In what world did any of it stop hamas?

You'd know if you read about the two ceasefires I mentioned. Whenever Hamas made a ceasefire, they've generally kept it until it became clear Israel had no intention of lifting the blockade as promised.

Look at the attack. Look at the naked hostages being paraded on the streets and tell me it stoped Hamas in 2012.

Why should the 2012 ceasefire, which fell through because Israel didn't follow it, stop Hamas in 2023. If the blockade had been lifted you'd have had a point, but it wasn't.

“Oh but they’re not allowed to as the ceasfire” to which you’ll get a massive. “Oh no… anyway”

Uh... The threat of another blockade? That's kind of why people follow ceasefires; they want the fire to cease.
