As Ilan Pappe writes (well) in Znet magazine, “Israeli commentators say the war that meant to regain Israel its lost power of deterrence has eroded that power even further. In other societies common sense would have dictated that such a defeat would lead to a rethinking over the usage of military power - but not in Israel. The danger is that the conclusion would be to use more force to regain that lost deterrence.”
The truth is that the power of war has not solved any problem and may have even left the situation worse. The coming days/ weeks will also tell what the capacity is from the international community, the UN and the US, to control the situation.
One thing is true. Contrary to what all those new neo-cons and neo-whatever-shit have been writing - namely in the newspaper Publico - (justifying and appealing to the war, to the use of force as the only solution), war and force are NOT the solution to the problems in the Middle east, nor anywhere else in the world. Diplomacy is the only possible way. Unless they want to go back many centuries, disrespecting international laws and the Human progress (there has been some after all). But such people, as many supposed “journalists” and ignorant opinion makers, only have such opinions because they do not live in these territories. They are not those who see their neighbour, father, sister being killed. They do not have to go to war and see the horror of destruction. They did not live world war II nor others. Maybe they should go once, with the Israeli soldiers, with the Hezbollah fighters, to get a real taste. And maybe they would abstain from writing bullshit.
