For a long, long time Israel has tried desperately to negotiate a peace with Hamas to no avail. Now, she has had enough. When an antagonist refuses to negotiate a peace, then there is nothing left to do but compel them to stop their warfare.

So be it!

Victory is not peace. Victory is the point in time at which Israel may begin to build a peaceful entity in Gaza. Israel`s most difficult task begins when the fighting stops.
