    Israel has been victorious in radicalizing at least two generations of Palestinians, eroding global support for Israel, and igniting a regrettable wave of anti-Semitic sentiment.

    Good job Bibi!

      News: “If Hamas is nearly defeated, and you know how to end the war, does that mean you’ll stop killing innocent Palestinians?”

      Bibi: “actually quite the opposite; that just means we can build more settlements on the land we bombed into oblivion while displacing more and repeating a vicious cycle!”

      News: “ah, good strategy! Happy to hear of your good work.”

      I can’t.

        Not just CNN, several US based Jewish heritage organizations, both militant politically and simply community based, have come out saying that zionism and judaism are intrinsically implied on each other, thus making anti zionism, anti semitism.

        Which is bullshit of course, but in their eagerness to be able to pull the anti semitism card, they’re tying every Jew in their communities to the horrendous shame of what’s happening in Palestine.

      Not just the Palestinians. For historical parallel, Saladin was Kurdish. Now we don’t know where the next person to liberate Palestine will come from, but he may not be Palestinian or born yet. Israel is in a long war with the entire region, and will only end the same way it ended for the Franks.

    Reminds me of that Iraqi official who, during Desert Storm, kept saying victory was imminent right up the moment the allied tanks came rolling up the street.

    From what I have read, this war keeps dragging on because Israel can’t agree on what to do after the fighting stops. Hamas obviously hasn’t been destroyed and Israel either can’t or won’t do what is needed to destroy them, yet they don’t want to agree to a cease fire either.
