Ayman: Hamas’ 'extremely sophisticated' attack shows the limits of Israel’s ‘usual deterrent’



Molly Hunter and Ayman Mohyeldin speak to Ali Velshi about the significance of Hamas’ attack in Gaza. “Deterrence has been the cornerstone of Israel’s security posture in the region,” Ayman says. “What Hamas is trying to do is remind Israel that what you think is your ‘deterrent’ doesn’t apply in this particular territory because Gaza has already been decimated.” On what comes next for the fighting between the two countries, Molly Hunter adds, “This also shatters the illusion that occupation can exist without serious resistance… It feels like this will be a game-changing day, that seriously changes the equation.”

  1. If people think that Israel did not know about these attacks, then they’re just fooling themselves into thinking that this was all a security breach. Israeli intelligence is one of the best in the world, these people attacked with the blessings of Israel. It makes sense, since Benjamin Netanyahu stated it very clearly that if it supports Hamas, which could be financially or through intelligence or through weapons, it is the best way to defeat the Palestinian agenda of self-determination. Now the world sees Palestinians as terrorists in representation of Hamas, which obviously is not true. This is exactly what Israel wanted, to control the narrative, and to win the war of PR.

  2. truth is sour and heavy, the truth is that Israel is a country of manipulation and lies, now they present themselves as victims, but who is a victim and not, what should we leave the over 50 years that Israel has bombed and killed Palestine, have they done a people without a country,more than such a cruel crime you cannot commit,,Israel has closed the door to proper talks, and it is because they want to take over all of Palestine,,and this war is a result of evil actions by them for many years ,and now they are creating a planned war to once and for all make the Palestinian people landless, but Israel will pay the price, more more price Israel will pay

  3. War against the Palestinians, and the overwhelming and biased support of Israeli occupation forces will do nothing but activate a chain reaction of global violence.
    The question is what's in it for us living in the west, and struggling to take care of our families in peace? Why are we becoming so unempathetic and taking sides with the Israelis? If we were truly humane as we claim, then why can't we feel sorry for those innocent children killed under Israeli fire??

  4. David Wasserstein, a professor of Jewish history at Vanderbilt University discovered that Muslims have saved Jews from annihilation in the 7th century. We have also protected them when they fled the inquisition regime in Spain, So do not spread lies about the Muslim. Your stories about what happened in Gaza are fake, but the Massacre of Sabra and Shatila in Beirut is not fake . At Sabra and Shatila Massacre in Beirut , theyy slaughtered more than 3,000 Palestinian and Lebanese civilians over a three-day period (16–18 September 1982) which was organized and supervised by Ariel Sharon the Israeli minister of defense. To the Secretary of State, I say: Do not you remember that your country have killed one million Iraqi civilian and hundreds of thousands of Afghani civilian. Since 1947 up to now, Israel has killed hundreds of thousands of civilian Palestinians. The Israeli settlers have burned an infant, few years ago, the Israeli soldier have killed and arrested many less than 10 years children. In less than 6 days, you have killed 1500 Palestinians, of whom 60 % are children and women

  5. I do not condone Hamas , however to say this was unprovoked is untrue.- Palestine is and has been an occupied territory for 56 years. the longest occupied territory in modern history . It is an apartheid state, It is not unprovoked and we need to stop siding blindly with Israel .. and while Hamas did not recognize Israel’s authority the PLO did and so did the Palestinian nation and it got them nowhere. The Israeli government has refused to meet with any Palestinian officials since 2014 so please don’t just blindly say we need to follow Isreal please try to cover the story in the brightest possible scope so people can see what led to such a group is the Hamas. As long as the Israeli people believe that, God says they’re the most superior race on the planet and have the right to do anything they want the whole world is going to suffer. I can’t believe they believe that an act on that believe after Hitler did that to them.

  6. It is only being reported when Israelis get attacked, but what about the daily attacks on Palestinian civilians for 75 years?!, this is hypocrisy! To understand the issue listen to Noam Chomsky well respected across the globe and Jewish, not Western media which is controlled by the rich and elite who want you to think a certain way and report the things that help their agenda.
