Gabi Sheffer has penned an oped indicating that Israel cannot win with occupation in Gaza. He comments on the fact that the IDF hasn't won a war in the last thirty tears. Although he probably differs with what I am about to say, he is correct in his assessment.
Occupation will not work. It has been proven time and again. Only the total defeat of the "palestinian" islamists can work. The IDF cannot resort to only coming up with plans to occupy it must come up with military plans to totally defeat the enemy. This means war in Gaza not occupation. As long as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Al Aqsa operate in Gaza then there will be no peace. The "palestinians" that live in the region have supported one or all of these groups therefore they are not without guilt.
Though Israel has not won a war in the last 30 years it is not the IDF's fault. A government that has allowed itself to be pushed around and eventually given in to world demands is to blame. Every time Israel has been on the verge of victory it has pulled back or withdrawn for one inane reason or another. It has allowed itself the false hope that the enemy really wanted peace and not war. It fooled itself into believing that the islamists actually could live next door to the children of Israel. Jew and muslim living side by side in peace despite the hatred the muslim has for the Jew. In short, insanity has ruled both the islamist and the Israeli government for quite some time.
The "palestinians" have been nothing but canon fodder for their arab/islamist brethren for quite some time. They have been the public reminder of arab/islamist failure over the last century or so. However they are a useful propaganda tool used against the guilt ridden, compassionate to a fault, western world. Enough is enough.
It's time to put an end to all of this. The "palestinians" are starving and dying because of their own lunacy, ignorance, and hatred. It's time to hold them responsible for their own actions. Americans and other western nations take full blame for their government's actions so therefore the Middle Eastern nations should be held to the same standard. When the world went to war in the 1940's the enemy was identified and the enemies were nations not just ideas.
We are not just at war with islam or terrorists. We are at war with Iran and Syria. Add in the nations that provide financial support to the terror groups in the region. In short, we are at war with the arab/islamist nations in the region. If there is to be true change then the arab/islamists who don't wish to be at war should be forced to announce this and deal with whatever internal turmoil it causes. Either declare friendship or prepare to be treated as an enemy.
Too many people are dying in the name of shuttle diplomacy and false hope. Either get to fighting or watch as more people die while politicians eat good meals. drink expensive wine, and travel the world achieving nothing while claiming hope for something that doesn't exist.
