The greatest military force in the Middle East cannot win against an enemy willing to lose a lot.
There was a time when I used to admire the resourcefulness of Israelis, underdogs fighting for their survival against their many enemies. Those were the days when it was truly a fight for their existence.
But invoking this is a convenient Israeli argument and stokes the sense of perpetual persecution the Jews feel, one that prevents them from seeing that they could ever be wrong. It is not for nothing that former US President Jimmy Carter called what the Israelis are doing as apartheid. Carter was the man who brokered the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt and effectively took out of the equation one of Israel’s biggest existential threats then.
For Hamas, their true objective is to ensure a permanent state of killing and dying so that this conflict can continue forever, or at least until it achieves its objectives, which of course include the extinction of Israel as a nation. Or is such a scenario only meant for those who inconveniently made enemies of the powerful hypocritical proponents of this ‘rules-based’ world?
