Only lasting peace is achieved through thorough defeat of one side.

Example: US defeating Germany & Japan so conclusively, a permanent peace emerged. The adversaries of WWII have not fought ever since!

OTOH every negotiated cease-fire has proved to be temporary.
If Israel wants peace it has only one option...complete and total defeat & destruction of the enemy.

History is your best teacher. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

“Only lasting peace is achieved through thorough defeat of one side.”

You speak the truth! Name one conflict since WWII that has achieved anything but a continuing stalemate and protracted killing. We have chosen “not to win” every time we have gone to war since. We left Korea worse than when we started there, SEA, don’t see anything good there. Bosnia, nope, Iraq, a waste of treasure and the lives of our young men, Afghanistan, ditto. It’s a disgraceful record!
