"Drag Israel into a long protracted attritional conflict in Gaza" was a political objective, and that was achieved. Did Hamas win?
It's a really stupid stick to measure things by, in my eyes.
- TheCoelacanth 7mo agoDoes the value of that political objective outweigh the costs? Considering that it resulted in mass starvation among their own people, I doubt it. A war that doesn't achieve a political objective has no benefit, so any cost outweighs that and it is not a victory; it is just pointless destruction.
