    That’s not what I’m accusing you of. I got that you’re pro-Palestinian, very clearly. I’m saying that Hamas is not in a strategically good situation, and if your opinion is that any ceasefire offers should be categorically refused by Hamas unless Hamas’s demands are met, despite Hamas currently being in a very bad position relative to Israel forces, and the intensified state of the Israeli genocide, you’re not being realistic.

    Any ceasefire that is accepted will necessarily favor Israel at this point, because Israel controls half of Gaza completely and is on the cusp of starving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to death. Not to mention the damage done to Hamas’s material capacities to resist. I don’t know that accepting this ceasefire is the right strategic choice, but I am certain that “Continue fighting until Palestinian independence is achieved in this phase of the Israel-Palestinian conflict” rather than accepting that not every battle is won in a decades-long war is just suicide on a national scale.

      Hamas barely lost any top ranking officers. Meanwhile israel is losing international support at lightning speed.

      The only one with their backs against the wall right now is israel. If they aren’t going to come through with a Palestinian state then Hamas doesn’t have much to lose right now by just dragging israel through the mud further.
