 File under: Hamas 

#1 The Fatah official reportedly reacted to the Hamas offer in disbelief: "You’re out of your minds."

They weren't really out of their minds though.

The US&NATO were shamefully defeated in the 9/11 war and in the aftermath of 10/7 Islam has become much more relevant within the West.

For mainstream Muslims 9/11 and 10/7 were moments of triumph and the Western powers were shamed and humiliated by their respective defeats and by falling victim to atrocities.

The Western strategy of surgically applying superior military power has made our foes hate us more and fear us less.

They fear public shame and a loss of face and a rational Western strategy would aim to publicly shame and humiliate including by non-violent means (*).

But alas, this would be politically incorrect.

(*) Think of something like publicly and graciously forfeiting our right to extract monetary compensation for 9/11 from Afghanistan.
