| "Senior Israel Defense Forces officers criticized certain cabinet ministers on Sunday for beating the drum for military action in the Gaza Strip. " - Haaetz Those officers are not running for office. They do not understand the necessity of putting personal gain before national interest. "The officers cautioned against "war-mongering" senior officials, claiming they only encouraged Hamas to escalate." - Haaretz It was the IDF who launched the attack which kicked off the current crisis. "Both Barak and Ashkenazi want to avoid a broad operation in the Strip at this point," - Haaretz Good idea, war might make good politics, but it makes for poor military options. "Officials in Barak`s bureau said Sunday that they believed Hamas was now trying to curtail the rocket fire, partly due to Egyptian pressure." - Haaretz Hamas has been clearly opposed to the destruction of the cease fire. War for political gain is usually a disaster. |
