Stephen Turner\u2019s convenient beliefs<\/a> are keeping the tunnels, Qatar offices, and surviving military councils humming right now. With the U.S.-Israeli campaign hammering Iran for a second month, Khamenei martyred, IRGC supply lines shredded, and the broader Axis of Resistance taking heavy hits, these beliefs let Hamas\u2019s political bureau, Qassam Brigades commanders, and external financiers maintain unity, keep the rockets and propaganda flowing, and frame every new Gaza hardship as proof that ultimate victory is still on schedule. They coordinate the coalition of hardliners and \u201cpragmatists,\u201d shield the leadership from blame for the body count, and let every Zoom call from Doha or Beirut end with defiant smiles.
\nHere are the 10 most useful ones likely circulating among Hamas leaders today:
\nThe Zionist-American aggression against Iran has only strengthened the Axis and proven our strategy of unified resistance is working.
\nEvery Iranian missile launch or proxy flare-up is reframed as \u201ccoordinated escalation\u201d that ties down the enemy on multiple fronts.
\nGaza is not isolated or starving; the \u201cresistance economy\u201d and smuggling tunnels are more resilient than ever.
\nHumanitarian crisis footage becomes evidence of the enemy\u2019s cruelty, not our own governance failures.
\nOctober 7 was a historic strategic masterstroke that permanently altered the regional balance; everything since is just the enemy\u2019s desperate counter-attack.
\nKeeps the narrative of long-term victory alive even as Gaza lies in ruins.
\nIran\u2019s temporary setbacks are irrelevant; financial and weapons pipelines will resume stronger once the mullahs regroup.
\nConveniently ignores that IRGC cash and rockets are now scarce while promising the next big resupply is always \u201cweeks away.\u201d
\nThe Israeli public is cracking under rocket fire and reserve duty; one more push and their society will collapse from within.
\nEvery shelter siren in Tel Aviv becomes proof that \u201cthe Zionist entity\u201d is on the brink.
\nInternational sympathy, campus protests, and ICC pressure are turning the tide faster than any military victory could.
\nLets leaders claim political wins while Gaza\u2019s reconstruction remains a distant dream.
\nAny internal dissent or calls for cease-fire are purely foreign-orchestrated (Mossad\/CIA\/Palestinian Authority) and have zero grassroots support.
\nJustifies purges and keeps the rank-and-file convinced the street is still fully behind \u201ctotal liberation.\u201d
\nHezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias are delivering decisive blows that prevent Israel from finishing us off.
\nFrames the broader Axis pain as shared sacrifice rather than cascading failure.
\nReal leadership means rejecting any compromise short of full return of all prisoners and complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
\nGatekeeps the \u201cno surrender\u201d brand and sidelines anyone suggesting a face-saving deal.
\nFinal victory through continued jihad, steadfastness, and strategic patience is inevitable; this is just the latest chapter in the 75-year war that ends with Palestine from the river to the sea.
\nThe ultimate meta-belief. It lets Hamas leaders sleep (in bunkers or five-star hotels) knowing that every additional month of destruction is simply the price of destiny.
\nThese aren\u2019t conspiracy theories\u2014they\u2019re adaptive survival tools for men whose power, legitimacy, and personal safety depend on never admitting the fight might be unwinnable. Even as Iranian backing frays, Gaza remains rubble, and the war grinds on, these beliefs keep the communiqu\u00e9s defiant, the donations trickling in, and the internal knives sheathed. Question too many of them out loud and you risk becoming the next \u201cmartyr\u201d denounced on Al-Aqsa TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
