The two sides have been fighting between Palestine and Israel, to be precise, between Hamas and Israel, but we have not heard of any decent frontal fighting on a large scale between the Hamas forces and the Israeli army.
From the point of view of the form of the war, this is an offensive and defensive war of Israeli offensive and Hamas defense, and more specifically, it is Israel's security war against the Gaza Strip.
According to the characteristics of the law and order war, Israel's goal is to eliminate Hamas, which opposes Israel, and Israel's current ** also said so, and the tone is set very high, determined to eliminate Hamas.
However, there is a problem with this, Israel must first determine who Hamas is, and it must screen Hamas from the civilian population in the Gaza Strip and pick Hamas to fight it.
This is a difficult point for Israel, because war is all about achieving political ends.
Israel's political goal is to win a safe space to live, which is, of course, as large as possible, and the short-term goal is to take the Palestinian areas (including the Gaza Strip and the West Bank), which of course he has never achieved. The original reason was that other Arab countries also wanted to own this land, and the result of Israel's competition with other Arab countries was that Israel won the war, but did not completely obtain Palestine, because other Arab countries chose to recognize and vigorously support the Palestinians when there was no hope of carving up Palestine.
In this context, Palestine has effectively become the front line of the overt and covert struggle between Israel and the Arabs of the Middle East.
Israel's delay in taking Palestine is directly related to the Middle Eastern Arabs behind the Palestinians.
The Arabs do not have this idiom, but the basic rules that human beings should follow are the same. With a large Arab and Muslim community behind it, it is impossible for Israel to wage a genocidal war similar to the conquest of the Americas in the Middle Ages or the Age of Discovery. Even if the generational difference between them and Hamas is very obvious, even if the Gaza Strip is only a small land.
If the size of the ethnic group determines that Israel cannot forcibly gnaw at Palestine, modern civilization, with Western values as the main body, has also closed the door of Israel's killing spree.
Originally, the so-called universal values of the West were a political means to prevent the latecomers from using the same method to oust the world rulers in the case of Western military domination, but this also actually tied the hands and feet of the West itself.
For example, in the Vietnam War, from a military point of view, did the United States lose?Apparently not!What the United States loses is politics, and it is Westerners, especially Americans, who have been educated by universal values, that cannot stand it. If we go back to before the 19th century, the Vietnamese would not have been treated better than the Indians.
With the above-mentioned factors, there is no possibility that Israel will take Palestine completely by military means.
Let's just say that the Gaza Strip is only 8 kilometers wide, and Li Yunlong can penetrate it with a single shot with the Italian artillery of the last century, and the French span of 1,000 kilometers in World War II was small, and Germany fought for a month. Eight kilometers have not been beaten for two and a half months, and the problem is that Israel has to be a human being under today's value system, and it has to consider whether it will drown in the dirty water it has done in the event of ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
Some people say that Hamas does not abide by the rules of war, hides among civilians and carries out sneak attacks on Israel, and uses civilians and even women and children as human shields, which makes Israel afraid to carry out demolition and relocation indiscriminate strikes on the Gaza Strip.
At first glance, this statement makes sense, but Hamas does not talk about martial virtue and does not dare to stand up and stand up to Israel, which is simply a moral kidnapping of Israel.
But the premise of this argument is wrong in the first place, because he assumes a general premise that the war has nothing to do with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and at the same time assumes a minor premise that the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip do not support Hamas.
Let's start with the big premise, the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip live in this place, and whenever there is a war here, they are bound to be victims. It's like throwing dynamite into a lake to fry a fish, and your target is crucian carp, can carp and grass carp be spared?As long as carp and grass carp have a minimum judgment of likes and dislikes, they should resent the crucian carp or the person who threw the explosives!
As for the small premise, the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip live together, that is, relatives, neighbors, classmates, co-workers, and partners, and on the basis of this relationship, will they support Hamas or Israel?Moreover, Hamas is the governing group elected by the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
To say that Hamas does not dare to fight against Israel and does not protect Palestinian civilians, if it is not deliberately said with ulterior motives, at least consider whether Hamas has the ability to do so. What is the problem with Hamas's use of guerrilla warfare and urban street fighting to offset Israel's equipment superiority as much as possible when its military capabilities are completely unequal!
It is not that Israel's military capabilities have been blown too far, but that it has taken the wrong military approach against the tide of the times. I thought that what the unsuccessful art students said, "As long as you can achieve the final victory, the truth is on your side" is the truth.
