Over 90% of Israelis agree that the force used in Gaza was just right or not enough.

Most Israelis now also want Palestinians "gone", whether by increased settlements, annexation or forced "emigration" or "transfer", their preferred euphemism for ethnic cleansing. Hell, they even want their OWN Palestinian- Israeli citizens gone!

Since it's a proven fact that what Israel wants, Israel always gets, I wouldn't put any money on a 50/50 bet.

There is a long game. It's been played for over a hundred years. Israel won.

Hamas and Hezbollah did not form in a political vacuum. lees1975 Yesterday #70

Hamas was founded in 1987. Hezbollah was founded in 1985. Beastly Boy Yesterday #119
