It's not like they ever had a chance of winning considering their definition of winning is driving the Jews into the sea. Their whole purpose is to fuck shit up and cause maximum damage and this makes sense in that context.

that's their endgame? how does that work when they're surrounded on all sides (counting the sea)?

If you want an actual answer they want the Islamic world to unite and kill everyone else, it's been a pretty constant theme for a while now from middle Eastern terror groups.

That's why the fundamentalists in change (and not living in Gaza) wanted to commit an attack Israel could not ignore, nation's like Saudi Arabia and Jordan we're getting on too well with Israel and that would ruin their chances for a middle Eastern caliphate...

ah, a pipe dream then. gotcha. yeah, caliphates arent going to make a comeback.

Yes, they're funding terrorism based on an absurd pipedream that they use to maintain their own power, sadly a very common story.

Not while America is willing to invade and bomb anyone that tries, and everyone around them when they do.
