Israel has not been inactive in the political media battle. The Hamas agents must expose the actual goal – breaking the blockade. I see a shift as even some US officials are referring to the blockade itself as “unsustainable”. What the hell does that mean? It means that the Obamas are feeling more heat than they can handle. They cannot accept that fukyamas beautiful thesis is in tatters. This is not the end of history. This is war without end and we are losing against a determined enemy with no illusions. It happens every day in Afghanistan where American troops are fighting a blood and guts war and the public knows much more about who won in ‘ dancing with the stars’, if anything.

The israeli message must be declared over and over in the loudest possible way and using the fast moving communication tools of the day. Twitter, YouTube, Facebook…these should be tools very familiar to a nation as tech savvy and creative as Israel.

This conflict is a direct result of the weakness of the US government.
