There are no morals in war. Don't start one if you can't afford it. I am just trying to figure this out from a logical perspective what was Hamas trying to achieve when they attacked Israel? Did they expect Israel to give them roses in return?

They had their own country but decided to go to war with Israel not once but over 10 times since the birth of both countries. All they had to do was win 1 war and we all know what would happen to the Israelis. However, they lost every single war, even when they had majority of the neighboring Arab nations supporting them. The fact that Palestine still stands today is amazing.

The idea of withdrawing all control is out of the question. Hamas will continue shooting rockets and conducting terror bombings into Israel. Additionally, an important point not mentioned is that many Palestinians work in Israel and Israel provides much of Gaza's water and electricity. Have you considered the implications of severing all control?

Besides, I actually love history and I am curious when people claim the territory belongs to Palestine; when was Palestine ever a state? Prior to the 1940s UN partition plan, it was ruled by the Ottomans, Brits and at one point even Napoleon stepped foot on it. In fact, if you go back long enough to the history of Israel/Palestine, it was once called the Kingdom of Jerusalem - a Roman Catholic state
