\"\"<\/a>Benjamin Netanyahu, is made of different material than Barak.\u00a0 Unlike Barak, who is obsessed with the banal implementation of military power, Netanyahu is concerned with \u00a0the power of deterrence and he is also intelligent enough to realise that the consequences of a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip may mean the total eradication of such a power. A large scale deployment of infantry is a complicated thing. It would lead to violent clashing with hostile civilians in a heavily populated urban territory, endless cases of inevitable war crimes and crimes against humanity, international condemnation, unavoidable conflict with Israeli allies and so on.\u00a0 Also, such an escalation will prove, once again how resilient the Palestinian society is, as opposed to the vulnerable Israeli people.\u00a0 Let me tell you, this is not what Netanyahu had in mind two weeks ago when he decided to slaughter just a few Palestinians in order to win the next Israeli election.<\/h5>\n
Netanyahu prefers to kill Palestinians from afar, to missile them from Israeli Navy battle ships, drones and F16s. Israel had initially a limited operative plan ahead of Operation Pillar of Cloud.\u00a0 But, it didn\u2019t take more than a few hours for Israeli generals to realise that they were ambushed by the Hamas. Like Lebanon 2006, Israel was far from being ready for this conflict. It failed to realised that the Hamas has been preparing itself for this battle. Earlier on today, I saw on BBC News, a \u00a0Palestinian flag waving on top of a wreckage of house in Gaza that was flattened by Israel during the night. The message was clear: Hamas is ready to make Gaza into Stalingrad. \u00a0The Israeli generals realise it, some of them are clever enough to grasp the fate of their soldiers if they decide to move in. They are not prepared to be Netanyahu\u2019s \u20186th Army\u2019<\/h5>\n
The Hamas \u00a0clearly won this round of violence, it has managed to push Israel to the corner. The Israelis are now expecting Netanyahu and Barak to dissolve the \u2018immanent\u2019 ballistic threat. Yet, the IDF doesn\u2019t have a magical military solution except offering full land invasion.<\/h5>\n
But can the Jewish State redeem itself, can Israel actually win this hopeless situation? Of course it can. All it would take from Israelis is to learn to love their neighbours, to accept the Palestinian cause, to grasp that the rockets are actually a love letter to stolen land, cities, villages, fields and orchards. But can the Jewish State look in the mirror and grasp it all? \u00a0Can the Jewish State understand its original sin, it own reality as a plundering oppressive entity? \u00a0\u00a0Yes, of course it can, only if it stops being a Jewish State.<\/h5>\n
