Hasn't Israel won already?

Reader comment on item: Breaking the Palestinians' Will to Fight
in response to reader comment: Disregarding Jihad Component

Submitted by Raul Marks, Apr 12, 2017 at 20:49

The Israelis have won and been victorious since 2005 or so and here is why:

1) prosperity...Israel is wealthy and its citizens well looked after.
2) safety...there has not been any mass casualty Palestinian attack in about a decade. Apart from a few rockets fired by Hamas and Hezbollah, those fronts are also quiet. And those rockets are so crude they never kill anyone. ISIS has attacked all the neighboring countries and even in europe and the US, but they haven't been able to touch Israel.
3) PR...the world is increasingly taking the Israeli side and not Palestinians'. For example, the first visit by an Indian PM will occur this year and along with a massive defense deal.

Israel has already won and the Palestinians' will cease to be an entity by the year 2117.
