The Palestinian militant group Hamas has recruited between 10,000 and 15,000 members since the start of its war with Israel, according to two congressional sources briefed on U.S. intelligence, suggesting the Iran-backed fighters could remain a persistent threat to Israel.
The intelligence indicates a similar number of Hamas fighters have been killed during that period, the sources said.
Decimating peoples’ homes turns them into radicals? I am surprised!
There must be some other explanation. I mean if the killed my grandparents, parents and a few siblings, maybe a kid or two etc., I’d not hold any grudges.
Yeah, you’re supposed to just turn the other cheek!
Shocking!
I mean only radicals as much as fighting Israeli occupation is a radical ideology, which is to say not very. I mean don’t get me wrong most of these new recruits (and many of the old ones) likely are radicals who would like to kill Jews and drink their blood, but this and that are different things.

Okay there’s apparently a typo in my original comment but even then I think it’s clear that I’m explicitly saying it’s not a radical ideology.
In that case, I appologize and take it back.
And the cycle continues. Next up it’s 5-15 years of low volume rocket fire from Palestine to Israel until full scale war breaks out again and Israel goes in to level the place.
Honestly, after the sheer volume of destruction that happened in this “war” I doubt they’ll get away with just low volume rocket fire. Gazans have just went through the second Nakba; expect more violence in the years to come.
Who would expect, that israelis murdering every non-jew would turn the victim families into radicals.
Fuck israel, Palestinians have any and all means available to them under international law as people under a brutal occupation to dislodge the parasite.
Calling it a war is intentionally misleading. Genocide, ethic cleansing. Did you hear netin suckadick yahoo said about Hitler not wanting to hurt Jews, but rather putting the Holocaust on one middle east guy. What a twat.
Who would have thought that murdering, raping, and pillaging an entire sect of people would have turned passive into activist, activist into active?
