Israel cannot win this conflict easily. It will get very bloody for the Israeli Defense Forces when Hamas employs guerilla warfare.
Israel may eventually occupy Gaza, but this will turn in to another Iraq. Hamas has the upper hand in unconventional warfare, and that may end up
being the difference in this conflict.
The reason all of this is happening is this is one of the last remaining conflicts that "they" do not control. That's why there is such urgency in
either a "peace" deal or a complete takeover, such as this. Both would put the situation directly under the control of the banking and foreign
policy elite.
Hamas will not go away or back down from this, so what Israel is trying to prove will ultimately be their down fall. Hamas will receive aid and
funding from Syria and Iran, and don't be at all surprised when you see that Hezbollah has fired rockets in to Israel in retaliation.
I believe Israel is going to get what they deserve in this conflict. It won't be a simple in and out operation, but a very bloody and drawn out one
that ultimately leads to an Israeli pull out.
