Unfortunately our gee whiz leaders like Secretary Rice, and Powell are pressuring Israel to back off and accept another truce. We also want Israel to give up even more land like the Golan Heights. Some of my family live in Israel and I’m considering going there in the future and running for political office just so I can tell the US to mind its own freaking business. Because of our arrogance, we made Israel lose to Hezbollah, and now Hezbollah controls even more land in Lebanon. Thank god, Israel ignored the US, and decided to take out the nuclear facility in Syria for the good of the world. I know that people in Israel are ready for a change of face in US politics because they are getting tired of being told the terms of how to defend themselves.

“Managing Gaza”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Israel’s operation in Gaza is reaching a critical point. While talking heads will debate grand strategy, the options are limited. Behind the headlines is the crucial issue of how Israel’s national security process works (or doesn’t – in light of the weaknesses revealed in the 2006 Lebanon war). The next moves will demonstrate whether or not Israel has successfully incorporated the lessons from the failures of the 2006 Lebanon War. This is crucial to re-establishing Israeli deterrence.

Strategic Limitations

A true peace agreement with Hamas is not realistic. A quick scan of clips from Hamas’ al-Aqsa network or of statements by Hamas leaders from the Middle East Media Research Institute - particularly horrible are these scenes from Hamas produced children’s television - should disabuse all but the most useful idiots of any notions of a moderate Hamas.”
