Sorry, no.

Israel has definitely lost this round of the media war. Only vague mentions of Israeli hardships. Pitiful pictures of the poor Gazans flood the airwaves.

And, as you note, Juan Cole pleases his Saudi masters and blames Israel 100%.

Note too, that almost immediately after Barak relented and sent a fuel shipment to Gaza, Hamas responded with yet another massive rocket and mortar barrage.

Israel should immediately mobilize 50,000 troops for a ‘coup d’main’ style invasion of Gaza. After which a military governor should be appointed. After an acceptable period of time, the area would be handed back to Fatah, minus weapons and terrorists.

Jews who are guilty that they are alive are a huge reason why Israel is in peril.

Evict Gaza. Settle Yesha. Repeat.
