There are many losers in Hamas’ war-crime attack against Israeli civilians. Primary among them are the Israeli women, children and other civilians who have been killed, wounded and kidnapped.
An attendee holds up a pro-Israel sign during a community gathering in support of Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip.They also include Israeli soldiers as well as Palestinian civilians who are forced to serve as human shields to protect Hamas terrorists.Hamas and Hezbollah are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Iranian mullahs, who call the shots.
Another goal is to marginalize the Palestinian Authority and elevate Hamas, thus making a two-state solution impossible — because Hamas will not settle for anything less than Israel’s total destruction.These terrorist groups are not deterrable because they are not the real decision-makers. The only way to stop Hamas’ and Hezbollah’s recurring attacks against Israel is to treat Iran as the attacker and punish it more than its puppet organizations.Israel alone can hurt Iran but not enough to serve as a permanent deterrent.If such an attack succeeded, it would be a win not only for Israel but for the entire region as well as for America and for peace.
The bottom line is that unless Iran is severely punished for instigating terrorist attacks, these attacks will not be significantly deterred by Israeli military actions against the terrorist organizations. Although the international community would publicly criticize such a military action, many world leaders, including in Saudi Arabia and other Arab states, would understand and even welcome it because they realize the world will be better off if the terrorist state of Iran does not have a nuclear arsenal.
