How is force working for Hamas? The shift in general sentiment towards Israel came from Israel's blatant disregard for civilian life and from their apartheid politics being put in spotlight. Hamas are still regarded as terrorist savages by everyone sane and their Oct 7 attack served as an excuse for Israel to set them back and hunt them regardless of collateral casualties, terrorizing their compatriots

You seem to think the conflict will be decided by the vibes and sentiments of people who don't matter.
Why would you think so? The conflict will most likely be decided by Israel (and by extension USA) having the biggest influence both globally and locally, and the biggest guns, but there is no misconception about it, so I decided not to add it.

Brilliantly. It coaxed an Israeli overreaction which has led to basically the entirety of the rest of the world turning against Israel.

Why would Hamas care? They remain firmly in control of Gaza, while their cause is winning hearts and minds globally.

It’s sounds like you think it’s brilliant that more Palestinians were killed as long as it negatively affected Israel’s PR.
Typical Jewish troll, none of the comments suggested an endorsement of Hamas’s approach.
Noone is responsible for others' (overre)actions.

So if you think justice for Palestinian civilians is their cause, it's not them who are responsible for it winning hearts and minds globally

While there are useful idiots in any situation (especially inside the UN), the level of sympathy for them - while was never high is going down steadly
