Follow this link to an article on Huffington Post that claims that in the long-run the Israeli military tactics are not helpful for Israel.

You may disagree with Hamas’s claim to success in the latest conflict.  Your logic may tell you that Israel “won”.  However, the above article explains in what sense Hamas “won”.

Whether or not you think Hamas is manipulating words to describe their “win” or you think that Israel really “won”, it is the eventual result of this conflict that will be decide who was “right”.

Consider the possibility that this author has correctly assessed the situation.

Justifying Israel’s actions because you cannot imagine a strategy that would work better, doesn’t really get us anywhere.  Lack of imagination is no guarantee of success.  If they cannot think of a better strategy, then they need to redouble their efforts to imagine one.
