The ability to defend is part of the power we are speaking of though. That's like saying Israel doesn't have power because if it didn't have power it wouldn't have power. The point stands that because of this ability of defense and superior security, Hamas doesn't do much damage. The same cannot be said of the other side. We are not arguing about Hamas being evil or not, we are arguing about how much damage can they make given the power of Israel. The threat is not existential bu any means.

Hamas doesn’t do much damage.

Tell that to the 1,300 dead Jews, tortured, gunned down, burned alive, gang-raped, in the worst act of Jew-slaughter since the Holocaust.

If you're reducing this down to sheer numbers, you don't understand this conflict.
