The amount of damage Hamas can do is negligible. At worst they can force Jews out of Eretz Yisrael. Not quite the end of the world. We’ve survived that.
The worst the medinah can do is cause Jews to abandon Torah and Mitsvos. That would be fatal.
Hamas is like a sprained ankle or a pulled muscle or a mosquito bite. Zionism is like cancer or AIDs – which often aren’t painful at first, but are likely to be be fatal in the long run (unlikes the Hamas type illnesses which are a mere annoyance but not life threatening).
