Another Way to Look at the Israeli/Hamas War 

Hamas’s brutal and barbaric attack on Israel was done to provoke Israel to conduct a land war in Gaza. Hamas leaders believe they have the wherewithal to eventually defeat Israel by making it a long and extremely costly engagement, with tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of casualties. With each new dead Palestinian, the world’s opinion of Israel will gradually turn against the US. And that will eventually turn the world against Israel.

It seems possible. The attack and Israel’s counterattack has already moved the needle in that direction. It has also moved Saudi Arabia to renounce its treaty with Israel.

But what choice does Israel have? Bombing Gaza to smithereens will eventually have the same effect, but without achieving anything. International aid will pour in and Hamas will resume its efforts to destroy Israel.

The only way I can see Israel winning this is by conducting a massive invasion of Gaza, killing or jailing every Hamas terrorist, and then claiming Gaza as its own and gradually eliminating Hamas by making it a true police state for 10 or 20 years.

And if I’m right about that, they should have probably invaded Gaza on day one.

Is there any other way Israel can ensure its safety in the future?
