While the Israeli PR spin machine goes into overdrive to make us believe that Israel's vast destruction of Gaza is in self-defense, this analysis is typical of the thinking of Israel's elites.

Israel, meanwhile, can pressure Hamas and Egypt by terrorizing the population. In Operation Accountability in 1993, the IDF rained 24,000 shells on southern Lebanon, driving 300,000 civilians toward Beirut. The chief of staff during that operation was Ehud Barak.
