What Hamas Means

I have been a witness ( nearly the centre-point victim) in an encounter with armed robbers where one of the goons warned one of us passengers with a gun shot in the face. "I warn you this boy !," he interjected. And simultaneously ejected some slugs into the "boy's" skull. The "boy" was a full-grown man. He spent the next night and half in a hospital where the bullets, which went in through his mouth, taking two of his teeth, lodged in the bone beneath the ridge of his nose, were extracted. Miraculously unusual, the man returned on his feet. He also uttered the words (that's with great effort, made the speech) of his survival celebration by himself.

I have not seen; but I have always heard... Hamas...

I was trying to get the point in Israel's concentrated aerial and terrestrial forces' assault on (against) the Hamas-ed people of Palestine. Was it in reaction to an action or to a perceived intent? How could such a ferocious reaction be to an action or actions that has not been taken?

Then several reports came, having it that Hamas-men launched war missiles into Israel to warn the israelis...in protest against the closure of a capricious thoroughfare.
At this, I sifted (discriminated) my way to a locus. Israel did what she ought to do: defend herself against unwaranted aggression.

If someone warned you by shooting you on the head, as the bandit did to my co-passenger, you'd not need an analyst, strategist or diviner to understand that when the Warner enacts the actual assault, It will exterminate you and yours. Unless you and yours have a willingness to be capital martyrs by default, you'll have to act or react accordingly.

The amount of rocket already expended by Hamas shows that It was into something far more than protest or warning.
Had Israel not (re)acted...

Besides, as always, Hamas did not take into consideration the vulnerable folks in its domain before embarking on aggressive actions.
There is injustice. Yet these defence-less and offence-less souls could have been considered better by Israel et al than they have been by Hamas. Apparently, the world will be worse of in Hamas' hands...

Now, Hamas, according to some UN's projected reports, was at least partially, donation-dependent. How got It the surplus resource for the accumulation of such huge arsenal? Must it spend its wealth in warring?
Hamas was doing one thing: justifying the presumptive suspicion of many that Its religion; Its economics; its politics; its philosophy, its everything is not of peace, therefore not for peaceable people. That he is not yet born who can enact peace in Canaan!

I do not like bloodshedding. But I like even much less, thoughtlesly relentless provocators of bloodshedding.
Hamas is a Harm-Mass (harmers). Who likes harm? Who likes a harming mass of suicidal genocides?
