I understand why Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th but I believe the attack was incredibly irrational. They launched an attack on a vastly more powerful enemy hoping that they would garner support from the region in the war that would be sparked by that attack.

That hasn't happened. They've lost most of their territory, most of the citizens they claim to represent have had to flee their homes and a large portion of the territory they govern is in ruins and the only support they've received is token support from Hezbollah in the form of firing potshots across the border and a lot of words from anyone else they imagined would support them.

Half the homes in the Gaza strip have been destroyed and most of the population is huddled on the border of Egypt in Rafah having fled their homes in portions of the strip that are currently battlegrounds or have already been seized by the Israelis.

They fire an RPG at the Israeli forces and the Israelis blow up an apartment complex to clear the area the RPG was fired from. There is nothing to be gained at this point they just keep losing more and more every day this continues.

For better or worse, Hamas's surrender is the only way that Israel will willingly stop the war which I personally doubt would ever happen because if Hamas genuinely cared about the deaths of Palestinian civilians, their surrender would have been offered months ago (Hamas's callous disregard or even contempt for Palestinian lives should have been clearly evident the moment they bombed the escape route in October).

If the people want the war to end then drag the Hamas out into the streets and give them to the IDF.

I don't think it would matter if they did. Nety would just continue the war under the pretext that "not all Hamas has surrendered, we have to keep going in to get them all!"
