Disgusting thing about Hamas, #34,296

Asymmetric warfare, man. On what planet do you think they would wear uniforms and fight like a "regular army?"
The goals of the Hamas leadership are more political than tactical/military. Survival on a rubble heap with dead Palestinian children all around them can still be a strategic victory to that kind of leadership. As long as they retain power (because of their capacity to pull the toenails out of anyone who disagrees ... before slitting their throat, of course) they believe they've won. And they have a core of fighters and potential fighters who will fight and murder over and over again, nurtured by old and now by new grievances.
