Ok, I hear some rumors, that after the seize fire, a more prolonged and less agressive course will be conducted. Perhaps some of the reflection here regarding the situation and the strategic measures to be taken has helped sway the leaders of Israel.

Anyway, here are some added reflections.

Winston Churchill did not like Islam, in fact he was very much against it. But he had some insights, that I think could inspire us he said;

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!
Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobiain a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step, and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it (Islam) has vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”

This is why I recommend the drone war. Because we cannot beat them in morale, but we can beat them in tech.

Our edge is tech.

Now, it all comes down to a prolonged siege of Gaza. In sieges, one thing is paramount; ressources. The side with the most resources win.

So control of ressources is all it is about. This means, controlling the flow of medicine, food, armament and so on into Gaza.

There are an abundance of children, women and elderly trapped in this conflict. They are used as a prime weapon by Hamas. This is obviously horrific, but we need to give the poor persons a way out. So I propose a bridge to a secure area, where refugees can flee to.

The area should be so far away from the Gaza Strip, so that they cannot reinforce the warriors there. This means finding an area in the Sahara, somewhere perhaps below in Africa or somewhere else. It is important however, that we control the area as long as the conflict continues, so that they do not use is as a point of rearmament.

Then just use the tech to our advantage. Take it easy, be sharp on the priorities, and let time go for a while. We are a lot of points behind Hamas in the international game of diplomacy, but through a prolonged, and humane handling of the conflict, with very, very precise attacks with our tech, we can still win the hearts and minds of the world.

G-d bless Israel.
