Mr. Prime Minister, reports are circulating that Israel’s Security Cabinet is considering a ceasefire. That would not be just an awful mistake, but the repetition of an awful mistake Israeli governments have made on a serial basis from the War of Independence in 1948 to Operation Returning Echo in 2012. I don’t think I need to remind you, sir, that the inconclusive endings agreed to by Israel in all prior conflicts have just set the table for the next bloody war. Another show of weakness on your part and the upshot will be more casualties and a more disruptive clash.
It’s past time the great state of Israel gets over this self-defeating syndrome, acts like a Jewish grown-up - and like any nation facing a mortal threat - keeps pressing the attack until the enemy is forced to end it on your terms or, better yet, is wiped out.
