How and who's going to replace them? Look I think that Islam is total nonsense, but still I suspect Hamas were smart enough to expect a hard response from Netanyahu. I'm sure they've factored that into their calculations. The Liberals seem to give us the same delusional strategy time and time again. If we punish a people enough, they will rise up overthrow their government and replace it with an administration that is totally subservient.
Now yes, we have to admit it worked with Germany. The Liberals did in the end get what they wanted, France got Alsace Lorraine and the German people on their knees, like a compliant poodle begging for approval from its master. But Jesus the cost they had to play in two world wars and half of Europe given to Joseph Stalin. Was it really worth the cost, wouldn't it have been better to let Austria Hungary and Serbia sort it out themselves in 1914? but there you go. And then get this, the Liberals are now whining that Germans are not aggressive enough, that Germans place too high a value on peace.
But generally, the punish the people enough and they will overthrow their government and put in a totally complaint regime begging for Liberal approval strategy has not worked. We're still waiting for the Cuba sanctions to work 70 years on. In Iraq we tried crippling sanctions with occasional air strikes. It was reported that 800 thousand people including half a million children had been killed by sanctions. The sanctions certainly seemed to be working in terms of punishing the Iraqi people, but strangely the compliant Israel loving Iraqi government never manifested.
With Russia again we were promised that in 6 months the Russian people would overthrow their regime and institute a compliant poodle regime that would beg for Liberal approval, just like modern German governments have done. Crippling sanctions were put in place, Russians were banned from sporting, music and cultural events and a racist hate campaign worthy of Der Sturmer was waged across the western media. Now I know we expected the Russians to react rationally ask what they had done wrong and seek their western Liberal massas for forgiveness and appeoval. But yet again we're still waiting.
There are other cases we could examine. So forgive my scepticism, but I'm just not totally convinced that further punishment of the people of Gaza will produce the compliant poodle / "partner for peace" government that the Liberals feel they're so entitled to expect.
