This “mastermind” just managed to lose Palestinians most public support and sympathy (and foreign aid from Germany, the EU and others), retroactively justify many of Israels harsh acts and security measures, and make large parts of the population at least indifferent to, if not supportive of, whatever Israel will now do to Gaza.
Good job?
Has public support done jack shit for them?
Every day Israel continues to commit crimes against humanity and we sit around giving our thoughts and prayers?
Also considering Israel has cut off water and denied food to 2 million people, don’t be surprised to see Israel’s goodwill evaporate far faster.
I think cutting off water is nothing compared to what most people are expecting and many actively condoning or calling for now.
Previously, there would be an uproar any time Israel targeted a “mixed use” building (residential building presumably with Hamas also having a base there). Now, the response to the bombing campaign and even cutting off the water is a lot more muted.
Seriously what did he think the outcome would be? Did he think all of the middle east would unite in support of a civilian murdering group? If Iran was part of the planning did he think they would help? Did he think they would win? I don’t know how one can’t see how these actions have done a great disservice to his cause.
