@blablarg18 As a child, I used to follow professional wrestling. I even got a book about it for a Christmas gift.
The book did a great job of showing how the audience reacts to what the wrestlers are doing in the ring.
The best example of this was a match between Andre The Giant and Ox Baker. Andre dominated the match entirely, and the fans initially were cheering Andre, but they grew tired of this one-sided match, and began cheering Ox Baker so that they would have a more balanced match.
It is possible that what Hamas did, was to intentionally provoke Israel into destroying Gaza. By doing that, Gaza becomes a "martyr", and then justifies all the other Arab nations into a unified attack upon Israel.
Israel needs to be careful that they do not go too far by crushing Gaza. They may have already gone too far in the eyes of many people.
