You know Hamas expected bombing, they provoked it, they use human shields, thus logically they wanted it
Why?
Hamas is an Islamist terrorist organization. They don't think like westerners. They want to wipe out Israel and install an Isis like caliphate. They don't care at all about the earthy lives of their own people. They exploit their deaths for propaganda purposes to influence gullible westerners to support them and oppose Israel.
It is completely impossible to negotiate peace with Hamas just as it was with
Isis.
