It is true that the Palestinian side will face countless losses. I shouldn’t make light of that. But is Israel really ready for urban warfare in one of the densest regions of the world, against a population that hates them with a burning passion, and with reserve troops? Am I really crazy for believing that Palestine could possibly stand up strong against Israel’s ground forces, at the very least?
Remember what happened during the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The fighters were as motivated and prepared as they could possibly be, but they were still militarily outmatched by an enormous margin.
It is important to be cold and unsentimental in warfare. That is necessary to assess your enemies strengths and weaknesses accurately. I believe the Palestinian troops are fully aware of the monstrous disparity in forces and have set out war objectives they feel they are able to achieve in spite of that disparity.
Fair, but with the possibility of Hezbollah’s support this is not a Warsaw Ghetto situation, Israel is fighting on many fronts. But I don’t know enough to make any kind of accurate assessment.
Thankfully our Palestinian comrades are 1000x smarter and braver than me.

I just fucking hate how this mirrors that. I just fucking hate it.
