GAZA | Israel's Unwinnable New War?
Prof James Ker-Lindsay

On 7 October 2023, Hamas launched a major attack on Israel from their base in Gaza. In what became the largest loss of life in a single day in the country’s history, over 1200 people were killed, many in a truly horrific manner. On top of that, almost 3,000 were injured, and around 150 Israelis were taken hostage. In response, the Israeli Government declared war on the group. Since then, it has heavily bombarded Gaza and placed it under a “complete siege”. This has now seen over a thousand Palestinians killed and almost 6000 wounded, including many children. But as Israel appears ready to launch a ground invasion, many are asking whether this is a war Israel can ever actually win. For almost 80 years, the Israel-Palestinian conflict has been a feature of international politics. It has led to major wars in the Middle East in 1948, 1967, and 1973. In addition, it has fuelled other conflicts and fed international terrorism. However, in recent years, the conflict seems to have dropped off the international radar. Following a peace plan in 1993, the world has steadily turned its attention elsewhere. As a result, the conflict has lingered, occasionally flaring up. This was highlighted by this latest outbreak of violence. But as the region braces for the most serious fighting in many years, a conflict that could draw in the West Bank, Lebanon, and even Iran, real questions need to be asked about how the issue might finally be settled, once and for all.

Progressives call for US to take in some of the expected 1 million Gaza refugees

Fifty percent of the population in Gaza are children. The international community as well as the United States should be prepared to welcome refugees from Palestine while being very careful to vet and not allow members of Hamas,” said Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a New York member of the Socialist-Democratic “Squad” who remains under investigation for pulling a fire alarm in the House Cannon Office Building earlier this month.

My Comment: Just what this country needs to put the final nail in the coffin. What a disaster this would be.

The term winning in this usage, is in the mind of the reader. To me, winning is to wipe out thousands of these POS's and then turn their living area's into a no mans land to act as a buffer zone for Israel. THAT is winning for me. They will never win their hearts and minds, they have tried, and it will not happen. Then DESTROY THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS, if they have to. No one wanted this....except for the animals.

Is this a "F around" kind of thing?

There appears to be a significant amount of Israeli's who would be pro 2 state solution with the Palestinians ..

looks like the % is less, however still about 1/3 ..

For sure, Arabs of the different tribes can't get along with each other without bloodshed. Now... you throw in the Jews that are a completely completely different tribe and you're going to expect kumbya?? Good luck with that...

A two-state solution won't solve anything... Their goal is to kill every Jew anywhere in the world... They've had 75 years and multiple offers for a two-state solution they turn them down since day one..... That offer is no longer on the table because we know it won't resolve the problem... Two state solution is a final solution. They say it themselves it's in their charter and every time they're on fucking TV...
Their own brothers in Egypt which borders Gaza don't want them either no other Arab country wants them because they know turmoil they cause.... So unless the citizenry changes their attitude and uprises against terrorist leadership nothing will change....
This is not a territorial dispute it's an ideological dispute... Where one group believes the other should be eliminated from the face of the Earth...
