Is the War Over?
(Jerusalem Report)Hirsh Goodman - From a military point of view, this war was over before it started: It was only a question of time and blood until the Palestinians understood that they had no chance. Israel did not even begin to use the military means available to it, like heavy artillery, and held back when using its air force. Instead of conducting a campaign from the air which would have meant virtually no Israeli casualties and thousands of Palestinian fatalities - a method employed by the NATO allies in the former Yugoslavia and by the U.S. and its partners in the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan - Israel used its infantry and occasionally armored forces preemptively and preventively.
