Hamas Strengthened by Israel's Attack
Source: Israel, despite all its military capabilities - conventional and unconventional - is no longer able to guarantee its citizens' security.
Today, with all these capabilities, they can't stop a simple rocket from being launched from Gaza.
In contrast to the grim forecasts of many fine contributors to this site over the past days, we have been inclined to take the view that Israel's onslaught on Gaza, appalling though the carnage has been, is not only a crime but a blunder.
One similar to the attack on Lebanon in 2006, which demonstrated Israel's military weakness, and the corruption of its armed forces after long years of bravely tormenting unarmed Palestinian peasants at check points, sawing down their olive groves and crushing their homes with bulldozers and high explosive.
The left has a tendency to demonize its enemies in terms of proficiency in administering their dastardly onslaughts.
Through this optic, the claims of the arms manufacturers are always taken at face value, whether about the effectiveness of bunker busters, or devices to detect Hamas' Qassams.
In our latest newsletter we print a long interview with Hamas' leader in Damascus, Khaled Meshal, conducted by CounterPuncher Alya Rea, myself and others, including former US Senator James Abourezk.
Meshal made a case for Israel's decline in military effectiveness:
Since 1948, if we want to draw a curve of Israel's progress, do you think that this curve is still heading up, or maybe is at a plateau, or is heading down? I believe that the curve is now in descent.
And today, the military might of Israel is not capable of concluding matters to Israel's satisfaction.
Since 1948, you may notice that Israel has defeated 7 armies. In '56 they defeated Egypt. In '67 they defeated 3 countries: Egypt, Syria, and Jordan.
In '73, the war was somewhat equal in both sides between Egypt and Israel, if not for Nixon's airlift to Israel's forces at that time, the map of the world would be different. In '82 Israel defeated the PLO in Beirut.
But since 1982, 26 years ago, Israelis has not won any war. They did not defeat the Palestinian resistance, and they did not defeat the Lebanese resistance. Since that time, Israel has not expanded but has contracted.
They have withdrawn from southern Lebanon and from Gaza. These are indicators that the future is not favorable to Israel.
Today Israel, despite all its military capabilities - conventional and unconventional - is no longer able to guarantee its citizens' security.
Today, with all these capabilities, they can't stop a simple rocket from being launched from Gaza.
Hence the big question is, can military might ensure security? Hence, we may say that when Israel refuse the Arab and the Palestinian offer, a state of Palestine on the border of 1967, Israel is losing a big opportunity.
Some years down the road, a new Palestinian generation, new Arab generations, may not accept those conditions, because the balance of power may not be in Israel's favor.
Hamas, as I remarked last week, has been greatly strengthened by the current attack and the status of President Abbas reaffirmed as a spineless collaborator with Israel.
Mubarak likewise. Syria and Turkey alienated from Western designs; Hezbollah and Iran vindicated by the world condemnation of Israel's barbarous conduct. More...
