My view is that the war is as winnable as the Vietnam War was, and that it will ultimately be lost on the streets of Washington and Tel AvivThe writing was on the wall. It was clear from the onset that Israel was entering into an unwinnable war.
Here's a post I made on October 12th, just five days after the terrorist attack on Israel:
"Israel is not going to be able to destroy Hamas militarily. It may drive Hamas underground for awhile, but they will reappear at some point in the future, perhaps under another name, but it will still be the same actors. The current approach is only going to exacerbate long-standing grievances between the Palestinians and Israel, and until those grievances are addressed, terrorist attacks against Israel will continue. With every Palestinian child, brother, sister, father, mother, or grandparent that is killed by Israeli forces, another potential terrorist is born.
Until there's a comprehensive approach that addresses the grievances of not only the Palestinians but also those of the Israelis, the conflict between the two will continue."
