Speaking Truth to Power

Israel has failed to understand that it cannot expel a people and call itself the victim; that it cannot conquer its neighbours and treat any and all resistance to that conquest as terrorism; that it cannot arm itself as a regional superpower and annihilate the institutional fabric of two peoples without incurring the fury of their children in the years that follow.

It may feel its only hope is to establish a deterrent by showing itself to be an awesome, perhaps slightly mad, retaliator. I think it's a losing strategy.
