Actually, Hamas makes sense. They send Jews to hell because they are
heretics, and send Muslims to heaven to be blessed martyrs. So for
Hamas, killing is always win-win.

 
The Muslims don't describe Jew as heretics (which is pretty much a term
used only by Christians to describe other Christians). Jews and
Christian are seen as also people of the book - if not quite of the same
book as Muslims - and don't get persecuted by Muslims on theological
grounds.
 
Hamas doesn't make any kind of sense, any more than Donald Trump does.
Like him, they are performance artists who will do pretty much anything
to get the attention they crave.

But for better or worse if Trump's supporters violently butchered 1300
people in the US (not a difficult event to imagine...) every Democrat
would be demanding an immediate cease fire and asking for unity and
sending thoughts and prayers, not dispatching the strike fighters out to
level the Mar-a-Lago Club and half of Palm Beach along with it.

them.
