This was a tactical success but a strategic blunder by Hamas. The Western left has restrained Israel in its dealings with Hamas for over a decade now. That is now gone. It’s going to really difficult to try and rein in an Israeli response to an assault that really looks no different than what we saw from groups like ISIS.

If anything good can come of this tragedy, it'll be that Gaza is destroyed and incorporated back into Israel.
