But Mr TheOne, if Hamas "deserted", who is responsible for the deaths of the IDF soldiers?

And don't conflate Hamas fighters with the political arm of Hamas - they are separate entities - even if Israel refuses to make that distinction.
Its just like the IRA & the ANC had fighters and politicos doing diplomatic work during negotiations etc.
Plus, who do you think are holding the Israeli hostages? And if Hamas deserted, who is Israel fighting, EH?
In other words, the idea of a Hamas desertion is an Israeli myth - its propaganda and a talking point.

Yes, there are different eyes, but there's only one reality on the ground: ISRAEL IS COMMITTING A GENOCIDE IN GAZA, not Hamas, not Arabs, not ancient Egyptian civilizations etc.
Now apologize for taking sooo long to get to this point. And I still want to know your exact address in Brussels
