If we're honest with ourselves--and no one with formal power has the ability to be honest with themselves-- Hamas has achieved its objective of showing the illegitimacy of the state of Israel, while Israel has completely failed in its objective of killing and expelling all Palestinian people.
(Eliminating Hamas is of course not Israel's real goal, although that's what they pretend)

In both the cases if the US War on Terror and Israel's campaign of genocide, the terrorists achieved their goals.
