First of all, it helps to understand the motivations of Hamas by referencing history. I bring to your attention the Serbian assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian throne, the act which precipitated WWI. During this time period, mind you, the Balkans were considered to be much like the Middle East is now -- a hotbed of radicalism and never-ending conflict among the recently created states of the region, with all its unsettled border disputes and ethno-religious rivalries.
The reason behind the assassination was not that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was oppressing the Serbs. Just the opposite, in fact: the Austro-Hungarian Empire's policy of ethnic integration threatened the Serbian Nationalist movement by attempting to subsume the Serbs within the Empire into a people that were merely provincial, yet content with the benefits of it, thus depriving the Serbian state of core territories and many of its own compatriots.
So the assassination was meant to "paint the battle lines," as it were, forcing the Empire to go to war with Serbia in retaliation for the killing, and forcing the Serbian people to rally behind the Nationalist cause in turn, making a "circling of the wagons" into the only viable political move for Serbs.
The situation between Palestine and Israel is similar to this. It's not that Israel was being overly-friendly with the Palestinians, of course. But that regional Arab states were being overly-friendly with Israel. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf sheikhdoms were becoming increasingly diplomatically cordial with Israel over the years, at the behest of their American intermediaries who promised the Arab states greater access to Judeo-American financial capital, which left the Palestinians feeling like a people made provincial: no longer part of a unified Islamic umma, or Arab nation, but a people left behind to suffer in poverty and ultimately die as a cohesive identity.
Just like the assassination of the Archduke, Hamas's attack was meant to "paint the battle lines" of the national struggle. It was intended to reinvigorate the consciousness of the Muslim/Arab world through the onus of retaliatory Israeli brutality.
Psychologically speaking, it is much to the joy of us who in our own personal lives feel abandoned by the world, abandoned by our race, abandoned by our religion (elders), abandoned by any unifying customs or culture to see the Palestinian Resistance rise up and literally launch a collective ER against their decadent oppressors, against the rich Jewish degenerates who were partying just a few kilometers away while the Palestinians rot in an open-air concentration camp (literally 40-50% of Gazans are unemployed NEETs, JFL).
It was a strike against the richest and most powerful group of people on earth -- the Jews -- by perhaps the most dispossessed and downtrodden -- the Palestinians.
Indeed, the operation launched by Hamas appeals to the psychology of a dispossessed adolescent, or someone who could never effectively mature past that age due to a complete lack of opportunity. It is notable in this regard that the population of Gaza is literally majority adolescent and younger. And virtually NONE of them have any future.
And it is very much relevant, to turn back to history, that the Serbian agents who committed the assassination of the Archduke were predominantly young men. Gavrilo Princip was 19 years old and gaunt. I remember reading a description of his life, it was like reading about a school shooter.
The only difference between his act and that of a school shooter is that it was "sublimated," or possessed within it a natural constituency of support by virtue of appealing to forces greater than himself. Princip had the benefit of being born in a solid social context, a Serbian nation where even if you were a loser, you could sacrifice yourself and become exalted as a hero.
We don't really have that in the modern West. Hence the analogues act in our countries now is a nihilistic school shooting with no real meaning behind it. And hence the fascination that many in the West (not just us) have towards Palestine -- a vicarious identification with the Palestinians that is borne from the fact that we have nothing to identity with ourselves anymore.
This is the funny thing about far-right White nationalists who say that they cannot support Palestinians because "Muslims hate Europe/The West." Europe/The West hates us too, lmao. Think about it.
Ultimately it's a more of a LARP to identify with Europe or "the West" than it is to identify with Palestine. Our occidental culture is so corroded that it is more vicarious and LARPy to be a White nationalist than to be a shitlib who adopts foreign national struggles as your own while being entirely cosmopolitan at home. Because the latter actually reflects reality. Our homes are cosmopolitan, just another identikit store at the mall while we romanticize and long for the chaos of the bazaar.
