Fast Draw: Israeli Response – Not Aggressive Enough

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

Unbelievable. “The IDF raises the level of response,” or “There are several more levels for the Air Force’s response.”

You heard it. Israel is still not using its full power against the Hamas, while we keep running for our lives to find shelters People in this country have lost their minds. Someone responds to deadly terrorists, armed with thousands of rockets, with combat patterns that were useful 20 years ago.

Hamas prepared itself in Gaza, even hiding some of its plans from the Israeli intelligence agencies. But when the scope of the preparations became clear Israel should have immediately responded with full force, not gradually.

What do I mean? Destroying the homes of Hamas chiefs, including gang leader Hanniye.; disabling power stations in Gaza; Israel also has to stop providing power to Gaza in the first place.

And if Hamas gang leaders are hiding in a humanitarian facility, like a hospital, send an evacuation warning and then proceed to destroy these scared mice, who kept themselves hidden ever since the operation began.

Instead, though, the IDF, under orders from Israel’s government, carries out its operations in “acts”, as if we’re living in a theater production. An entire country is living in fear, the economy is damaged, but the Israeli government treats the enemy as if they’re the Vatican Guard.

Something very basic has gone wrong with the Israeli way of thinking. Once we used to be creative even in war. Now we have planned stages. 600 tons of munitions were wasted on Gaza so far, and we’re still under the threat of rocket fire. Our leadership is basing its actions on a security model that is just plain wrong, just like the disastrous “concept” model that led to the Yom Kippur War of 1973.
