It doesn’t matter really.

Hamas is going to be gone.

Hezbollah may be around but lacks the wherewithall to be of much danger.

With Gaza destroyed and unable to be a threat for a very long time, Bibi has done the job and someone else can take over.

Those, including several here, who lack any intellectual ability to accomplish anything but tounge wag about blame are just ordinary run of the mill worthless people

It doesn’t matter really.
Hamas is going to be gone.

Hamas replaced the PLO when it became insufficiently hostile to Israel's right to exist and borders. That attitude will never really die among Palestinian and other Arabs. All that can be done practically is to push them further away from Israel's borders and general population.

With Gaza destroyed and unable to be a threat for a very long time, Bibi has done the job and someone else can take over.

That job may take longer, and be more costly than you think. Regardless of what they claim, Muslims are not peaceful people.

An opinion is like a belly button. Everyone has one. I am just noting that blame will be apportioned. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and Natanyahu and his government got caught with their pants down, and people died, suffered, and were kidnapped. He can say war was inevitable with Hamas, but that doesn't excuse him not being prepared for when it started. Ultimately, Israelis will decide his political fate and legacy, not FReepers typing away here.
