Israel is right. Are false peace, are waging a war under false pretenses. Hamas is quietly in the control room of the Turkish ships. Violating a blockade has serious implications that only the irresponsible and reckless, always ready to raise the finger of condemnation, it does not. And the Western European countries, with the press on the front line, ready and prone to make their own version of Hamas. This is why friends of Israel must now make their own voice,
All true, but not enough to be right, is useless. The asymmetric wars, modern wars - those troops are deployed in a democratic country against illegal militias in the middle between the army, organized gangs and militants of the party, new fighters who hide among the people - have one thing in contemporary conflicts terrible. You lose and you do not win militarily, that is, on the ground, but the policy level where the game is played by all means. The actor militarily weaker, the Palestinians and Hamas, will only seek confrontation certainly not on military grounds where Israel is infinitely stronger, technology, weapon systems and organization, but looking to weaken the will of the opponent through the international diplomatic isolation, the breakup of her domestic front, the conquest of world public opinion. It has been so skewed in any war or "among the people" since the war. And the first teachers in the management of international public opinion and diplomatic level as opposed to the material force of the Arabs were right, that the Algerian National Liberation Front, defeated always on the field, was able to forget, with the help of French paratroopers and their questionable methods, the horrible massacres of settlers and opponents of the destruction of villages. And then came the Vietnam with the world press sided with the Viet Cong not ready to see the horrors committed by the communists. But there is little to rail against the new rules of the game. The real truth is that the force and only one ingredient, a tool, of course necessary, but one of many. The use of civilians to shield themselves with innocent women and children, forcing the enemy to make more use of inhumane methods and contrary to international law, contrary to the conscience of a democratic country, is a definite policy of asymmetric adversaries. The aim is to fall in contradiction opponent, make him ashamed of himself, divide the population of the enemy, separate the government from the electorate, the army from his people. The purpose of the Viet Cong, the NLF, Hamas, Hezbollah is just the insulation del proprio avversario, attraverso un rovesciamento sapiente di ruoli. Questo è l'obiettivo più importante, dopo quello della difesa, che Israele deve contrastare con tutti i mezzi, rifiutando per quanto è possibile di cadere nelle provocazioni che non fanno altro che approfondire quella frattura morale dove i terroristi sguazzano.
E' sul fronte dei media, della diplomazia, di chi costruisce il consenso internazionale, che si svolge la battaglia strategica, non sul piano militare dove è necessario per Tel Aviv solo non perdere, e il fronte è molto più grande e complesso di poche migliaia di chilometri. Ed è su questo fronte che l'iniziativa dei commandos della marina e di chi li ha mandati era completamente wrong. What was, what Israel wanted to prove? Of course nobody wants to teach has always been a country struggling for its very existence to a people that has been forced to prove by force of arms the right to survival, what is good and what is bad, no one can know better than them. But if this observation is prudent in terms of deep motivations, and then leads us to look with respect even tragedies like this, one can not deal with on a rational level the level of relations between Palestinians and Israelis. This conflict has not only military in nature, but the political aspect at all times and goes through step by step the relations of force: see miolitareè always just looks wrong as counterproductive.
After what has happened, and who won Israel? Yet another debate on who's right and who's wrong? A diplomatic row with Turkey, the chill of Washington, the timid reaction of Europe? The manifestations of the usual anti-war? The general strike of the territories?
If a lesson is important to understand is that being right is not enough, you sapersela conquer and defend and that consent is sometimes more important than victory on the field. If the truth is that Israel is not Hamas want peace, which is not a problem of the occupied territories, as evidenced by the return of Gaza itself, now will only much more difficult to convince world public opinion with the result that feel increasingly isolated land of David. For this in such a difficult time for Israel's friends have to say that is wrong.
