Gaza's End-Game
Greg Dejerejian is skeptical:
For what concretely realizable ends this ghastly suffering? To
re-establish a 'new reality' in Israel's South? Bunk, I'm afraid, as
Hamas is all but sure to preserve at least some rocket-fire capacity,
unless the IDF is ready to go into each and every back alley and
basement of Gaza for another 60-90 days, in hand to hand fighting that
would turn Gaza into a Grozny-on-the-Mediterranean, if it hasn't been
already, or even worse. To show a re-invigorated deterrent to the
'neighborhood', notably Iran, after the Lebanon sortie that proved so
ineffective? But the Iranians well know a campaign against Iran is of a
magnitude wholly different by an exponential degree than against Gaza
(so much so that even President Bush refused Israeli entreaties to
pursue such an action), so they will not be particularly impressed.
