The article discusses the current conflict between Israel and Palestine, focusing on the recent attack by Hamas on Israeli military installations. It highlights the potential political consequences for Israel, drawing parallels to the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War. The article argues that Hamas could achieve its objectives by increasing Palestinian solidarity, isolating Israel internationally, and eroding bipartisan support for Israel in the United States. It also criticizes Israel's approach to the conflict, stating that its violence only replenishes Hamas's ranks and undermines its own security. The article concludes that Israel's military may oust Hamas from Gaza, but Hamas may seek to solidify its status as a national resistance organization. It also notes the increasing support for armed resistance in the West Bank and the escalating violence by Israeli settlers. The article suggests that Israel's policy of separating the West Bank and Gaza has failed, and that the recent attack serves as a reminder that resistance is a form of veto power over others' attempts to determine the fate of Palestinians. It questions Israel's plan for Gaza after the war and suggests that the Israeli government may seek to make the territory uninhabitable for Palestinians. The article also criticizes the idea of putting Mahmoud Abbas back in charge of Gaza, as the Palestinian Authority lacks credibility and preventing Palestinian sovereignty has been a consensus among Israeli leaders. It concludes by stating that Hamas's attack has forced a reset of the political context, but Israel appears unwilling to respond beyond using military force. [Extracted from the article]
