Re: [Marxism] Hamas is hoping for an IDF ground operation

[Eli Stephens <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

While the article does attempt to back up this headline with the claim that 
"But Hamas officials and analysts said Monday that the organization  would 
actually like Israel to launch a ground operation; it hopes  this would let it 
inflict such heavy losses on Israeli tanks and  infantry that Israel would flee 
with its tail between its legs.," the basic thrust of this headline is right in 
line with the similar nonsense about how "Cuba really welcomes the U.S. 
blockade because it gives them an excuse for problems" or about how "Hamas 
really wants to prolong the war with Israel because it's what keeps them in 
power," etc. NO! What Hamas "is hoping for" is for ISRAEL TO STOP THEIR 
OPPRESSION OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE, just like what Cuba is "hoping for" is 
for the U.S. to stop the blockade and cease their 50-year economic (and 
shooting and terrorist) war against them.
