Sorry, I went back and saw it was supposed to be a quote. Then I saw Stanley’s fact check. Now what?

If the method you suggest is militarily the best (specifically re: tunnels and napalm), why is it not the one chosen by the IDF, even during Operation Cast Lead?

Well first off I really don’t claim to be a general.

They may well have a thousand even better ways to do the job.

However, why they don’t take stronger actions than they do is very obvious to anyone who follows this. Right? They are terrified of looking bad to the extent they hamstring themselves for a world stage that will always paint them as the villain anyway.

You know this is true. You do. You have said so yourself, or words to that effect in the past.
