Well, we need to start lifting our gaze from Gaza to the international game.
Hamas has played us for some time. If they are trying to dissolve the alliances of Israel and we are fighting to keep the Philadelphia corridor. They are the ones who are controlling the outcome of the war.
When we look at it. What is the quality of a stable and sound relationship to our Arab neighbors.
It is peace and stability of Israel. Not only for the next few years but for the rest of the existence of the country.
We would have won a stable situation.
Going from a startup to a fully fledged country, that has the future in front of it.
This is what Hamas fears. That we mature and become a stable country.
So their victory condition is to disrupt and destroy that.
At least a part of our victory condition should be to keep the maturing of the country to become a stable country.
Off cause getting the rest of the hostages home is equally important. In fact it is more important. The human lives that are in the hell they are in now, should be saved.
So we need to play the game smarter.
What are we? The David or the Goliath?
We need to think in terms of how David would think. Outsmart, use our resources wisely.
Garner international support for our cause.
If we do that, we fight in the way we are supposed to.
G-d bless the will to realize the victory terms that fit us.
