Hamas had more than enough power on October 7 to murder and kidnap a whole lot of people. They also have the funding and power to build a network of tunnels under Gaza which has so far thwarted the IDF's capacity to find the kidnapped civilians and bring them home.

They're not all-powerful. But thats cold comfort to everyone who lost loved ones in the attack. They sure kicked Israel in the teeth.



Yes, obviously, but my point is that focusing on them, or even treating them as equal, is not the most effective way to actually solve the problem.

Designating someone as a "bad person" and then focusing on punishing them is simple and feels good. It's just not effective.
