Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas mastermind who had the bad luck of crossing paths with a team of 19-year-old Israeli grunts in Rafah on Wednesday morning, was an intractable religious ideologue who saw his life’s purpose in extravagant historical terms. He was someone whose actions corresponded perfectly to his beliefs, and who treated reality as a thin and temporary illusion concealing the God-given triumph to come. Sinwar was, in short, exactly the type of leader that citizens in democratic societies can’t easily comprehend. 

Speculating about Sinwar’s motives became an analytical cottage industry after October 7. Observers of the resulting conflagration have been told that Sinwar ordered his invasion and kidnapping spree because he wanted to derail Israeli-Saudi normalisation; put “the Palestinian question” back on the table; bait Benjamin Netanyahu into a regional war; bleed his enemy through an insurgency; fracture Israeli society; or undermine Fatah’s rival claims to leadership of the Palestinian struggle. There’s a category error behind every one of these claims. If Sinwar had been a normal warlord in pursuit of mundane objectives, he could have pursued a less spectacular course that would have greatly improved his chances of remaining the uncontested theocratic dictator of a Mediterranean coastal enclave with two million subjects. More than that, he could have retained a local military-industrial complex, extensive foreign relations, and subsidies from friendly regional governments and the UN. But Sinwar operated beyond the limiting realm of normative politics. He is arguably the first Palestinian leader who ever thought to test the proposition that his people could decisively settle their conflict with the Jews of the Middle East solely through violent means. 

A significant body of facts suggests that Sinwar believed he would succeed in destroying the state of Israel on or about October 7, 2023. A few years before the attacks, he co-sponsored a conference at a Gaza City hotel entitled “Promise of the Hereafter: Post-Liberation Palestine” — and in which participants discussed topics such as the enslavement of educated Jews and the mass execution of alleged Arab collaborators in the aftermath of Israel’s imminent violent destruction. “We are sponsoring this conference because it is in line with our assessment that victory is nigh,” read Sinwar’s contribution to the event, which was delivered by a senior colleague in the Hamas political bureau. Sinwar added that “the full liberation of Palestine from the sea to the river” was “the heart of Hamas’s strategic vision”. 

He meant this all literally. Documents recovered by the IDF in Gaza showed that Hamas planners anticipated the October 7 attack would reach much further into Israel than it actually did. In recent weeks, IDF units in Lebanon have discovered extensive evidence that Hezbollah’s Radwan forces had pre-positioned weapons and attack teams for an invasion of the Galilee in the months before the October massacre. Sinwar, for his part, had a plausible theory of victory, especially in light of the disarray of Israel’s initial response. If Gaza’s Hamas fighters could make it 30 miles across the desert to their comrades in the West Bank, they could bisect Israel while their Hezbollah allies struck from the north. All the while, he envisaged Arab-Israelis rioting, in a repeat of the country’s 2021 unrest, while Iran lobbed ballistic missiles, and the governments of Egypt, Jordan, and maybe even Turkey joined in too and the cherished dream of the Muslim conquest of Palestine became dazzlingly real. 

Sinwar was a committed ideologue, a man of unwavering and sinister integrity. We are not used to world events being driven by figures whose motives are as pure and uncomplicated as his. Sinwar was reportedly furious at the 2011 deal that freed him after more than 20 years in an Israeli prison: he thought Hamas should have accepted nothing less than the release of all of its prisoners in exchange for the kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. While in prison for the alleged strangling of Palestinian informants, Sinwar promised one of his Israeli interrogators that the tables would eventually turn that one day he would be Sinwar’s prisoner, and that the now-jailed Hamas leader would be grilling him instead. 

To put it differently, Sinwar had the quasi-Napoleonic notion of a total social inversion, one he would personally bring into being. Yassir Arafat, who came to deploy a clever interplay of violence and diplomacy, and who turned the Palestine Liberation Organization into a patronage system that was entirely dependent on his leadership, was a corrupt gradualist compared to Sinwar, who represented the total rejection of all pragmatism. Human beings were abstractions to him, the raw material for the new world he would single-handedly forge.

“Human beings were abstractions to him, the raw material for the new world he would single-handedly forge.”

The execution, though, was off. Sinwar turned out to have a poor understanding of both his friends and his enemies. We might never understand why Hezbollah didn’t launch its own ground offensive against Israel on October 7, despite being fully prepared and deployed. Hamas and Hezbollah’s Iranian sponsors clearly knew Sinwar’s war plans, but didn’t fully commit themselves to the fight when the moment came. Israel, meanwhile, proved it could sustain an unprecedentedly long and difficult urban war without losing all international support. Surely Sinwar wasn’t counting on the Israeli-developed Trophy system neutralising Hamas’s anti-tank weaponry, nor on his enemy’s remarkable willingness to send its soldiers and combat engineers into Hamas tunnels. Hamas, meanwhile, fought the IDF with a distinct lack of skill and courage. Its fighters fled from frontal confrontations with the IDF, and failed to protect its infrastructure or halt the Israeli advance through the Strip. All the while, it lost any ability to fire rockets at Israel, and suffered an estimated 19,000 combat deaths since October 7. That’s six times more than all the Palestinian fighters lost in the Second Intifada, and the previous four Gaza Wars combined. A year ago, Hamas had 40,000 combatants, and ran the longest-tenured Sunni Islamist governing project in modern history. Now, though, they’re a glorified protection racket, far more capable of terrorising displaced Gazans than they are of threatening Israelis.

Sinwar’s continued rejection of US-brokered ceasefire agreements, any one of which would have saved his life, only makes sense if he believed his recalcitrance could eventually force Hezbollah and Iran’s other proxies to escalate the war on his behalf. He believed a longer and bloodier conflict favoured him. This was wildly incorrect. A long war actually favoured Israel, which learned how to fight him. Meanwhile, Hezbollah’s limited participation in the conflict dragged on long enough for Jerusalem to lose patience and wipe out the group’s entire high command, along with a reported two-thirds of its missile arsenal.

Sinwar’s loss will still be deeply felt. He killed more Israelis on Israeli territory than anyone else in history, and on October 7 he gave his people an exhilarating taste of what a divinely ordained final victory would look and feel like. Pragmatism may seem lame or even dishonourable in light of that righteous blood orgy, a proof of concept for some future, final cleansing of the land. And he’ll have a potential afterlife as a leading 21st-century theoretician of violent revolution, having pioneered the idea of war as mass protest and an expression of popular rage. The “Tufan Al-Aqsa System” the Hamasnik phrase for the October 7 attacks is people power focused towards militant ends, an unstoppable, raging human flood. Sinwar understood that he had the backing of a global and increasingly important institutional Left, an elite constituency in Western countries that rapidly embraced his cause after October 7. “The same type of racism that killed George Floyd is being used by [Israel] against the Palestinians,” Sinwar told Vice News in 2021, anticipating the thesis of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s 2024 book The Message

But it wasn’t just Leftists who provided cover for Sinwar’s agenda. The surviving senior Hamas leadership is now based in Qatar, a US ally which is home to the largest American military base in the Middle East. Hamas leaders have been feted in Turkey, Russia, and South Africa over the past year. Hamas’s moral legitimacy and international standing arguably grew after October 7. Sinwar showed that raping and butchering Israelis did not automatically make you an enemy of civilisation not even for the United States, which long opposed any Israeli operation in Rafah, where Sinwar was killed, and spent nearly a year pushing for a ceasefire that would have preserved Hamas’s rule in the Strip. Sinwar’s career may have shown that it is self-destructive in the near term for a Palestinian leader to provoke a full-on war with Israel. But he will have inspired a future generation of extremists to dream big.

Any rational person would agree with you Paddy. I use the word rational in the context of a post-Enlightenment view of our humanity and personhood. Sinwar represented the ideal of a bloody warlord similar to his more successful ancestor Mohammed who invented a belief in an entity called Allah, congruent with his ravaging era. This view places humans secondary to the whims of this Allah as written by Mohammed. Sinwar’s attempt to complete the Islamic mission was met as it should have been by death. His distaste for decency and humanity left Israel with not just a need to execute him but a duty to do so.

My only regret is that they released the footage of his final moments. I think that was a dreadful miscalculation. He went from being a rat hiding in a tunnel while his people were killed to a martyr fighting back with his dying breath. Generations of jihadis will watch that video.

There is an old saying: “You only live twice, once when you are born, and once when you look death in the face”. The video footage suggests Sinwar got to look death in the face, so maybe the Israelis did get to kill him twice.

The civilised world is a much better place without Sinwar: a blood-thirsty tyrant who cared little for his own people, who were all cannon fodder for Allah in his warped imagination. The institutional Left in the West really ought to be ashamed for their craven gutlessness, not least because, if Sinwar had succeeded in his ultimate vision of bringing the West down, these leftists would have been among the first to face the firing squad. There is no question that the likes of Sinwar despised their ‘liberal’ views; he was merely goading them as useful idiots for his own blood-soaked cause(s). Good riddance to him!

The expression ‘inshallah’ which one hears a lot in islamic countries carries with it a lot of magical thinking. It moves supposed possibilities firmly into areas which we in the West would describe as ‘impossible’ or ‘extremely unlikely’. If for no other reason we should energetically support Israel for its sheer rationality. In the long term none of us in the West can afford to indulge the useful idiots and fifth columns in our midst who have been supporting Hamas recently. Eventually our political class will have to recognise this and acknowledge that they don’t look ‘tolerant’ but just pathetically weak.

Up to a point, Lord Copper. True, Hamas and Hezbollah are wholly destructive forces, and not part of any peaceful solution. There will be a lot of sighs of relief in Arab capital cities at Sinwar’s demise, as well as in the West. Good riddance. Give the IDF soldiers concerned a medal.

This does not mean we should give Netanyahu, or any Israeli leader, a blank cheque. The treatment of the Palestinians by the West Bank settlers is not something any decent human being can support.

Isn’t it possible that had the Gazans given up on trying to remove the Jews from Israel and used the money to build a functioning little economy, perhaps a Mediterranean holiday paradise, they might have been better off?

I know I’m being simplistic and that there’s much that I don’t know and, maybe, the Israelis would have prevented this (there are nutters among them too) and, yet, don’t you think it might have been worth a try?

Their repeated attacks, small on large, on Israel have failed. They have failed their own people. Sometimes, like the Germans and Japanese after WW2, you have to accept your defeat.

A Mediterranean paradise? You would be quite right, if Gaza was a functioning democracy where the rule of law prevailed. Sinwar saw these things as Western decadence. Which is why all that aid money to Gaza went into building up Hamas as a military force, while the Gazans rotted in poverty. As Goering so aptly put it, (in a similar context) “Guns before butter.”

The term “West Bank” is a modern designation that lacks historical precedent or validity. This region is historically known as Judea, a name deeply rooted in Jewish history and heritage. The name “West Bank” was coined by Jordan following its armed and hostile invasion of the area in 1948 until the end of its occupation in 1967. However, this land has been intrinsically linked to the Jewish people for millennia.

Judea is the land from which the Jews (i.e. Judeans) originate, a region where the Judean mountains form the backbone of the landscape. It is the territory historically allotted to the Tribe of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The Judeans, or Jews, have lived in this area for many centuries, establishing a rich historical legacy. The cultural significance of Judea to the Jewish people cannot be overstated, making the term “West Bank” a misnomer that overlooks the profound connection between the land and its ancient inhabitants.

No one’s driving anyone out. There are two million Muslims, Druze, Christians, Bedouins, etc., living in Israel proper today. I contrast that with the Christian population in all the Muslim countries, which has dropped to minute levels when compared to 70 years ago; they have mostly fled due to persecution and hate.

Israel didn’t “steal” the West Bank – it conquered it after Jordan in advisedly entered the 1967 War. So the Arabs perhaps “stole” the Middle East in the seventh century? Before 1967 that the entire area now being talked about as a Palestinian state was under Jordanian rule, or in the case of Gaza Egyptian, and citizenship was given to all the Palestinians. There was at that time no significant distinction between the identity the Palestinian and Jordanian identities. In my view it was absolute tragedy that this situation could not be maintained and improved upon. But, as usual it was the Arab side that initiated the conflict.

I consider the whole idea of a two-state solution a dead letter now. Many Palestinians are, rightly or wrongly, very hostile to Israel, and indeed Hamas want to obliterate the Jews from the whole area. The idea that any state would agree to have a hostile force which radically reduced its defence in depth and making an extremely vulnerable – what is the airy theory but as a bitterly experience reality with suicide bombers and rocket attacks – is totally fanciful.

I’m very sympathetic to Israel, which is after all the only Jewish state in the world and indeed the only democratic state in the Middle East. But simply to refer to a right to land based on events over 2000 years ago without any recognition of another people’s much more claim to the same land is pushing things a bit.

Perhaps a much better argument might be to recognise that there is no refugee crisis between India and Pakistan today despite the appalling sufferings of refugees at almost exactly the same time as the Arab Israeli war. Similarly, an almost equal number of Palestinians and Jews were expelled, or at least not allowed back to their homes. To focus solely on the Palestinian suffering without mentioning the Jewish is the usual extreme bias we come to expect from progressive opinion. That doesn’t mean to say the Palestinians have not suffered. Perhaps moderate Arab States could help the Palestinians in practical ways much more than they have done without Israel losing its fundamental security.

This is a completely illogical statement. You’re in effect saying that anyone who criticises the Israelis’ conduct in Gaza must support Hamas and its objectives. I am resolutely opposed to Hamas and any other terrorist organisation who attacks Israel, but I won’t stand by and cheerlead the kind of barbarism being inflicted on Gazan civilians by the Israeli government, which is both grossly immoral and likely to create another generation of terrorists that Israel will have to deal with in 10-20 years.

Agreed. Sinwar was a bloodthirsty, anti-Semitic terrorist who would have done much worse than October 7 if he could have, but Netanyahu and his colleagues are also mass-murdering villains who see Palestinians as little more than animals who they can slaughter with impunity in the name of ‘self-defense’. Anyone who condemns the one while excusing the other (and this includes those on the other ‘side’ who are less visible in these pages) is practicing either willful blindness or operating from a similarly subhuman mindset.

Watched a lot of interviews with Gazans. I was very disturbed how few blame Hamas but how many still just want to kill all the Jews. Like civilians in Germany and Japan during WW2 they contribute to the war effort. The Gazans are not innocent but they are legitimate military targets. Israel has really held back. Only 40+K people dead? Let’s talk genocide when its 1 million.

What Sinwar and Hamas did will most likely destroy the Palestinian’s chance of improving their situation for a generation, at least. They will live like beasts in the ruins of their homes.
They are now essentially without friends. None of the other Muslim states are going to have anything to do with them, other then by voting for those useless UN resolutions. The Israelis have destroyed too many valuable things; murdered too many of their chosen targets at will (in too many “safe havens”) . And no one can reasonably blame them. The supposed “problem” of the Jews is not worth the risk anymore.
Any of the surrounding nations with functional governments of any sort, will gradually begin to accept Israel’s existence; diplomatically at least; and then with trade and exchange.
And as for the Western Left…they probably won’t ever grow up, but notwithstanding their fervor, they will quickly forget the whole issue and go on to something else.

Sinwar saw himself as the Lenin of his people.
He performed one useful thing, if we have the wit to discern it and act upon what we discern: He demonstrated the close affinity of the Extreme Right and the Extreme Left, joined in their hatred of Jews and their love of the most extreme violence to settle accounts with all other parts of society.
Our idiotic masters have denied this for 70 years or more, and continue to be unable or unwilling to see the face of irreconcilable evil, as they concede more and more ground to it. And, in the end, it will do them no good. They are as the appeasers Churchill warned would briefly delay, but not escape, being eaten by the crocodile they appeased.
