      Interesting article to me.

      https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/06/sinwar-march-folly/683290/

      One would think that Yahya Sinwar, until recently the leader of Hamas in Gaza, had absorbed the lessons of 1967. But he overestimated his own capabilities, and those of the Iranian-led “Axis of Resistance.” Like the leaders of Iran, he spoke violently and with great confidence. He allowed his reasoning capabilities to be overwhelmed by conspiracism and supremacist Muslim Brotherhood theology. He also made the same analytical mistake Nasser had made: He underestimated the desire of Israelis to live in their ancestral homeland, basing his conclusion on an incorrect understanding of how Israel sees itself.

      In the end, the October 7 massacre Sinwar ordered did not cause the destruction of Israel but instead led to the dismantling of its enemies. Hamas is largely destroyed, and most of its leaders, including Sinwar, are dead, assassinated by Israel. Hezbollah, in Lebanon, is comprehensively weakened. Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, Iran’s main Arab ally, is in exile in Moscow, his country now led by Sunni Muslims hostile to Iran’s leaders. Iran’s skies are under the control of the Israeli Air Force, and its $500 billion nuclear program appears to be, at least partially, rubble and dust.

      Not since Nasser has anyone in the Middle East been proved so wrong so quickly.

          As much as I’d love to see the complete extermination of Hamas, I’m not sure it’s possible.

            Win/lose? Bringing the hostages back. How?

            Ridiculous hostage swaps, one for a thousand?
            Make the Gaza strip a country because it's somehow preferable to action against Hamas?

            Rewarding the perpetrators of 7th October atrocities in anyway is unacceptable. We need to enforce harsh deterrence.

                  I give him points for pursuing a course of action that could in theory solve most of the issue.

                  Education is extremely important.

                    Anything else just puts them back in the same spot in a few years. Something has to change the mindset.

                        Look on the bright side. they were likely Hamas there to intercept the aid.
