I guess this depends on who you think is ultimately behind the attack. If you believe that Hamas and radical Muslims are exclusively behind the attacks, then it is likely they wanted in overreaction by Israel which had result in all of the Muslim countries in the Middle East attacking israel.

If you believe that the zionists are ultimately behind These attacks, then it is rational to believe that the intent is to give an excuse for Israel to eradicate Gaza, and possibly have an excuse to declare war on Iran.

If the zionists are behind the attacks, I question if they anticipated the amount of support the Palestinians would receive throughout the world.

What do you think? Is everything going according to their plan?
