Because Hamas wants to show the people of Gaza their willingness to fight Israel, hence asserting their relevance after being throttled by Egypt's new leadership and Syria no longer being able to provide financing.

There is a time for realism. The FARC/left wing rebels have been fighting in Colombia for decades and have recently realized the game is up. FARC agreed to sue for peace when it discern that it had become irrelevant and the Colombian people had moved past its methods and followers..
It is time for Hamas to be bold...recognize Israel right to exist and embarrass
the Israelis.
It is time to try something new.

Sounds interesting if they can get it past the hard heads on both sides, there's nothing in the status quo for the folks caught between them.

Forgive me but . I get what you're saying about tactics but Colombia's troubles have always been about politics ala the Marxists vs. the Oligarchs with the 'helpful bloody hand' of Uncle Sam.

Israel is actually quite happy with the status quo. In fact, Tel Aviv is pretty much oblivious to what's going on in Gaza (or the West Bank). They have absolute military superiority and continue to build settlements. After Kerry's inability to get the sides together, one could easily enough say that we were the only ones who actually wanted a change to the status quo.

I don't like either one of them.
They both give me a case of the ass.

Hamas leadership has nothing else going for it that will keep them in power. It's not like Hamas is doing anything to improve the quality of life for the people who have put them in power. If living in Gaza is as bad we're told it is...it's not because of Israel. It's because of worthless Palestinian leadership. So they fire a few rockets and lob a few mortar rounds into a few Israeli neighborhoods and suddenly Hamas are heroes, everybody loves them, and everybody goes happily back home to their miserable existence with smiles on their faces.

The Marxists have realized that they were beaten and it was time to get the best deal. Chavez and Castro encouraged them in that direction.
Hamas has no hope of physically defeating the Jewish state, unless it acquires a nuclear suit case.
Only thing Hamas is achieving is increase punishment of its people. Israel and its universal connections are too powerful. Time to sue for peace.

Not then either. You keep confusing hurting an enemy with defeating them. Not the same thing at all.
