If anything, had Biden actually done that, it would have made an attack less likely. Again, the primary impetus for Hamas' strike was the continuing expansion of diplomatic ties between Israel and the Saudi-led coalition, combined with (ostensibly) the lack of progress towards a Palestinian state.

That's forgetting something else: Hamas knew damn well that an attack of that magnitude would provoke a response. The attack wasn't what was going to scuttle any relationship between Saudi Arabia and Israel; it was always Israel's response and the inevitable pressure among the Arab nations to push back against the horrors Da Joos were unleashing on the hapless Palestinians.

Their plan worked very well.
The world for some reason refuses to admit to itself what Hamas is: It's a death cult. There's no amount of Palestinian kids they won't sacrifice just to get at Israel.

Sometimes we're just not a factor.

Exactly. Now you're getting closer.
