Hamas must really hate its own people.

After today, Israel is going to erase Gaza and break it off into the sea.

Eh, the foreign money was for a very specific purpose.  The people who will feel the retaliation aren't part of the decision making process.  And those who took the money will be long gone

I know, but they have to retaliate and they have the firepower (thanks to us) to visit back damage 10-fold.

Sure, but that's the point.  Take these missiles, money and visas, and be far away when the retaliation and diverted aid come in

That's why I said they hate their own people.  They'll be the ones dying.

I don't understand how most people think.  I'm not even sure how I think.

I bet we all agree the "leaders" don't suffer, generally speaking, while the people do.

You need to understand how those people think.
So it is pretty obvious that Hamas is funded by Iran. Nobody disputes that.  So is Hezbolah 

We ( USA) just gave a pile of money to Iran. Sadly- we seem to be funding both sides of it. 

in the meantime-civilian hostages have been taken and disbursed throughout Gaza ( a place already full of secret caves and tunnels).  So that complicates things For Israel.

I read somewhere the ^ 6 billion we freed up for Iran is still in some Qatari bank, as yet untouched.  I doubt this is related to the Hamas thing.

No. Not directly.   Nobody thinks that.  This attack was well planned for some time.  

That’s not the point.  

before we agreed to give them the 6 billion for the five hostages, we declared that it can’t be used to find terrorism.   But once the transfer took place, the ayatollah came right out in public and said “I use the money, however, I want to”

Sure, money is fungible anyway, Iran would replace $6 billion they now spend on "hospitals" and move that to military spending, it's easy.  But IF the money hasn't yet been touched, it's not a factor in the Hamas thing.  I don't think the two things are related, except as a political football.
