What Was Hamas Thinking?

Emergency Episode: On Saturday October 7th 2023, Hamas
terrorists broke through the border of the Gaza Strip and carried
out a brutal assault on Southern Israel. As of publication, the
death toll stands at some 1,200 Israelis, 900 citizens in Gaza, and
some 1,500 Hamas fighters have been found dead inside Israel. It is
the most deadly attack on Jewish civilians since the holocaust. As
the world reels from these horrific events, we recorded an
emergency episode to explain how this happened, the motivations of
Hamas and what the likely repercussions will be from Israel, and
for the region as a whole. It ties together many of the larger
forces we’ve described across this season and previous ones. Be

conflict to discover more about how we got here. Join our FB
