Can Israel Survive Its Assault on Gaza? - TIME
Rated • 3 reviews • israel • time.com
Once again it seems like the media is listening to Hamas while completely ignoring the situation with Israel. The followers of Hamas believe that Israel should be "driven to the sea". They launched over 800 rocket attacks into Israel in 2008 alone. Israel has stood by and weathered these attacks while the media ignored them.
This military action is simply Israel going in to take out the rockets and decapitate Hamas. They aren't going to eliminate them -- not because they can't, but because the political price would be too high.There will come a day, though, where either the world is distracted by some other conflict, or the United States withdraws support for Israel, when Israel will figure they have nothing to lose and then you'll find out what they're really capable of doing.In the end, what drags out this war is the media's failure to accurately portray it. The international outcry against the tactics of Hamas never materializes and this failure will eventually force Israel to take real action to stop the attacks going on against it.
