Israel has already lost the war

The fact that HAMAS has withstood Israel, with heavy fighting, for a month, is an automatic victory for HAMAS. Things can only go downhill from here. In 1967, the entire Egyptian Air Force was destroyed in a day. One month into the war with an enclave some 4 miles wide and 24 mile long (the size of a SMALL township in the US), HAMAS is still lobbing rockets at Israelis and killing them:

So much for trying to keep the "moral high ground" -- only to sink in quicksand. I dare say, heads will roll in the knesset. Even 2006 was a glorious victory, compared to this. Corruption. Corruption. Incompetence.
