It was a terrible idea. If Hamas was going to do it it should have first declared war. Then according to the Bearcat doctrine what Hamas did would have been moral (but still a terrible idea).
Another thought for you to consider, instead of Hamas building tunnels and acquiring military equipment to prosecute a war against Israel ,wouldn't it have been better to use those hundreds of millions of dollars to benefit the Palestinian people. Who benefits from keeping the Palestinians in generational poverty?
Yes, it would have been better. Israel has done the same thing, you know. Their military HQ is located deep under a mall in a shopping district, and Mossad HQ is surrounded by residential districts. Gaza and the West Bank are occupied territories, surviving under the boot of the Israeli military. People in occupied territories are allowed to resist (think of the Polish resistance against the occupying Nazi forces). On the one hand Oct 7 seems like a blunder for the ages. But on the other hand Israel’s over the top reaction has exposed it for what it has been for the world to see. Its very carefully constructed facade as the perpetual victim has vanished.
Yeah, reducing Gaza to rubble, murdering tens of thousands of innocent people and trying to do the same thing to Lebanon would be considered by most rational people as an over the top reaction.
