>If the goal was to kill Israelis, torture and humiliate them then yes it was a tremendous success.

Which I'd argue is the whole point of what they are doing. That and getting the world, well, not on their side exactly, but on not-Isreals-side. Which they are slowly getting. I'd call this a huge success (for them - not for the poor people, of course).

The world is definitely not on their side
The world is definitely a lot more on the side of the Palestinians now than before October 7. Israel has lost the public support around the world. Not surprising since it is basically committing a genocide against the people of Gaza.
Hamas is not the Palestinians. There's no Western country with meaningful support for Hamas, the only places where that exists are Islamic countries.
"That and getting the world, well, not on their side exactly, but on not-Isreals-side."

I think we're saying the same thing. We're talking about the public support moving away from Israel and for the Palestinian people.
