I agree it's delusional, except perhaps for the eventual replacement of Israeli troops by a peacekeeping force of reliable US allies, and even that's a stretch. My two comments today and yesterday were addressed to those on the list - in particular, RKOB - who have been at pains to declare this

Re: [marxmail] Ceasefire Agreement between Hamas and Israel is a Strategic Defeat for Netanyahu & Israel

Strategic defeat for Israel?  I think the only strategy has been the destruction of the ability of Gaza to sustain life, and that has been achieved.  You think Hamas can replenish itself?  There won't be a weapon of greater firepower supplied to Hamas by any country. This has been a programmati

Re: [marxmail] ‘Israel is frustrated’ at inability to secure victory in Gaza: Analyst

At the very least, I would withhold judgement about whether this is a strategic victory for Palestine and a strategic defeat for Israel until it becomes clear whether the ceasefire a) leads to a permanent cessation of the Israeli assault and the full withdrawal of its forces from Gaza, b) advanc

Re: [marxmail] ‘Israel is frustrated’ at inability to secure victory in Gaza: Analyst

Israel signed the same deal that Hamas had accepted and Israel rejected just a few months ago. So they got a few more months of slaughter but no extra political gains. Of course they have the political and military might but they had that anyway. I don't see the ceasefire as a victory for Israel. W
