I have nothing but contempt for the George Packers of the world. Yes, Isreal, you have a festering problem with a group that wants to kill all of you, shoots rockets into your country, and hides among civilians, but let's tie your hands when dealing with the existential threat. In TGIF, one blurb was on the idiot progressive professors and the idiocy that spews from them. George is a student who more than likely learned at their feet.
Hamas, when planning this assault, counted on the George Packer's of the world. We can act with impunity and hide out. Israel will do what they always do, hit a few buildings, and then pull back because if they come after us, the cost will be too much for the George Packers of the world to handle. And the George Packers are the world's most intelligent people, and if their sensibilities get hurt, we win.
Sadly, the people of Gaza did nothing to create or stop this, but they are in the middle of it. Who will be to blame? Hamas. When civilians die, its because of Hamas; when they starve or die of disease, it's because of Hamas. Every last member of Hamas must either have a conversion to modernity or die. It is for the people of Gaza to see the futility of acting like barbarians and change. We must not go to the Bush years but rather the Truman years. The Allies crushed the Germans and Japanese. Yes, we killed civilians, but those left created new societies from the old ones. For any new peace to happen, the same pattern must occur. Hamas must be utterly destroyed, and the people who are left must see that the old way is no longer viable and change. This policy might hurt George Packer's feelings but is the only path forward.
