You say there was no military objective on 7 October 23? Did you think the global demonstrations the next day were spontaneous? Really? The Easter Bunny tells you that?
The objective was to start a global intifada, as Colorado clearly showed last week.
You can't cage a mad dog; you have to put it down.
My memory of the day after was sympathy for Jews and Israel. It was after the Israeli response that people kind of forgot all about Oct 7 and started condemning Israel.
My memory, and that of the mass media, was that the chanting and banner waving and attacks on Jews started globally within hours of the last attacker returning to Gaza. It just got worse after Israel finally responded.
OK, our memories differ. Or maybe we were looking at different things.
I have no doubt that Hamas figured on working public sentiment. Israel can't win in the theater of public opinion, so they will win in the theater where they have the advantage.
