Observation O’ The Day<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Netanyahu got it right when he said, immediately after the invasion was launched, that Israel was at war. The difference is important.

A war ends only when one side internalizes the fact that it is beaten and loses the will to continue.<\/em> – Ed Driscoll<\/p>\n
