Reader comment on item: Have Israelis Finally Learned the Strategic Value of Territory?
in response to reader comment: Palestinian People Must Feel the Pain

Submitted by yuval Brandstetter (Israel), Jan 4, 2009 at 13:02

1. There is no Palestinian people. its a hoax invented by Soviet advisers to the Islamic Brotherhood fadayeen ensconced in Gaza under Egyptian control back in the merry cold-war sixties.

2. No losses will convince HAMAS to give up in reality. All you can get is a Hudna of indeterminate length, because Arabs do not respect agreements.

3. Israel will never actually win. Victory is not an acceptable option in Israeli society, not wil the "international community" allow such an eventuality, as they never did, since the 1948 war of independence.
