start something like the October 7 attack?

              How do you think the Nazi’s went away?

              Did we ask them very nicely to stop Genociding?

                Are you comparing Israel to nazi? It doesn’t seem like they were doing a nice job at genociding as the Palestinians population was increasing steadily during last years.

                I’m asking again, about the basic logic of any actions. Whoever planned the October 7 attack, were not going for success. If they valued lives of Palestinians (their own) they would do something else, or use something else.

                  Israel is currently killing more children in Palestine each day than the Nazi’s did in one of their biggest concentration camps at the height of the Holocaust.

                  Yes I am comparing israel to the Nazi’s. That is the most apt comparison.

                    Israel is currently

                    Yeah you mean after the October 7. Reading your comments, hamas were shocked by current events and decided to do that attack. The scenario is missing a time machine though. And possibly some logic.

                    We may as well see Putin announcing that he started the war because NATO decided to expand through Finland.
