After 150 days of destruction in Gaza... Haaretz: Israel is neither stronger nor safer.

The 150 days were harsh and difficult - as Levy says - and they did not produce anything in favor of Israel. On the contrary, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) emerged stronger and became the champion of the Arab world. Although there is no improvement in sight as long as Israel stubbornly rejects every proposal for radical change, Israelis want more of the same, like a gambler who has lost all his money but is still convinced that one more bet will make him win the jackpot.
