Correct. But they can somewhat reduce the number of lost soldiers by doing what they have been doing.
At this point, the US needs to step in and demand a cease fire. Tensions are building and we are inching towards a regional war in which the US will have to get involved against the big boys. Israel has devastated Gaza. The point has been proven. F the warmongers. So many children have been killed since the bombings have taken place. It is really disgusting.
@Ubiquitin knows the modern history; he read my book recommendation. I do get frustrated by people who insist the Palestinians were there first, or don't know the history of Jerusalem. or that there were Jews in the Holy Land for a millennia before Mohammed, or that Mohammed himself was an invader of Palestine.
They lost against Hezbollah in 2006, they lost in Gaza in 2014 and they'll lose again. The ITF on the ground has no chance against trained militants.
Chancellor. You sound like you are a fan. Fortunately, >99% of Germans alive today do not only not agree with you, but agree that that was the darkest period of our history.
