This Is Not A Gentle Wind

 However, it is a necessary though ugly truth. 

October 11, 2024  Hi, once you leave behind the posturing and the propaganda, you are left with a truly depressing truth. A truth that applies with equal horror in Ukraine or in the Middle East. You cannot kill a people's need for freedom. All you can realistically do is occupy their land until your people are tired of seeing their loved ones come home in body bags.

Occupation Occupation is costly "The situation involving Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah is highly complex and multifaceted. Realistically, completely destroying the military and political effectiveness of both Hamas and Hezbollah simultaneously is an extremely challenging task for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Here are some key points to consider:  Military Capabilities and Strategies: Both Hamas and Hezbollah have developed significant military capabilities over the years, including extensive tunnel networks, rocket arsenals, and guerrilla warfare tactics1. The IDF has been actively targeting these infrastructures, but completely neutralizing them is difficult due to their decentralized and covert nature1.  Geopolitical and Regional Dynamics: Hezbollah operates from Lebanon, while Hamas is based in Gaza. This geographical separation complicates simultaneous military operations. Additionally, both groups receive support from regional actors like Iran, which further complicates the situation12.  Political and Social Factors: Both Hamas and Hezbollah have deep-rooted political and social influence within their respective territories. They are not just military organizations but also political entities with significant local support. This makes it challenging to dismantle their influence without addressing the underlying political and social issues34.  Potential for Prolonged Conflict: Given these complexities, it is more realistic to expect an ongoing conflict characterized by periodic escalations and low-intensity warfare rather than a decisive, quick victory. This could involve a combination of military operations, sieges, and occupations, along with diplomatic efforts to manage and contain the conflict5.  In summary, while the IDF can achieve tactical victories and disrupt the operations of Hamas and Hezbollah, completely destroying their military and political effectiveness simultaneously is unlikely. The conflict is more likely to persist as a prolonged and multifaceted struggle.  If you have any more questions or need further details, feel free to ask!"

But I'm not in Haifa or Beirut or Gaza so, I can look on with a certain detachment. And that detachment tells me that if you can't kill all of your enemies, and you can't, then it is better to make your enemy your friend.  If you won't take this advice, then allow me to make one more suggestion? Invest your money in mortuaries and graveyards.

Occupation is bloody

Neither Israel nor Russia can defeat a people's need for Freedom. Here is the link to the post in Politically Incorrect Politics. Obviously, I think it is a worthwhile read.
