What should Palestinians do in your opinion? Their secular leaders are arrested, the peaceful demonstrators shot at. The only movement that Netanyahu allowed in Gaza was the Hamas. What's left for Palestinians to do other than break out and attack the IDF bases around them.

Honestly, I have no idea. They’re cornered in Gaza, without resources and any way to reach a viable future. And they’re losing territories by the day in the West Bank.

War may result, most probably, in a Israeli win. Terrorism is always denounced by the international community. And trying a peaceful solution will only serve for settlers to keep occupying their territories, and obliterating their population.

They’re in a dire situation, and without a powerful ally they’re going to get exterminated by right wing Israeli forces…

This attack looks like a desperate attempt at gaining some attention and a possible point of negotiation. But they’re in a very vulnerable position.

It’s incredibly sad.
