12. What did they except to happen after October 7? What did they expect to happen after they refused to lay their arms

down and release all hostages?

From the 1967 war where they tried to eradicate every Jew in Israel, and resulted in the Khartoum Resolution's "three no's"

No peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel.

When negotiations did open with Egypt and Jordan, the Muslim Brotherhood, which was the foundation for Hamas today, was behind the assassination of Sadat.

With the periodic wars against Israel through the years, when you have somebody who has vowed to destroy, and at every opportunity demonstrated that threat, what did they expect would happen?

Our nominee for President, VP Harris, vowed for a ceasefire, which hamas has continued to violate, rebuild Gaza, and getting back to the negotiating table working toward a two-state solution, Representative Talib in all her wisdom, who refused to condemn the October 7 attacks, refused to endorse Harris for President, and encouraged other in the American Muslim community to do likewise, along with "protesters" against Israel, who contributed to our loss in every swing state, by either voting third party, or not voting, they will now have to deal with our sociopath soon to be in the white house, we will see how that works out for them.
