"I studied in Italy in 2002 and spent time traveling around a lot; over the years I recall how the creeping security and militarization increased in response to the terror attacks and rising violence in many countries. In a decade or so people will be told that any memory of a different era is just imagination it was always like thislike how one mayor tried to claim that having terror attacked is part and parcel of living in a big citywhen its actually not they just wanted to make us accept that it is so we have to accept violence and ruin"

"Incorrect. Most of the Land of Israel was livable for recorded human history. It was always inhabited. The British PEF survey of 1880 found 1000 villages and cities in the land from Hebron to Tiberias. The Zionist movement helped drain some swamps in places like the Huleh and the coastal plain extending the area of possible human settlement and reducing malaria. The modern shape of Israels urban pattern and some rural settlement was made possible by this endeavor. Please study the history rather than say it was hardly livable"

"I was in the battle of Mosul it actually wasnt equal levels. It was much less than Gaza and its an equal size and equal population if you take in the environs. We can learn from Mosul Raqqa and Marawi how to do better regarding post-war Gaza I doubt Marawi was at all similar maybe to a neighborhood in Gaza. Raqqa WAS NOT systematically destroyed like parts of Gaza and it is a functioning city today. In Gaza whole areas were systematically destroyed even AFTER they were captured. If people want to compare Gaza to other places then lets compare and contrast and study those wars or go to Gaza"

"For decades this is what happened. Hamas murders and kidnaps. Hamas gets ceasefire. Hamas murders and kidnaps. Hamas gets ceasefire. Hamas murders and kidnaps. Whats fascinating is that for a few days after Oct X Israeli officials said when the war is over there wont be Hamasbut then they quietly changed the message discipline to defeating Hamas military and governance capabilitiesand it became clear Hamas will remain. It might be weakened or disarmed partly but the overall result is to have it remain. Why Because no one will replace it and there is no interest in having the PA in Gaza so"

"If you look at the doctrine of Israel's early leadership they had a very smart outlook on the future of the state and its place in the world. They wanted ties with the emerging countries in Africa and in Asia; they wanted Israel well placed to take advantage of global opportunities and to be a player linked to the West. They wanted advanced military technology to be able to get to decisive quick victories"

"What changed over time is a different generation that felt Israel could remake things; particularly in the Lebanon war which turned into a quagmire. Rather than remaking Lebanon the war ended with Hezbollah stepping into the vacuum. The policy of letting Hamas take over Gaza in order to divide it from the PA led to endless war and disaster on Oct. 7"

"Are "hegemonic" powers benefited by lots of small wars on borders Or should they use their power to create stability What does history say Faced with complex odds Israel's early leaders developed a doctrine that led to stability. They had a strategy. The challenge today is Israel faces a number of fronts where it has set up a Catch-22. In Gaza if Hamas doesn't disarm Israel will remain in control of half of Gaza essentially managing a conflict and the lives of X million people forever. In Lebanon if Hezbollah doesn't disarm Israel will continue airstrikes into the foreseeable future. In Syria"

"One wonders if Israel's early leaders looked at this map what they would think. On the one hand they would see a country far more powerful than in their dreams. However they might wonder about the use of that power. With no major enemies left to vanquish; no Nasser; no United Arab Republic; no Saddam; they might say it was time to find a strategy out of the endless small conflicts"

"All one can say is that this is only going to get worse for absolutely no reason and diminishing returns essentially ended up with a threat and a problem where none existed before. In the end of the day having Israeli troops in friction with or ruling over Syrian civilians is a recipe for things that are not in the interest of either country or anyone.

"most of the Zionist movement in the land that became Israel had been training and girding for war which they knew was likely because they had smart leaders. Most of the fighters in 1948 were not survivors although some were and some tragically lost their lives after having been through so much in the Shoah. The Yishuv of Ben-Gurion and the Haganah; and Begin and the Irgun and Lehi was preparing for war for years. Luckily they had a large well trained number of men and women some of whome had served in the British army. It was not primarily Holocaust survivors who fought in 1948 it was guys"

"Israel's early leadership was very smart in its doctrine. They understood that adversaries were unlikely to be toppled in war and that a long grueling war to try to remove the Nasser regime or Ba'athists or any other government wouldn't work. Therefore their doctrine was quick decisive wars. They understood that Israel benefited from short wars in which it called up reserves for a few weeks and then sent them home so the country could thrive economically. They invested in diplomacy primarily to work with countries outside the first circle of adversary states"

"The doctrine has now shifted to what is seen as an offensive doctrine of pre-emption which essentially means low level conflict on most borders; in Gaza in Lebanon and Syria. Unlike in the 1950s and 1960s when Israel faced conventional military threats; Jerusalem feels it faces no real threats today instead it will dictate. However with great power comes great responsibility; something the US had to struggle with in the 1990s and 2000s on a global scale. Israel's challenge is more regional as the regional "hegemonic" power in some views"
