In what world does Hamas slaughtering Israeli civilians lead to peace? That’s madness. Peace only happens when both sides come together. The Saudis were close to negotiating a peace deal with Israel right before the Hamas attack happened.

Palestinian lives were about to get better. That’s why Hamas attacked when they did.

Hamas has already done far more than their fair share of peace. The only language Israel understands is violence. Hamas is the only reason Israel is even considering a ceasefire. If you think Hamas killing Israelis is not in the benefit of all Palestinians, you're a fool.
