This is the tragic and effective dynamic every terrorist group relies on. No matter how horrific the attack, no matter how many hostages they refuse to release, if they wait long enough the liberal West will try to make concessions to them. https://t.co/nQWfMfvS40

And as long as the Western media put all the blame for the situation in Gaza on Israel – even to the extent of malicious fabrications. A famine in Gaza is just what Hamas want….

Keep Gaza starving, saith Hamas: There is a hysterical campaign by Hamas and its online sycophant accounts to attack Egypt, the UAE, Jordan, and all efforts to bring in food and humanitarian aid into Gaza to address the hunger crisis.

"Because regardless of slogans, Hamas actually wants a famine in Gaza and needs mass deaths from hunger, which is the group’s final play and last hope for ending the war in a way that is favorable to its goals…."

Also this thread….

For Western audiences, Hamas wants the war narrative to be about the suffering of Palestinian civilians, destruction of Gazan infrastructure and nothing else – for the obvious reason that this ensures steady public pressure on Israel and damages its war efforts & global image /2

"Hamas is giving Western media sources & their audience exactly what they have an appetite for: a restoration of the supposed truth -which went out of kilter on Oct. 7-that the Israelis are a brutal people with agency & that the Palestinians are helpless victims with no agency

"This restoration is also a palliative to guilt about worldwide mistreatment of Jews, past and present.

"For examples the likes of the French and Irish governments need feel no guilt over their shameful WWII roles if the Israelis are the new Nazis, perpetrators of genocide and mass starvation. They *want* these things to be true.

"In sum: it is a fact that the dominant war narrative outside of Israel and the Jewish press is Palestinian civilian suffering – and this is by calculated design. It is Hamas' great victory."
