I am watching the Hamas hostage release unfold on my television screen, news bulletins and social media accounts. The enormity of the hostage release has not dawned on some, this is a significant moment in the Palestinian conflict. The Hamas media wing thought they could bring anti-sematic to western countries and whilst some bought this propaganda, most saw a bunch of terrorists losing another battle. If Hamas was serious they would have released the hostages earlier, the longer they fought, the greater the Gaza destruction.

naturally Hamas has turned this into a media spectacle, only four hostages released at a time under ģreat fanfare. Hamas is trying to tell the world they are strong and undefeated, there are masked Hamas fighters swarming around with little to no discipline. Israel also took on Hezbollah to the north and neutralised that threat and sent a pretty clear message to Iran when they started firing missiles towards Israel.

Gaza is in ruins, Gaza is now rubble so there is little for Palestinians to be joyful about, if they think they can sell this as a win then they may be believing their own propaganda. The people are returning to find their homes destroyed, if they think Hamas is the answer then they are sadly mistaken. Iranian funds were used to build tunnels to fight Israel, not build a better Gaza, Palestinians allowed this mob to lead them and they are now seeing the results of their poor decisions.
