    V-E day happened about a month after Hitler killed himself.

    Fascists will tend to fight a little longer even after their strongman leader is dead. And Sinwar didn’t off himself, he died fighting so that could be used for propaganda purposes by Hamas.

    But after a few months of fighting in the ruins where their homes used to be and without the strongman leader they’ll begin to question what they’re even fighting for.

    Most fascist movements just fade away over time, but sometimes this is how fascism has to be defeated.

        Hamas is a group that’s anti-democracy, lead by a strongman (or at least it was), whose political goals are centered around blood and soil, ethnic cleansing and genocide. They tick all of the fascist boxes.

      yeah it probably would’ve helped to bring in hamas leaders alive and in custody. seems sorta like israel’s strategy is weirdly not about bringing a timely end to the fighting

        Sure in an ideal world Sinwar would be put on trial. But it didn’t look like Sinwar was going to turn himself in peacefully.
