Hamas just fired rockets on Ashkelon (okay, it's war, that part I get), calling it a colonial city. And that's what I mean when I complain that Hamas has not articulated any war aim short of "ethnically cleanse the Jews out of Israel." It recently shot down talk of negotiations for a prisoner exchange. It downplays its own casualties, where usually it announces them in order to point out Israel is the stronger side as the occupier. Its intent, evinced in both words and actions, is genocidal.
