I'm not sure I'd say that Hamas is winning but Israel is definitely losing. A lot of us have known that bibi's government has been a terrorist organization since he took office but they did a "good" job hiding it from the masses.... Until this overreaction made it impossible to ignore
That assumes previous Israeli governments weren't terrorist. Remember Ben gurion was considered a left winger/socialist. This entire neocolonial entity/regime is terrorist and Netanyahu is just one symptom/product of it.
I was not following Israeli politics at the time to know it
Israel has been a genocidal settler-colonial project since its founding.
I'm not saying you have to know all the politics of the region. But I believe it's really important to realize that what we are witnessing isn't the consequence of one or two bad governments but a structural problem of the colonial Israeli state. Its foundation is one of prejudice against the native populations, land and property theft, mass expulsions, violence, repression and population control.
It can never be otherwise, because that would require them to return the stolen homes and land to their rightful owners(meaning that millions of refugees who have been waiting since nakba could return), give equal rights to natives and as a consequence give up on the Jewish state. Then you'd end up with a state with a pretty big majority of native Arabs and Jews mixed with equal rights, so essentially a Palestine. That's why Israel can never be anything but a neocolonial, apartheid, genocidal state.
