Quote from: whitey on Today at 06:30:38 PMI'm sure people are going to go ballistic (no pun intended) when I ask this question, but what exactly did Hamas hope to accomplish by the attacks on October 7th?They wanted to stop Saudi normalising relations with Israel, they wanted to put Palestine back on the agenda and they wanted to swap hostages for prisoners. Israel will never be seen in the same light again.
Was it a revenge attack for decades of oppression on the Palestinians?
Was it an attempt to start a war?
Was it an attempt to derail the normalization of relations between Israel and other Muslim Countries?
Netanyahu was like Tyson Fury on Saturday night and would likely have been removed from office. Why did they give him this lifeline ?
On a scale of 1-10 how did they think Israel would respond ? (1 being do nothing, 10 being dropping a nuke)

How many different managers is that now under Todd Boehly? Pochettino never looked like a good fit for a club that are seeking instant success.

There are thousands of Palestinians detained by the IDF. I believe the intention was to take hostages so as to negotiate prisoner swaps.
Personally feel like this was a setup and Israel wanted an atrocity to react to so they could flatten Gaza and claim it for themselves.

He's been miles off the standard for a year.
I see Sancho who has been in decent form with Dortmund hasn't made the squad either. Jordan Henderson a regular selection for Southgate also didn't make the cut.
