    Hamas is known to have redundancies in place for cases like this. What is the goal of this? It seems like this is just going to create a Martyr, and won’t materially benefit Israel, just sour peace talks (unless that’s their aim).

        Depends on what’s considered “rational.” They’ve been successful as a genocidal settler-colonial ethnostate, but I think they are getting increasingly desparate as the international community notices their cracking mask.

            If we are actually trying to solve the root cause of the conflict, then the only answer is a dissolution of the Israeli state, replacing it with a single, all-encompasing secular state with minority protections, and equal citizenship rights for Palestinians and Israelis. This won’t stop the new state from being a dog of US Imperial interests, of course, but would cease the genocide.
