This is why Hamas won’t surrender
Sinwar is basking in the residual effect of Israel’s self-defense since October 7, delighting in the fruit of the labors of those who may not necessarily want to be counted as his helpers
Eli Podeh, teacher of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem asks why Hamas, a relatively insignificant organization in contrast to powerful countries, refuses to bend to pressure from the United States, Eqypt, and Qatar. What could Hamas mastermind Yahya Sinwar be thinking? Is it just that he is a delusional psychopath, devoid of rational thinking?
Probably not. Sure, he’s the devil incarnate, but he is not altogether insane.
Sinwar, who clearly still has a pipeline to the outside world, is doubtless aware of the many young people, along with progressives and the usual assortment of antisemites, have turned viciously on Israel, and by extension on all Jews. He doubtless knows that mainstream media and global agencies blame Israel for all the Gazans’ suffering – from being displaced to experiencing alleged starvation and the unjustified murder of their people.
It’s fair to say that the Jewish homeland has not experienced this type of collective condemnation, outrage, and castigation in its 76-year history, causing many to wonder whether the Israelis are, in fact, the monsters they are made out to be. At a time when Israel is accused of committing “genocide” by international courts and sovereign countries, such as South Africa: Why would Sinwar even lift a finger to do anything? After all, if things are imploding, just take a front-row seat and watch it happen.
