Thanks for your comment. You are correct.

Nonetheless, we have yet to see the outcome of the current war against Gaza. But after reducing the northern half of Gaza to rubble and displacing 90 percent of the population of Gaza, the IDF still does not control the north, nor has it dismantled Hamas. And it's not clear how long the US will permit Israel to continue its attack, given the humanitarian crisis the invasion has caused.

I hope the leaders of Hamas leaders will be appropriately punished for the October 6 attack. In fact, I hope that Hamas would disappear and that Gazans would choose a secular, democratic governance. But I don't believe this invasion will lead to either of these. To the contrary, when the fighting stops, I suspect that Hamas will continue to be in control of Gaza.
