What’s the feeling both yourself and among your peers about what the best approach for Israel is here over the next month or so. A heavy attack? Gaza occupation? Some form of negotiation.
From afar all I can see is political statements, what do you think might be the best (of a lot of very painful) ways forward.
Perhaps that’s too broad a question, answer it as you like.
Thanks, I’m interested that you think occupation is a real possibility, with another leadership to take over control—that would mean a battle and complete takeover I suppose, its hard to imagine Hamas surrendering easily...
Wow thanks so much for this opportunity!

Hey, just saying explicitly that I linked to opinions of other people, not my own.
(and I’m suggesting that you reply there if you have questions for them)
Not easy, but personally I don’t see an alternative, as seems to be a growing concensus. Whether it’s possible we’ll have to see.
The problem is that there is no endgame. As I said two days ago, we’re repeating what the US did after 9/11, mistakes and all.
I agree there’s no endgame. I’m working on a long answer explaining why that’s not too terrible.
As Yonatan said, I answered in that comment. You’re more than welcome to add follow- up questions here.
