Hamas was formed because the Muslim brotherhood. And then it has continued to exist because of qatar, and then because of Iran. Hamas was formed because of radical islam. If it never existed the plo would have been able to negotiate a Palestinian state and end the occupation.

Hamas is not a state and so you cannot define them in terms of number of tanks or battle ships. They said near the end "hamas managed to breach the defences of one of the world's most advanced miltary". That says a lot about it's capabilities.

The movement considers the land of Palestine to be an Islamic stand and a historic homeland for Palestinians with Jerusalem as its capital. The movement adopts the institutional system organizationally, and the consultation adopts decision-making as represented in the Shura Council of the movement. The movement confines its resistance to the Israeli occupation only, and has no battle with any party in the world. It only resists those who fight the Palestinian people and occupy its territory, and resistance at Hamas is a means, not an end.

Using places and things civilians need, like hospitals, as a means to fight a war is considered a weapon of the weak. It is a way to use another side’s values against it. I think it is clear that Hamas has - in this war and historically - tried to embed themselves and weapons in places civilians live or visit, in order to make it more difficult for the Israelis to target them. One question in war is, “How do I raise the cost that my adversary has to incur in order to attack me?” Your goal is to gain a relative advantage at the lowest possible cost to yourself, and with the lowest possible benefit for your adversary. And in this case, the costs to Israel are damage to its reputation and legitimacy, among some people, because of the civilians it is killing in Gaza while targeting Hamas.

It was found in 1987 by Israil to fight against the PLO but pepper burns the gardener.

did you say that palestine was made in 1987, bro palestine was here before america even existed, even Christans say yes.
