The World Has Basically Told Hamas It Can Do Whatever The Hell It Wants

There's never been a better time to be Hamas. 

Here we have an organization which engineered a mass slaughter of innocent civilians while taking hostages and engaging in sexual barbarism against those in captivity.

But we have the UN Security Council, with the help from an abstention from the Biden Administration, demanding a ceasefire without condemning the massacre much less demanding Hamas release the hostages as a precondition to a ceasefire. 

With the UN Human Rights Council certain to accuse Israel of committing genocide even though it is Hamas which has long hidden amongst civilians Hamas which is stealing aid and selling it on the black market. Hamas can afford to decline to release any hostages let alone agree to a ceasefire. Instead of allowing Israel to eradicate Hamas, the international community (with the Biden Administration looking the other way) has given Hamas safe harbor in Rafah thus prolonging the war instead of its cessation. 

For all intents and purposes, the world has told it Hamas can basically do whatever the hell it wants, and Hamas is celebrating with glee. Why wouldn't they? They've been allowed to get away with mass murder.
