Me watching it has nothing to do with my questions above. Please read them properly.
Unless what you propose is that hamas watched that video, got back in time with the knowledge that “this time Israel will do such a thing” and attacked…
I think calling that demonstration peaceful is at least a simplification but let’s forget that.
“Asking less nicely” you say. But I don’t see proofs of that really being the purpose of hamas actions. Asking in a way that would not lead to further deaths of your own people should have been the way.
Yet they were building rockets instead of defenses all this time. If they couldnt eradicate all that they needed/wanted (the whole Israel I guess) why even start something like the October 7 attack?
No israel would still kill all the hostages held by Hamas. Their government doesn’t care about hostages.
Did hamas know that all along?
Hamas knows that the israeli government will try their best to kill all israeli hostages, this is known as the Hannibal directive.
But they hoped the israeli populace would pressure their government harder
That is unlikely as there is no record of that directive being (allegedly) invoked after 2016 towards civillians.
Pressure their government harder to do what exactly?
The video I linked has evidence of multiple instances that israeli generals and soldiers were given the Hannibal directive this time.

Hamas tried a peaceful demonstration in 2018 and then got brutally slaughtered by israel so now they’re asking less nicely.

How do you think the Nazi’s went away?
Did we ask them very nicely to stop Genociding?
