A Stronger Israel?

As long as Israel does not seek to reoccupy Gaza, it can inflict enough damage on the Hamas leadership, and on both the tunnels and the missile stockpiles, to win four or five years of quiet.
In the Middle East, that sort of calm qualifies as victory. And the more the world sees of the elaborate tunnels and vast missile arsenals that an impoverished Hamas had built with other people’s money, and the more these military assets proved entirely futile in actual war, the more Hamas appears not just foolish but incompetent, if not ridiculous, as well.

It would be best if they appeared dead.

If the facts could persuade the people that oppose Israel they would already support Israel. Israel-haters will more likely blame Jews for secretly building and filling arms caches under Gazan hospitals and schools than that Hamas has done what we have video of Hamas doing. Facts are powerless in the face of true-believers.
