You seem stuck in a jingoistic mind-loop unable to deviate from the script.

Why does this seem to make one want to think “well these guys must be the bad guys”? Is this trying to influence one’s opinion? Like propaganda? How strange!
Truth isn't 'propaganda'. It's just truth. And yes, Hamas ARE the bad guys.
Beatings. Rape. Branding of children. Drugs. Starvation. Murder.
Isolation in dark rooms until people hallucinate. etc etc.
Newsflash ... that's BAD.

Would intentionally allowing your citizens to be murder and raped be considered good?

There is ZERO evidence that Israel intentionally allowed this to happen.
There may have been breakdowns in their defenses and bad decisions.
But there is ZERO evidence that Israel intended for this to happen.
In your quest to blame Israel, you are avoiding the actual topic of the thread. Failing to condemn the 'unprecedented abuse' that has been discovered. Beatings. Rape. Branding of children. Drugs. Starvation. Murder. Isolation in dark rooms until people hallucinate. etc etc.

Hamas bad, Israel victims and blameless.
You’re claiming that Egypt did not warn Israel of this upcoming attack?

It's a "fact" that you are using in a manner that is progandistic. The information isn't a problem, it's your inability to deviate, even slightly from it or even entertain discussing it. Just rinse and repeat.

Wrong. It's not my OPINION that there was unprecedented abuse of the hostages.
It's a FACT that there was and there is proof. You have failed to condemn it. How interesting.
Hamas bad, Israel victims and blameless.
When it comes to the treatment of the hostages ... that's true.
HAMAS beat them, raped them, tortured them, starved them, psychologically abused them.
Not Israel.
You’re claiming that Egypt did not warn Israel of this upcoming attack?
I didn't say that. I said that you can say that Israel didn't do a good job of protecting itself, but you can't say that it wanted the attack. Obviously it didn't. And that's a topic for a different thread. You are DEFLECTING.
THE TOPIC - The hostages were subjected to unprecedented abuse. Beatings. Rape. Torture. Starvation. Psychological abuse. Branding.

Simply describing something as “unprecedented” is an opinion. That’s not a fact. It’s an opinion.
A doctor treating freed Hamas hostages in Israel says survivors are suffering from an unprecedented level of "extremely severe psychological abuse" endured during captivity. "I can tell you that on behalf of all the medical and psychological teams treating those who return, the mental states we encountered have no precedent in medical literature. We feel that we have to rewrite the textbooks of post-trauma," Dr. Renana Eitan told "Sunday Night in America."
"Those held captive were subject to starvation, to beating, to sexual abuse. They were being held in inhumane sanitary conditions. Extremely severe psychological abuse was inflicted on them, including separation from family members, separation of siblings, separation of children from their mothers. They were held in solitary confinement and spent long days in total darkness until they developed severe hallucinations," Eitan claimed. "Children were forced to watch brutal videos. They were under constant threats by weapons and threats to harm them even after they were released. They refer to the forced use of psychiatric drugs and other substances."
Eitan also detailed cases where individuals, though appearing physically unharmed, are dealing with "severe post-traumatic symptoms." "Some of the home comers, they look happy, they look fine, they look physically fine, and we try to hold on to those optimistic signs, but still, even those who seem fine, we know that most of them [are] suffering from severe post-traumatic symptoms, they have painful, traumatic memories. And they are entering into dissociative states, where for a moment they feel as if they are still in captivity and only later do they return to the understanding that they have been released," she said.
There’s zero evidence Israel attempted to defend its people and avoid this catastrophic event.

Lol. I'm not sure I'd go that far. Maybe in church, down the VA whatever community they belong to. There's not all that much thought going into it - obviously. They have a position and can't move, that's all I see. All mouth and no trousers?

Oh no, the curfews, and blocked off territory, and lower pay, and oppression.
Hamas molests and corrupts everything they touch.
