Whatever the merits of Israel's strategy in Gaza, there's a
very good reason that a cease-fire will be hard to attain.
On the one hand, the ayatollahs funding Hamas and Hezbollah
have no incentive to pull back.    On the other hand,
neither do Netanyahu and his reactionary coalitio

The far-right parties in the governing coalition don’t
want a deal.

He needs war so there won’t be elections.

Like Trump, Netanyahu is counting on a crisis, creating
one if necessary,  to keep him out of jail.

It's always like that with populist cults of personality.
They get elected on the basis of promises they can't
possible keep.    Then they have to come up with an excuse
why they can't be elected out of office.   A war is a
popular choice.

And the people of Gaza?   They've relearned the bitter
lesson that nobody cares about them except as cannon fodder
for somebody else's ambitions.

Some Gazans have figured out that the ayatollahs' goals
are not theirs.     But they are stuck with Hamas now,
and with no obvious exit from Iran's strategy against
western influence and the Sunni shei

It's not going to end as long as the ayatollahs keep
getting their strategic money's worth by funding Hamas.j
They don't care how many Sunni Gazans gain the crown of
martyrdom in order to make Persia great again.

The Sunni sheiks understand the underlying dynamics but
don't seem to have a good way out.     Perhaps they hope
Israel will nuke Iran and then the sheiks can condemn
Israel in public and rejoice in private.
